CHON

2022

CHON is a two-story retirement house located in Phanat Nikhom, Chonburi, planned to embrace tropical architecture while meeting the specific needs of elderly residents. Spanning 130 square meters, the home prioritizes thermal comfort and functionality. Large openings on all sides ensure natural airflow, while high ceilings under a gable roof enhance ventilation, maintaining a cool interior without air conditioning. Natural materials such as wood for interiors and stone for the exterior create a measured connection with the surrounding environment, further reducing heat and enhancing comfort.

CHON

At its essence, this is a retirement house in Chonburi where tropical ventilation, elderly-friendly details, and natural materials shape everyday comfort. The execution relies on precise interventions: openings on all sides encourage natural airflow through the house.

A One-Storey Home For Slower Living
"A One-Storey Home For Slower Living" is the closing idea for CHON. It brings the project back to two design moves: how openings on all sides encourage natural airflow through the house and how wood and stone reduce the sense of heat while keeping the home grounded.
