The Perfume Club is a membership club where you can meet new people and make new social relationships through perfumes run by Soohyang. The building used to be an old perfume factory in Soohyang.

Thai CC Tower Park / Studio NDT

“Gardens of metaphors” – Located within the Central Business District of Bangkok, the Thai Chinese Camber (Thai CC) Tower overlooks a parcel of a green area which is prominently divided into two by the Blue Elephant Cooking School & Restaurant, a heritage building, and vehicular access. By studying the surroundings and space available, a certain similarity is shared with the site and the ancient Chinese communal architecture of “Siheyuan”. The traditional quadrangle compound houses a central courtyard which is surrounded by houses on each side, akin to how the landscape area is flanked by towering buildings and the Surasak Skytrain station on all four sides.

Design Studio Mono is an interior design company that creates a space with a story based on the belief that space changes the stayer’s thoughts and behaviors. We hoped that the new office wanted to be a place where people can think and communicate more freely. For this change, we tried to create a new space containing the value of freedom according to Mono’s design philosophy.

Jin House / Narrative Architects

October 11, 2022 Bianca Valentina Roșescu 0

The house’s site is located as a two-story gable concrete mass in the landscape of suburban dwellings used as a cornfield. The design concept of the house is to make the space experience free without being rigid through the transition of void space and gaze that occur through movements such as fish swimming. The composition of the mass connected to the unfinished concrete surface emphasizes the weight and materiality firmly fixed from the ground, but the space’s twisting and the mass’s removal considering the surrounding landscape and the sun’s direction reveal the firmness and dynamics of the space.

Small Vacation Cottages u Gai / SAN Architektura

October 11, 2022 Bianca Valentina Roșescu 0

The cottages were built on a hill with a beautiful view of the Karkonosze Mountains. The area is rich in flora and fauna. As part of the investment, two summer houses with a total usable area of ​​approximately 80 m2 were designed. In the near future, a third larger building will be built as the next stage of the project – a single-family house for the hosts. During an on-site inspection, it was found that there was a closed quarry near the plot. There was an idea to refer to this unusual neighborhood in the project. The plot is located on a steep slope, so the houses have been arranged in such a way as to give the impression of freely scattered boulders. The buildings resemble hewn cubes.

Chwihoga House / 100A associates

October 9, 2022 Bianca Valentina Roșescu 0

The Temple of Tiger for Recovery, Chwihoga – I have read an article, ‘There is only one place among the infinite points on the earth. Therefore, places have the power to make architecture special’. Most of my own work styles are started with the previously cited article, ‘Places have the power to make architecture special.’ My heart for the land (a specific place) before the construction of Chwihoga was a distant silence, it was the tranquility of silence and no-causality of being stored something that will unexpectedly overthrow my mind and body. My deep impression of the site might be a human response to the ‘vitality of place’ carved deep into the ground, regardless of how much it’s washed.
