S40 Residence

Project Type : Residential

Location : Bangkok, Thailand

Status : Completed

Dubbed “A Home Within a House”, S40 Residence is a renovation of one entire level within a larger multi-generational residence for a young couple in Bangkok.

Balancing privacy and connection to the rest of the family, a series of “soft boundaries”—wood louvers, sliding glass partitions, hidden entrances—are devised to demarcate areas of varying degrees of separation while maintaining some flexibility.

Using muted palettes, the interplay of textures helps shape distinct atmospheres, from the cave-like sensation in the library, to the warmth of the living area, to the openness of the workroom. Though largely restrained in approach, the house reveals its whimsical details at different scales—the dash of color from the hand-plastered wall in the hidden powder room, the custom brass pendants adorning the wooden dining area, or the folded metal cabinet handles shaped to resemble classic leather pulls.
