Townhouses with Private Courtyards

Text description provided by architect.

After decades of development, many townhouses, especially in Bangkok, have turned, unintentionally, to dark and air-con ventilated box-type buildings.

This internal courtyard provides natural light & ventilation, green and relaxing space while maintaining privacy for inhabitants.

Internal balconies and key functions are placed and stacked next to the courtyard with a semi outdoor bridge linked these functions together.

The front facade is series of random brick walls which designed as vertical fins shading double height living area from late morning glare and heat. Cantilevered planter boxes protruding from the facade add a touch of nature for both neighbourhood and residences.
