FN House / Anonym

Miwa Negoro — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Located in a dense residential district of Bangkok, Prachauthit Road, FN House reveals a bold, massive front yet humbly connects with the neighborhood through its materials. The rigid stacking geometric form on the exterior gives bold and noticeable visuals, whilst inside the house is activated by the factor of contrast of its form by having a curved mezzanine balcony as a surprise architectural element. Together with using light tone materials, this creates a pleasant ambience for the premises to blend with the natural existing and surrounding context.

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 13 Apr 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Bangsue Residence exemplifies an architectural vision that transcends spatial organization, embracing the challenge of creating a home for a three-generation family. The design moves beyond mere room allocation, striking a delicate balance between togetherness and individual privacy—ensuring the house truly becomes "the home for everyone."

Sailom House / Anonym

Miwa Negoro — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Sailom House is a four-story home that accommodates members from three families. Anonym designs the inside to look and feel like a service apartment with functional spaces that each family member can use freely and separately on each floor. The first floor consists of common areas such as the living room and kitchen, while the upper floors house bedrooms, more living areas, and small pantries. Every story is linked together via two internal courtyards that open up into the void, running from the ground to the fourth floor.

Miwa Negoro — Tue, 31 Mar 2026 19:00:00 +0000

The design of this mixed-use private residential project is influenced by the owners' lives, which have revolved around China since their teenage years. It also responds to their request for an architectural approach that showcases exposed structures, materials, and building systems.

Heritage in Motion: Bangkok’s Buildings That Continue to Become

Jonathan Yeung — Sun, 15 Feb 2026 07:30:00 +0000

Architectural heritage is not only what a building was, but what it continues to become: a long process of building, rebuilding, and re-occupying over time. Where opportunities allow, this continuity produces a layered condition—one in which visitors can witness, experience, and feel the gradual shifting of a building's fabric, materiality, spatial order, and patterns of use, and occasionally even participate in that transformation.

Heritage Transformations, New Capital Cities, and Residential Innovations: This Week’s Review

Antonia Piñeiro — Thu, 12 Feb 2026 05:30:00 +0000

This week's news landscape brought together diverse approaches to built and cultural heritage, ranging from the design of a Museum of Jesus' Baptism at a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Jordan to major transformations of modern industrial sites and the development of major cultural districts. The World Monuments Fund's support for 21 locally led heritage projects foregrounds conservation strategies that reinforce the role of architecture in safeguarding both material and intangible heritage. Across this week's highlighted projects, adaptive reuse, landscape integration, and the reconfiguration of civic space emerge as recurrent strategies for extending the life and relevance of existing built environments. The projects also reflect broader contemporary concerns, including material research in timber construction, zero-waste urban installations, large-scale residential efficiency, and infrastructure upgrades linked to global events like the Olympic Games. Framing these developments within a wider territorial perspective, discussions on relocating capital cities worldwide offer an example of how geopolitical discourses continue to shape architecture, revealing the evolving relationship between the built environment and structures of power over time.

Axis of Growth House / Elemental Living

Miwa Negoro — Wed, 11 Feb 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Text description provided by the architects. This house was designed and built on the same plot of land as the extended family's residence to provide privacy for a new family unit. Beyond aligning the building with natural sunlight and wind directions, the form of the house emerged as a direct response to the unique conditions of the site. By tilting the building along the land boundary, we maximized usable space while introducing a courtyard that not only enhances functionality but also captures the prevailing southwest wind. This design transforms the courtyard into a natural ventilation gateway that allows airflow throughout the day.

Terrarium House / Unknown Surface Studio

Miwa Negoro — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 06:00:00 +0000

Amidst the restless energy of Bangkok's Ladprao district, Terrarium House sits quietly on a unique, ladle-shaped plot. With a narrow three-meter access road leading to a square site hemmed in by neighbors on all four sides, the land initially seemed landlocked. However, the design turns this constraint into its greatest asset, flipping the perspective to create an inward-looking sanctuary—a private world entirely detached from the chaos outside.

Verdure Villa / Vessu Collaboration

Miwa Negoro — Wed, 17 Dec 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Verdure Villa sits quietly in the heart of busy Bangkok, surrounded by a dense concrete landscape yet intentionally crafted as a serene retreat where nature and spirit take precedence over the chaos of the city. The design began with a simple question: How can a family home in Bangkok feel like a sanctuary? This guiding idea shaped every move—from orientation to materiality—resulting in a house that offers greenery, calm, and moments of introspection within an otherwise intense urban setting.

Cloud 11 Creative Park / Snøhetta

Pilar Caballero — Wed, 03 Dec 2025 03:00:00 +0000

With a civic landscape doubling as ecological infrastructure, the 250,000 m² mixed-use urban regeneration project sets a precedent for future climate adaptation in Southeast Asian cities. Snøhetta, in collaboration with A49 Architects, has unveiled its most extensive urban regeneration project in Asia for Magnolia Quality Development Corporation (MQDC). Located in the South Sukhumvit — one of Bangkok's most vibrant cultural and innovation hubs — Cloud 11 is a mixed-use development defined by a central courtyard that serves as both ecological infrastructure and cultural park. The design harnesses the power of landscape to create an urban oasis that champions environmental resilience and community wellbeing. Rooted in its surrounding context, the project is inspired by the layered conditions of Bangkok's shophouse streets, elevated sky train lines, and emerging high-rise towers. By sculpting the architecture from the space between these layers, Cloud 11 forms a new "in-between" realm. The result is a generous public landscape that bridges scales, reconnecting the neighborhoods, offering a vibrant civic space for all.

OngAng 3D Concrete Printing Bridge / CPAC CS

Miwa Negoro — Fri, 28 Nov 2025 19:00:00 +0000

The Ong Ang Canal Bridge transforms a historic waterway into a piece of contemporary urban infrastructure that connects heritage and innovation. Flowing through the historic core of Bangkok, the Ong Ang Canal once served as the city's defensive moat and later became a thriving artery of trade and daily life. Over centuries, this waterway has shaped the rhythm of the communities along its banks. The new pedestrian bridge reinterprets that living heritage through the language of water itself, capturing the canal's continuous motion in architectural form.

The residence includes a music rehearsal room and fitness area, without additional specialized functions.

Suan San Pocket Park / Shma Company Limited

Miwa Negoro — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 02:00:00 +0000

Bangkok faces a significant challenge in providing adequate green space for its residents. With a mere 7.49 square meters of green space per person, the city falls well below the World Health Organization's recommended standard of 9 square meters. Recognizing this urgent need, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has set an ambitious goal: to increase the per capita green space to 10 square meters by 2030.

Akamori Restaurant / TOUCH Architect

Miwa Negoro — Sun, 14 Sep 2025 17:00:00 +0000

Located in a visually cluttered urban setting, Akamori is conceived as a calm, enclosed mass that turns inward to create its own atmosphere. The building's form is deliberately simple, a dark grey box clad in textured exposed aggregate, and is designed to screen out the unappealing context while focusing all attention inward.
