WHY Because…. We design with contextual story in mind, in any project category and scale. Each Project has its own identity driven by the individuality of each unique context.
Context Studio is passionate and dedicated to transforming the visions of our clients into reality, taking into account the unique context of each situation. Context can be anything from the nature, history, surrounding environment of a site, the personality of the client, or the concept, mood and tone of a brand. Subtle yet impactful use of natural materials is present in each and every Context project. We strive to create harmony felt by every senses in each of our design and space created, combining functionality with the “unique original experience” of each context.

STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF PHETCHABURI PROVINCE’S KAENG KRACHAN DISTRICT’S RICH NATURAL SURROUNDING OF FOREST AND FLORA IS ‘KAENG KRACHAN LIBRARY’ THAT HAS JUNSEKINO ARCHITECT AND DESIGN OVERSEEING THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN Read More
Cherng Talay is a small district located to the west of Phuket Island, en route between the Phuket International Airport and the city center. The area houses a number of beaches and natural travelling destinations. Still fairly a quiet beach town, the place is home to accommodations that welcomes foreign travellers, especially families who are on a long-stay vacation. The owner of the project had the idea of developing this particular piece of land into an open air lifestyle retail, which will serve as a new lifestyle hub in Phuket.
The core concept of the design put an emphasis on facilitating user experience that engages and embraces the external natural surroundings. The idea leads to the allocation of buildings as a part of the site’s existing trees. The form of waves is simplified into an architectural structure and interior space with details of the openings that take the inspiration from the architectural proportions of Chino-Portuguese buildings in Phuket’s Old Town. The 8 structures are comprised of the main buildings, five of them are retail spaces which are up for lease, and 3 other smaller structures and service buildings. Derived from the simplified shape of awave, the roofing structures of the buildings are designed to overlap, resulting in the interesting spatial characteristic of the interior space as well as the ample presence of natural light.
The spacious wooden terrace runs around each built structure, serving as a semi-outdoor area that physically links the buildings to the exterior garden. An interior court is added to the functional program to bring in natural light to the retail spaces with the use of transparent glass for the walls that are not exposed to sunlight, collectively maximizing the spatial flow between the interior and exterior spaces.
The end walls are mostly dense, rigid masses that prevent the heat from the sun to radiate from the east and the west. These walls are claded with concrete blocks, constructed in a pattern similar to that of the roof structure, adding an interesting decorative element to the buildings.
The materials used for the architectural structures are mostly simple materials. The architect uses corrugated cement sheets as the roofing material for their simplistic aesthetic details, visually soothing color and low price. Instead of real wood, wood-patterned tiles are used for the floor of the outdoor terrace due to the convenience in its maintenance. Concrete blocks with triangular sections isthe chosen material for the end walls, constructed in a pattern that physically mimicsthe shape of the roof. The material is used, not only for its affordable price, but also for the fact that it can be prefabricated in the desired module with the color and texture which are aesthetically pleasing and blend nicely with the roofing material without the need for additional finishes such as coating or painting.
