"Breathing new life into a 20-year-old house with modern aesthetics and enhanced functionality for contemporary family living."
PH59 represents a comprehensive renovation of a 20-year-old two-story residence that required modernization to meet contemporary living standards. The original compartmentalized layout was completely reimagined to create fluid connections between spaces while maintaining functional clarity.
The design strategy separates the ground floor as a public zone, housing the living room, kitchen, and dining areas, while the upper floor provides private sanctuary for family members. A key architectural intervention is the introduction of a central void connecting both levels, promoting natural ventilation and reducing heat buildup typical in Bangkok's climate.
Large windows and glass doors opening to a compact garden courtyard blur the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces, flooding rooms with natural light throughout the day. The material palette of white surfaces and light wood, combined with contemporary furnishings, creates an atmosphere of spaciousness and modern comfort.
The renovation demonstrates how thoughtful spatial reorganization and strategic openings can transform an aging house into a bright, airy home that supports contemporary Thai family life while respecting the existing structure's potential.
