Dubbed “A Home Within a House”, S40 Residence is a renovation of one entire level within a larger multi-generational residence for a young couple in Bangkok.

To balance privacy and connection the larger family, a new foyer is inserted by the main stairs to help organize the program layout. Certain spaces can be closed from access while having guests and that the most private areas are hidden from view and still functional to the client. A series of “soft boundaries” are used to demarcate areas of varying degrees of separation in the main living area while maintaining some flexibility. These included wood louvers, curtains, and sliding glass partitions.

Using muted palettes, the interplay of textures form distinct atmospheres, from the cave-like sensation in the library, to the warmth of the living area, to the openness of the workroom. Though largely restrained in approach, the house reveals its whimsical details at different scales—the dash of color from the hand-plastered wall in the hidden powder room, the custom brass pendants adorning the wooden dining area, or the folded metal cabinet handles shaped to resemble classic leather pulls.
