“我决定要有自己的房子，但我不想和自己的家人分开住。如果有机会，我愿意尽可能地与父母保持亲密关系；不过，我希望有自己的空间，在那里我可以展示我的兴趣“。

“I have decided to have my own house but I don’t want to live separately from my own family. If there is a chance, I would love to stay close with my parents as much as possible; nevertheless, I would like to have my own space where I can reveal my interest”.

根据曼谷这样的大城市的扩张，在以前的土地上建造一座房子成为一种很好的选择。此外，这也回应了那些想要作为一个大家庭集体生活，但仍然希望有自己的空间的人的要求，换句话说，这可以称为在同一空间内扩大家庭。为了开始一个新的家庭，一个人可能需要的房子看起来与前一个不同。这座新房子是用白色灰泥和钢结构建造的。而且，这座新房子的式样也不一样。

According to the expansion of the big city like Bangkok, building a house on the former land becomes one of the good alternatives. Moreover, this also responds to the demand of the people who want to live collectively as a big family but still prefer to have their personal space; in the other words, this can be called the expansion of the family within the same space. In order to begin a new family, one may require the house which looks dissimilar to the former one. This new house is built by white mortar and steel structure. Moreover, the pattern of this new house is different.

房子分为两个部分：起居室和餐厅，中间有一座桥。房子的这两个部分被游泳池隔开了。在这种情况下，游泳池充当房屋中心的法院；此外，它还充当反射自然光的反射器，并在白天照亮房屋。从房子的每一个房间都可以看到中央的游泳池。此外，该房屋有2层，以方便扩大家庭在未来。

The house is divided into 2 parts; the living room and the dining room, with the bridge in between. These 2 parts of the house are divided by the pool. The pool, in this case, acts as the court at the center of the house; furthermore, it also acts as the reflector which reflects the natural light and lightens up the house during daytime. The pool in the center can be seen from every single room of the house. Besides, the house has 2 floors in order to facilitate the expansion of the family in the future.

 First Floor Plan

一层平面图

家庭空间位于一楼，包括客厅、工作间和餐厅。此外，像游泳池这样的娱乐区也位于一楼。第二层是为将来扩大家庭而设的。三楼是用来放松的屋顶甲板。钢和木材的使用给人一种硬和软的感觉。建筑物的部件直接显示了材料的真实性。以钢结构的质量来建造较薄的房屋，体现了热带国家住宅的特点。根据建筑师的意愿将房屋分为两部分，以减少建筑物的质量，从而满足业主的要求。建筑师的意图是建造最薄和最轻的房子，以反对以前的房子是在白色的盒子模式的想法。直线的使用使建筑物看起来越来越薄。因此，这种设计为一天中的每一段时间提供了光明和阴影。

The family space is located on the first floor which includes the living room, the working room and the dining room. Moreover, the recreational zone like swimming pool is also located on the first floor. The second floor is provided for the expansion of the family in the future. The third floor is the roof deck for relaxation. The usage of the steel and wood gives the feeling of hard and soft. The components of the building directly exhibit the truth of the materials. The intention to make the thinner house with the quality of the steel structure displays the character of the house in the tropical country. The house is divided into 2 parts by the intention of the architect in order to decrease the mass of the building; therefore, the demand of the owner is responded. The intention of the architect is to build the thinnest and the lightest house in order to oppose the idea of the former house which is in the white box pattern. The usage of the straight line makes the building looks thinner and smaller. Consequently, this design provides light and shade for each time of the day.
