Phra Pradeang Housde is Designed by Using a Permeable Facade Composed of Concrete Blocks in a Criss-Crossed Pattern
Arranged as a series of layers, this house is designed by using a permeable facade composed of concrete blocks in a criss-crossed pattern.
Facade Detail
The monochormatic concrete block facade allows for various levels of privacy and interaction with its surroundings
The Phra Pradeang House is situated in an old small community, where the scale of living and building is very tiny compared to contemporary living standards. Within these small streets, the neighbourhood is however slowly transforming, with new, bigger buildings.
Filtered sunlight provide intricate details into the minimalist interiors
The project is an attempt to utilise a small plot of land within this community to maximise its value, whilst creating a conversation with its surroundings. Activities are arranged around the central well modelled after tropical shophouses of Southeast Asia, to allow natural ventilation and gentle sunlight to reach every single room.
The facade that wraps around the perimeter is composed of concrete blocks and were specially designed to allow the house to be able to intereact with adjacent sites at various levels and degrees of privacy. Working closely with a local concrete block manufacturer, the resulting facade is a refreshing and sophisticated update of what is vernacular material.
