Anonym is a studio based in Bangkok, Thailand and today we’ve discovered one of their amazing projects, a new home for an extended family. The bAAn residence is an almost 5,400 square foot home located on the plot next to the family’s old home.
Its design creatively combines wood, concrete and metal materials in order to create a modern sculptural home that doesn’t create an eyesore in the nature that surrounds it.
The new house for an extended family is located on the same property as the owner’s old home. The two residences stand in a parallel orientation and are separated by a swimming pool, which exists as a part of the original residential program. This communal area also connects, and at the same time contributes, to the visual divide between the two residences.
It lessens the congestion of the program and allows for the family members to see and interact with each other. Surrounded by the green of the trees and garden, the space embraces the succulence from all directions except for the west- facing a wall.
The allocation of restrooms and storage rooms that help to filter the afternoon heat and intentional. Exposed concrete was brought in to reflect the owners/ taste and preference for sleekness and simplicity. Black aluminum panels wrap the exterior wall to maximize privacy while natural light and wind are still allowed to make their presence within the house.
