A BIT W RESIDENCE

The open courtyard enhances air ventilation and humidity control while adding a green space for broader perspective.

These phrases more or less reflect the identity of A Bit W residence owner who shared with our design team her aspirations for her first home The
property she will call her own, A Bit W residence is built on her family’s 30-year- old land located in the housing estate in a Bangkok suburb, surrounded by a rich neighborhood.

Its form consists of basic geometric features, all contributing to different uses of the house, and is stripped of any ornamentation The simple structure is made of multiple planes, each having a different width in relation to the structural load and function for instance, the stair flight is constructed out of thin steel plates to carry the daily load, while the majority of the walls are thick in order to prevent heat from the outside
