Regarding spatial connectivity, the architect has
designed the garage to be situated at the front
of the structure and fully covered by the roof. The
circulation subsequently leads to a walkway that
provides access to a multifunctional room, which
has been designed to cater to visitors and serve as
a dining area. The area in question also functions
as the central hub of the abode, connecting the
semi-common outdoor area to the internal living
quarters. Furthermore, it establishes a connection
with the deck situated deeper within the house,
adjacent to the pool and the garden area. This
particular section of the spatial program features
expansive curtain walls that facilitate visual connectivity.
The western wing of the house provides
access to the sleeping quarters through an interior
walkway. The living space has been intentionally
designed to optimize privacy through an L-shaped
layout that seamlessly integrates natural elements,
thereby enhancing the overall living experience.
The layout positions the pathway towards the deck
while orienting all the bedrooms towards the north
to avoid the effects of excessive heat and sunlight
from the west.
The west wing features a large aluminum lath wall
designed to minimize solar heat gain. Despite being
an integral component of the interior program, the
laths effectively contribute to the semi-open space
of both the deck and courtyard. The design of the
landscape architecture necessitates a correspondence
with the architectural mass and volume of the
house. The placement of shrubs in rows is intended
to complement the main contours that define the
interior spaces. The woody plants have been strategically
positioned in accordance with the functional
spatial arrangement of the home and the adjacent
swimming pool. The pool is designed to provide
diverse user experiences. The closest part of the
swimming pool is next to the deck. It gives users
a sense of connection with the home. Swimming
towards the southern axis would result in a spatial
transition from the house’s periphery to the vast
expanse of the garden and forestland beyond,
consequently offering one a distinct level of spatial
encounter.

a vernacular architecture
Ph.D. candidate
at Silpakorn University.
His research on
the built environment
of the Malay cultural
landscape is being
done out of a passion
for cultural heritage.
The selection of materials is intended to articulate
an architectural dialogue with local accents. The
combination of local materials, such as wood and
brick, helps preserve rural sentiment within the
context of contemporary architectural design. This
is achieved through the incorporation of various
wall components and the use of tongue and groove
details in the wooden wall frame, which are typical
features of the vernacular architecture of rice barns
in Thailand’s northeastern region, or Isan. The construction
of the wall frames involves the utilization
of steel frames with vertical reinforcement and prefabricated
cladding materials for the exterior walls.
The wall that separates the garage and the interior
walkway is constructed using bricks that feature
apertures, which serve to augment air circulation
and enable a semi-public connection for the area.
The MakMuan House is a noteworthy example of
how architectural design can effectively address
and overcome various limitations and conditions,
including budget constraints, users’ requirements
for safety and comfort, and the desire for a poolvilla-like
experience. Additionally, the design doesn’t
fail to take the project’s surrounding context and
landscape into account. The house’s roof components
were meticulously designed to strike a balance
between fulfilling elemental functions and meeting
the demands of the users, making it an interesting
work of architecture.
“Despite the fact that the project was completed
more than a year ago, the pictures I’ve seen after
the house had been lived in show how the place
remains just the same as when the construction was
finalized. The living spaces look just like when they
were photographed to be featured in an architectural
magazine,” Tawichakorn concluded the architectural
conversations that seem to be continuing at Makmuan
House.
