Multi-Generational Family Home in Bangkok Turned into a Chic Salon

ByMyProperty Life

We often see old industrial and commercial buildings being turned into modern homes as part of adaptive reuse of structures. Sometimes this extends to old churches and castles being turned into contemporary buildings as well! But this salon in Bangkok goes down the opposite path as it was once a two-storey, multi-generational home that now serves customers gleefully! Rikyu by boy Tokyo revamped and given a whole new look by Bangkok Tokyo Architecture looks truly captivating with an all-white interior that makes it a perfect, inviting and sophisticated modern salon.

Old house revamped into a modern salon in Bangkok

The new interior is a perfect blend of aesthetics and ergonomics with the old structure being cleverly modified across its two levels to serve the salon needs. By creating a monochromatic backdrop in white and using décor largely in the same color, the salon feels much more spacious and ‘posh’ than otherwise. Glass walls not only connect it with the gorgeous green garden outside but also provide visual connectivity between different areas and allow for flow of light. A revamped entry, relocated windows and doors and repainted ceilings complete a fabulous and striking makeover that leaves guests awestruck the moment they step in!

Through the gaps between the roof and walls, plenty of natural light reflects off the floor and mirrors into the space within. Old, new and relocated windows from the previous salon juxtapose into various shapes of framed greenery. The one-room yet complex interior space is defined by diversified atmospheres and function.

  • Collingwood Residence

    Situated on Bowen Island’s West Coast, the Collingwood Residence is located on a private 10 acre lot surrounded by forest. The home is divided into three buildings, connected by the glass breezeways, as an intentional separation of public and private spaces. The breezeways which separate the buildings afford views to the ocean as you approach the house. Social experiences are centered around the open kitchen, dining, and living space located in the central building, while the master and guest suites are located in the buildings to either side. Floor to ceiling sliding glass doors in the kitchen and dining spaces can be opened to extend the living space outdoors to the covered patio with views to the ocean. The local material selection is reflective of the home’s west coast setting: cedar shingles clad the exterior, while the natural stone grounds the home firmly on its site. The large cantilevered dual-pitch roofs with cedar soffits and exposed structure, reflect the traditional forms of the remote cabin, while they are given a contemporary feel with crisply detailed zinc fascias. The building is highly insulated and airtight to limit the need for energy usage throughout the year. Appliances were carefully selected for energy efficiency and low water consumption. Large low-e coated windows and overhangs are sited to maximize solar gain in the winter months whilst preventing overheating in the summer.
