"Transform a 5-story townhouse at Sukhumvit 61 into a modern, open living space for an extended family."
SK61 is a thoughtfully renovated 5-story townhouse in Sukhumvit 61 for an extended family who needed their home to better accommodate multi-generational living. With members ranging from elderly grandparents to working parents and growing children, the family required a modern renovation that maintains domestic warmth.
The ground floor was redesigned as the communal core, featuring a parking area, living and reception space, expanded kitchen, dining area, and a central courtyard serving as a shared relaxation zone. The upper levels now house four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a family living area, and a multipurpose room.
The renovation's centerpiece is the creation of two dramatic vertical voids: a courtyard extending from ground to top floor and a double-height living space on the second floor. These architectural interventions flood the interior with natural light and enhance ventilation, creating an open, breathable environment that fosters connection between family members.
Natural materials like wood and stone combined with soft, neutral tones create a warm, relaxing atmosphere throughout. SK61 successfully demonstrates how contemporary renovation can address the needs of multi-generational living while creating modern, functional spaces.
