The Altered Building with Local Elements and Preserves as much of The Characteristics of Its Surroundings as Possible

The main concept for the project is to create a new home for the architect’s practice. The building will be integrated into the urban tissue of Talad Noi, a heritage district part of the old town, and the staf will likewise assimilate with the local community. The spatial translation process, from the brief set through to the physical realisation, became the main concept and driving force for the project. The design infuses the altered building with local elements and preserves as much of the characteristics of its surroundings as possible, whilst catering to the needs of the practice. 

The office has a variety of spaces that can accommodate various uses with easy alteration. The 4th, 5th and 6th floors are currently occupied, and can be expanded downwards with relative ease to further occupy the 2nd, 3rd, and the entire building. Also, should the retail tenant wish to expand upwards, more spaces occupied by the practice could be traded over.
