<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 10pt;">(For Thai, press <a href="https://art4d.com/2022/10/nextech-office">here</a>)</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">In most cases, corporate design only entails the functions of a workstation and circulation. Having realized that, Skarn Chaiyawat Architects consisting of Skarn Chaiyawat, Krit Chatikavanij and Supakorn Chantakitwattana decided to put details as the main focus of&nbsp; nextech&#8217;s office.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-69821 aligncenter" src="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/NEXT-1.jpg" alt="" width="2000" height="1333" srcset="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/NEXT-1.jpg 2000w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/NEXT-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/NEXT-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/NEXT-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/NEXT-1-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/NEXT-1-660x440.jpg 660w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/NEXT-1-373x248.jpg 373w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/NEXT-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/NEXT-1-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/NEXT-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/NEXT-1-620x413.jpg 620w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/NEXT-1-400x267.jpg 400w" sizes="(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px" /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">The building&#8217;s architectural characteristics stem from a rather straightforward origin. Following the requirement to maximize functional spaces on the relatively small 392 square meter plot of land, the design team designs the office building into a 15-meter-tall structure. The key component is dense walls, which allows the building to be constructed within the legally&nbsp; permitted setback range. The building&#8217;s five stories are divided into two sections: the core, which contains the elevator, staircase, and service spaces, and the office space. The conference room with multiple functions is located on the second floor whereas the company’s primary office space is located on the third level. Executive offices and the financial department are located on the fourth story. On the fifth story is the office of the daughter of the project&#8217;s owner. Everything adds up to 450 square meters of total functional space.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">nextech is an IT corporation in the process of transforming into a fully digitally operated enterprise. The company employs outsourced individuals who work mostly from home, and the absence of a server room is made possible by data storage on cloud servers. The company is preparing for a future in which the interior office spaces will be rented to interested tenants in light of the dwindling availability and demand of physical workspaces. This section of the building becomes a prerequisite for the design to create not only the office used by nextech for the time being, but also spaces for rent with sufficient freedom and flexibility to accommodate future tenants.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">Regarding the building&#8217;s functions and simple origin, the architect elaborates, &#8220;The small details in the space contribute to people&#8217;s impression of architecture, even if they are uncertain where this experience originates.&#8221; As one exits the elevator, they are greeted by a room that is brilliantly lit by light and shadow, whose interactions with the space vary with time and small alternate openings between the office and the building&#8217;s core section. These different openings also allow natural wind and light to enter the building, while maintaining the visual comfort and connectivity of the space so that users feel less constrained and may communicate between floors.</span></p>

    </div>
</div>
<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">The office space is distinguished by the use of materials that filter the sun from both the front and the back of the building. Due to its location on the relatively narrow, 5.40-meter-wide Soi Punnawithi alley, the building cannot escape confronting the apartment building across the street. The rear of the structure, however, is surrounded by a view of the trees growing in the nearby green space. U Glass is therefore selected for the building&#8217;s facade. The uneven texture produces an impressionable image for the building while functionally obscuring the apartment building&#8217;s presence from view. The material also increases the space&#8217;s sense of privacy and imparts a distinct personality. Through openings and terraces, the architect allows the building to take in the surrounding verdant landscape at its rear with the installation of stainless steel shutters on the façade to filter sunlight.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">The office space zone is intended to be a blank canvas ready to be filled with various functions. Half of the areas on the second and fourth floors are double-volume spaces created by removing the ceiling, with system components neatly concealed. Track lighting is utilized because it does not require an elaborate system to be mounted above the ceiling. The loose furniture is intended to fit perfectly into the cabinet in the center of the room. The air conditioning system is installed within these cabinets, with all of the system&#8217;s components securely concealed in the back.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">The layout, materials, and organization of system work create an office building with fully equipped fundamental functions that are capable of handling future changes and the emotional element that will be brought about by future tenants. Just like what the architect had intended, every detail is collectively and thoughtfully designed to create a building with a very high-quality corporate space.