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.

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.

    An entrepreneur and family with a passion for healthy living requested a large home on their dramatically sloping 2-acre site. They specifically wanted an informal layout that could be woven into the topography of the property. Wanting to enjoy as much of the site as possible, the client requested the inclusion of steps and landscape pathways to allow for access to more distant parts of the steep site. Situated on a promontory jutting into the canyon below, the hillside retreat boasts multiple vistas of the surrounding canyon and the Pacific Ocean beyond. Since covenants, conditions, and restrictions associated with the property allowed for only a single story above street level, many of the home’s rooms are located on a lower level which daylights onto the downslope side of the house. This modest massing arrangement allows for neighboring properties to see over the roof of the home. In three distinct locations, landscaped topography “fingers” heighten one’s awareness of the natural hillside. Bridges span over these fingers, enhancing and extending the natural graded areas deep into the heart of the home. The design solution offers new perspectives for experiencing the owner’s prized views while providing a glimpse of the topography as it stood before the house was set upon it. Meticulous craftsmanship and authentic building materials are recurring themes best exemplified by the widespread use of board-formed concrete walls, white oak shiplap wall cladding, and painted galvanized steel doors and windows. A datum of wall elevations was carefully laid out to align the joints of the seemingly random board-formed concrete with the adjacent wood boards that come in 3″, 4″, 5″, and 6″ widths. Floors, ceilings, steps, lighting, speakers, keypad controls, and outlets were all carefully placed so that no element ever interrupts a joint in the boards.
