ASWA (Architectural Studio of Work – Aholic) has completed a nonaligned windows house to capture parts of its context in Bangkok, Thailand. ‘Inthamara house’ is located in a high-density residential area in the center of Bangkok.
Nonaligned openings on the front of the house are intended to capture the dramatic changes of light and shadow through day and season. These openings also capture parts of its context like a picture frame for its residents and still concern their privacy. Because of the context limitation with the apartment building on its side, only these openings on the front facade need to have enough to brighten up the space.
This fourth-story house with a double-height living area on the second floor with nonaligned openings to the street side of the house allows the natural light into the space and intends to capture some contexts for its residents. The first floor has a small gym with a service part of the house. The second floor wants to form a space for living, with the living room, dining room, and kitchen—the main bedroom located on the third floor, which can look to the living area below. Additional two bedrooms are on the fourth floor of this house where you can enjoy the view of the area along the corridor.
