A home used to be one’s safe space but the pandemic has turn humans’ living spaces into one of the most dangerous places. Yarinda Boon-nag of Imaginary Objects designs a new spatial typology for House/Residence for extended families with vertical living spaces, a future living trend where people relocate to a more urbanized area with higher population density.

Yarinda intends for House/Residence to grant users mental and physical security and comfort by interweaving a common space such as terrace or walkway to the a private living space, creating an open-air area in a house with nice natural ventilation to diminish enclosure and reduce the risk of transmitting infectious disease. In the meantime, the private living spaces are designed to welcome natural airflow with the façade functioning as the key sun and rain protection component.

The material chosen for the facade is SCG D’COR X Litewood by Fameline model due to the durability that can withstand Thailand’s intense climate with details of coating and wooden patterns that make the design feel more welcoming and friendlier.
