While working from home during the pandemic has kept people from seeing each other physically, Chatpong Chuenruedeemon of CHAT Architects sees an upside of the situation in the more relaxing atmosphere that a work-from-home experience is able to bring. He adapts this particular ‘pro’ into the design of the façade of his own office, creating a workplace that is similar to a private home but with the ability to accommodate different work-related activities and behaviors.

>To create a relaxing workplace with a design gimmick, Chatpong chooses C-Channel Plus model from SCG D’COR that offers durability, and easy and speedy installation for the façade. The material can render a visually pleasing and relaxing wall masses, while functionally, it can be used as shelves as well as a railing that can support pipes of the installed system works.

Another equally interesting detail is how Bangkok’s idiosyncratic characteristic is presented through the use of SCG D’COR Fretwork , which comes with varied customizability that can materialize every imaginable patterns designers may have. I went with the gecko pattern and another graphic pattern inspired by the pillars of Bangkok’s expressways.