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 10pt;">(For Thai, press <a href="https://art4d.com/2022/07/folly-in-the-forest">here</a>)&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">‘Folly’ is the term used to refer to a building with no special functions in a landscape, but is created solely to complete the aesthetic of the green space of which it is a part. ‘Folly in the forest’ by Bangkok Tokyo Architecture (BTA) is realized to bring an interesting addition to the landscape’s aesthetic with its minimalistic presence, which does not only integrate itself as a part of the surrounding forestland, but also brings a lively and upbeat dynamic to the space.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">Folly in the forest is a multipurpose building situated in a small plantation forest in Sansai district, a residential neighborhood in Chiang mai, Thailand. The building is born out of an idea the landowner had to create a meeting place for people in the community after the land had been left deserted and unused. BTA is assigned to come up with a building that can accommodate different activities of the potential users, from the area’s residents to passerby and outside visitors.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: sarabun-regular; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-66384 aligncenter" src="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/13_FAR_low-res.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1125" srcset="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/13_FAR_low-res.jpg 1500w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/13_FAR_low-res-300x225.jpg 300w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/13_FAR_low-res-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/13_FAR_low-res-1000x750.jpg 1000w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/13_FAR_low-res-600x450.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" /></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">“The client wants to turn this unused land into a useful area; a communal space with activities that people in the community can participate and enjoy. At the moment, the space is hosting a weekend market while on weekdays, the building serves as a pavilion for everyone to lounge around and relax. But since this project isn’t intended to function as a long-term structure, we have to design a building that is temporary in nature and has the functionalities that can be adapted in case there are changes to me made in the future,’ said Wtanya Chanvitan, an architect of BTA.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: sarabun-regular; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-66379 aligncenter" src="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/08_FRONT_CLOSE_low-res.jpg" alt="" width="1125" height="1500" srcset="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/08_FRONT_CLOSE_low-res.jpg 1125w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/08_FRONT_CLOSE_low-res-225x300.jpg 225w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/08_FRONT_CLOSE_low-res-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/08_FRONT_CLOSE_low-res-1000x1333.jpg 1000w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/08_FRONT_CLOSE_low-res-600x800.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px" /></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">Folly in the forest looks like a moderate-sized shed with a humble appearance. The slant roof inclines from one side at the height of 3 meters to the other side at the height of only 1.7 meters, which automatically makes it necessary for taller people to lower their heads in order to go through. Inside, the building houses a series of round metal columns standing in an organized arrangement, along with metal pipes installed in cross pattern functioning as the partitions. Below, rectangular slabs are slightly elevated in the designed clusters. Wtanya explains the backstory of these components and how they are included to the program to encourage people to interpret and use the space in their own ways, corresponding with the building’s ‘multipurpose’ objective.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: sarabun-regular; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-66377 aligncenter" src="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/06_CLOSEUP_1_low-res.jpg" alt="" width="1125" height="1500" srcset="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/06_CLOSEUP_1_low-res.jpg 1125w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/06_CLOSEUP_1_low-res-225x300.jpg 225w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/06_CLOSEUP_1_low-res-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/06_CLOSEUP_1_low-res-1000x1333.jpg 1000w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/06_CLOSEUP_1_low-res-600x800.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px" /></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">“We have installed the interior elements randomly so the building doesn’t have specific entries and egresses, which mean people can enter and exit in any direction. The elevated floor slabs are open to users’ different interpretations. They can be the lots where shops are set up during the weekends when the market is open or a lounging area on other occasions. The slope of the roof creates an interior space with varying heights. Everything is thought of as an attempt to create an environment that is diverse and interpretable through the minimal nature of the design. It’s like when there’s only one tree in a garden, people react to it differently. Some people sit underneath, some bring a chair to sit on, some lay out a mat. We approached the design with this being the main idea.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: sarabun-regular; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-66374 aligncenter" src="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/03_TREE_low-res.jpg" alt="" width="1125" height="1500" srcset="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/03_TREE_low-res.jpg 1125w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/03_TREE_low-res-225x300.jpg 225w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/03_TREE_low-res-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/03_TREE_low-res-1000x1333.jpg 1000w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/03_TREE_low-res-600x800.