WARM SUN, COOL BREEZE 79 together with the wall’s transitioning levels of density. The configuration corresponds with the physical attributes of the different types of perforated concrete blocks used. For the house’s first floor, the facade is constructed with the highest level of density for privacy purposes, before the mass gradually becomes more airy and open on the higher floors to grant the inhabitants better access to the view. The higher the floor, the more open the openings are to take in the outside surroundings.” There are a number of parts where adjustments were made with the arrangement of concrete blocks and glass openings during the construction process. Having inspected the site at different phases of the construction, certain details were revised based on the architect’s observation of the actual perspectives, and how natural light, shadow and wind interact with the actual spaces. The approach ends up bringing out the best possible potential of the design and the effects it has on the way the owners live and interact within the living spaces. In addition to the wind, there are stories of natural light and shadow, and their presence on different surfaces at varying intensities and times of day, including the role of nature on the facilitated visual connection of the architecture and its spaces. “I personally love this project because I feel that it changes the way I think and approach construction, architecture and structure because the entire process progresses very naturally. From the surface of the concrete blocks, the natural colors of the perforated blocks, the grey of the imported cement used with the interior walls, the natural wind and light that bring the house to life, to the exposed details of structural works from the beams, pipes, electrical cords, each existing as a part of this one narrative. I’m thankful for what changed my mindset which has made me let go and to allow certain things to reveal their rawness because not everything has to be embellished or polished.” From the architect’s perspective, “in the end, what makes the house smart, architecturally, is how the design manages the existing natural resources be it the wind or sunlight; how it maximizes the potentials of these natural elements to deliver the best possible quality of life through the use of an architectural body of knowledge. Take natural light, for example, how can we develop the quality of natural light in a living space or how can we curate living experiences from the way sunlight changes at different times of day, or how can we manipulate a space or insert some sort of rhythm to it to create or reflect discernible emotions? These factors are all important.” anonymstudio.com fb.com/anonymstudio ณัฐนิช ชัยดี จบการศึกษาด้าน ออกแบบตกแต่งภายใน ปั จจุบั นเป็ นคอลั มนิ สต์ อิสระ ด้านสถาปั ตยกรรม และวัฒนธรรม Nathanich Chaidee is a graduate of interior design and currently working as a freelance journalist in architecture design and culture.
