Infinity Ground : Thailand and Taiwan Contemporary Architecture

The main gathering space of the resort is the
restaurant, cafe, and bar. The architecture is
a casual fabric structure with multiple pitched
rooflines referencing yet modernizing vernacular
village skyline. Its open-air atmosphere captures
the sense of a tropical architecture. The entire
space is looking out to the river and the seating
flow to the outdoor, cascading down to connect
with the Chao Phraya River. The finishing of
the restaurant is predominantly brick, reminiscent
of the traces of the old Ayutthaya. Yet the
construction of the brick is surprisingly
weightless, almost as if the bricks are floating
in mid-air, a contemporary tectonic twist of
the age-old traditional material.
The overall atmosphere of the resort can be
defined as simple, casual, relaxing and connecting
to the life of the river. It is a contemporary
space with materiality touch of sheer
fabric, bricks, natural woods, and wickerwork
as a linkage to Ayutthaya locality and its
craftsmanship.
