Sala Areeya, 2017
During my time at CHAT Architects from 2013 to 2015, I was part of the team that designed and developed the Sala Areeya, a house located in Sammakorn Village, Bangkok. This spacious home was built to accommodate a family of five and features two separate wings of indoor living space. The central area between the wings was designed for group activities such as dining, parties, relaxation, and even Yoga sessions. To add a unique touch, we used bricks to create textured walls that resemble a painted canvas and contribute to the overall cosy ambience of the house.
