The client required a house of their own, as well as 4 others to rent out, on a long rectangular site in central Bangkok. Space Architects’ strategy was to position the main residence at one end of the plot whilst dividing the remaining rectangle of the site into a 3x3 grid of 9 equal blocks. In peeling away a cruciform arrangement of 5 blocks within this grid , the rental units were placed at the 4 corners, which allowed green space to be revealed at the heart of the development. This created a central vista of open but private garden space (intersected by a lap pool) that could be enjoyed from the main house as well as by each of the rental units themselves.