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px" /></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">The building blends in nicely with the nature with the slender metal&nbsp;poles that disappear into the presence of trees in the surroundings, and a roof that looks like it was completely covered with dried leaves. The roofing material is actually made of dried Tong Tueng leaves fallen from the trees of the same name. This particular species of tree can be found growing in the north and northeastern region of Thailand while its leaves have long been used as a roofing material by people in these parts of the country. BTA employs the local wisdom to the roofing of their ‘folly’ using a construction technique that is similar to a traditional method with the only differences being the use of leakage prevention material and the installation of bamboo stems in calculated ranges to help enhance the roof’s drainage system. BTA adds another detail to the local wisdom by placing stones found in the site on the leaves to seal the edges and prevent water leakage instead of using woven bamboo to cover the top, which is how the roof is traditionally made.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">“If we used the bamboo with the roof, the structure would immediately be perceived as a building and we didn’t want that. We want the building to be just this scenery in the landscape,” explained Wtanya about the reason behind the decision to use of stone instead of bamboo.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: sarabun-regular; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-66378 aligncenter" src="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/07_CLOSEUP_2_low-res.jpg" alt="" width="1125" height="1500" srcset="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/07_CLOSEUP_2_low-res.jpg 1125w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/07_CLOSEUP_2_low-res-225x300.jpg 225w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/07_CLOSEUP_2_low-res-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/07_CLOSEUP_2_low-res-1000x1333.jpg 1000w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/07_CLOSEUP_2_low-res-600x800.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px" /></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">The traces of the way the structure is simplified and made less noticeable can be found at the joineries of the round metal columns, in which BTA designs to be joined together using screws instead of pipe clamps. Wtanya explains that by using screws, the pipes appear to be separated from each other, consequently accentuating the sentiment that the building is made up of small miscellaneous components, not a large, systematically constructed structure. With these details, the building seems light and delicate, existing as a part of the shades and leaves of the trees.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: sarabun-regular; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-66383 aligncenter" src="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/12_JOINTS_low-res.jpg" alt="" width="1125" height="1500" srcset="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/12_JOINTS_low-res.jpg 1125w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/12_JOINTS_low-res-225x300.jpg 225w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/12_JOINTS_low-res-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/12_JOINTS_low-res-1000x1333.jpg 1000w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/12_JOINTS_low-res-600x800.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px" /></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">What BTA creates is a structure with an ambiguous identity and language. Instead of using natural materials with the building’s structure for the entire piece to blend in with the leafy roof and green surroundings, the architect’s use of an industrial material such as galvanized columns end up turning ‘folly’ into a building with a mixture of vernacular and universal accents. The design gets people thinking about whether ‘folly’ is or isn’t a part of its natural surroundings.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: sarabun-regular; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-66385 aligncenter" src="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/14_NIGHT_1_low-res.jpg" alt="" width="1500" height="1125" srcset="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/14_NIGHT_1_low-res.jpg 1500w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/14_NIGHT_1_low-res-300x225.jpg 300w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/14_NIGHT_1_low-res-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/14_NIGHT_1_low-res-1000x750.jpg 1000w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/14_NIGHT_1_low-res-600x450.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px" /></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">From a desert piece of land, the arrival of Folly in the Forest, in Wtanya’s view, has brought new appeals and functionalities to the space. The obscured and unidentified identity of the structure originates dialogues and interpretations about what ‘folly’ really is and how it can be used. What ensue are the livelier spirit and fresher perception of the building and the plantation forest.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: sarabun-regular; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-66376 aligncenter" src="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/05_CLOSEUP_3_low-res.jpg" alt="" width="1125" height="1500" srcset="https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/05_CLOSEUP_3_low-res.jpg 1125w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/05_CLOSEUP_3_low-res-225x300.jpg 225w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/05_CLOSEUP_3_low-res-768x1024.jpg 768w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/05_CLOSEUP_3_low-res-1000x1333.jpg 1000w, https://art4d.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/05_CLOSEUP_3_low-res-600x800.jpg 600w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1125px) 100vw, 1125px" /></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: rm-regular; font-size: 12pt;">“Building a work of architecture inside the space is a better alternative to leaving the landscape deserted and unused because it brings people in to see and use the land,’ Wtanya remarks. “We believe that a good work of architecture should create new possibilities to a space and encourage and inspire people to develop new perceptions toward the space itself.”</span></p>
