ASWA (Architectural Studio of Work - Aholic) realized a studio with a collaged metal mesh façade for TA-THA-TA, a functional but playful Thai brand bag, in Bangkok, Thailand. The project holds 120 m2 with 3.5 floors, where stocks occupy the first floor. The second floor was used for assembling, and a studio was located on the third floor with a mezzanine level for rest space.
The small and narrow site has an existing big tree in the front of the property that contributes shading and an excellent view for the studio. With a 4-meter width, the studio with a high gable roof tends to deflect the sun heat and provides extra and relaxed space for the studio. Due to the limitation, a toilet is located in the middle of a stairway to allow natural ventilation for every floor.
Variation of metal meshes was selected as the primary material for a collaged façade which refers to TA-THA-TA’s identity, a collaborative design between architect and client. By providing a pattern outline, the architect and client selected a mesh pattern to complete a procedure. A full-height window behind the façade of the studio and assembly area overlooks a variation pattern and serenity of a big tree. For interior decoration, ASWA provides space and materials finished and furniture completed by TA-THA-TA to showcase their genuine identity.
