在罗姆·桑卡瓦坦纳的记忆中,他一直怀有创作的激情。罗姆·桑卡瓦坦纳是Rom Design的创意总监,也是Townhouse Space的创始人,后者是一家艺术家代理公司、概念店和画廊。创意总监罗姆·桑卡瓦坦纳表示:“从小的时候开始,我就想通过艺术和设计来表达自己。”对于那些出生在相对保守家庭的亚洲人来说,选择从事艺术职业通常不被鼓励。对于桑卡瓦坦纳来说,他的家庭在泰国从事房地产和航空业务,因此人们普遍期望他会选择传统的职业道路。
For as long as Rom Sangkavatana can remember, he always had a drive to create. “Since I was little, I wanted to express myself, and I did that mostly through art and design,” says the Bangkok-based creative director of Rom Design, who is also the founder of Townhouse Space, a talent agency, concept store and gallery.Any Asian from a conservative family can probably relate to the fact that a career in the arts isn’t always encouraged. For Sangkavatana, whose family is involved in property and aviation businesses in Thailand, there was an expectation that he would follow a traditional professional path.
“我认为我很幸运,他们支持我追求创意职业的决定,” 他谈到他的父母支持他选择追求创意职业时说。他的设计之旅正式开始于他作为伦敦中央圣马丁学院的学生,他在那里学习了平面设计。他还获得了巴特莱特学院(伦敦大学学院)的硕士学位,并在英国和法国工作了一段时间。在欧洲的生活是他生命中的一个关键时期,这种经历继续影响着他的工作和观点。
“I think I was lucky that they allowed me to go on this risky journey,” he says about his parents being supportive of his decision to pursue a creative career. His design journey started in earnest as a student at the prestigious Central St. Martins in London, where he studied graphic design. He also earned a Master’s Degree from The Bartlett, University College London, and spent some time working in the UK and in France. Living in Europe was a formative period in his life, and this experience continues to influence his work and outlook.
2011年回到曼谷后,罗姆·桑卡瓦坦纳决定在泰国的品牌行业处于萌芽阶段的时候专注于品牌塑造。他说:“设计是艺术和商业的产物,需要大量的逻辑思维。品牌通常涉及解决方案,而不仅仅是营销。” 他的同名公司提供从品牌识别到艺术指导和内容创作等一揽子服务。到目前为止,他已经参与了泰国清迈的One Nimman、日本的Amoma,以及最近的曼谷Soho House等项目。罗姆·桑卡瓦坦纳还是一位新晋音乐艺术家,于2022年发布了两首歌曲;他目前正在创作另一首将于今年发布的曲目。
Upon returning to Bangkok in 2011, Sangkavatana decided to focus on branding at a time when the industry was in its infancy in Thailand. “Design is the output of art and commerce—it requires a lot of logical thinking. Branding is often about solutions, not just marketing,” he says. His eponymous firm offers everything from brand identity to artistic direction and content creation. To date, it has worked on One Nimman in Chiang Mai, Amoma in Japan and, most recently, Soho House in Bangkok. Sangkavatana is also a newly minted music artiste who released two songs in 2022; he is currently working on another track to be launched this year.

所有这些不同的经历都在桑卡瓦坦纳最个人的项目中发挥了作用——他的家。他对这所房子的每一寸都了如指掌,因为他在这里长大,而且,在某种程度上,他和他的母亲在着手改建之前已经用了一生的时间来考虑如何改造他们的住所。他说:“我母亲(最初)想要一个带游泳池的U形房子,受到她在加利福尼亚时的启发。当她从美国回来时,我父亲已经建好了这所房子,所以她不得不在这个构架下生活了很长时间。”当家庭决定是时候做出改变时,他们咨询了一位建筑师,以提出现代化住宅改造的构想。最终达成了一个设计协议,这意味着拆除原有结构,兴建一座全新的现代建筑。
All these varied experiences came into play in Sangkavatana’s most personal project—his home. He knows every square inch of the house having grown up in it and, in a way, both he and his mother had their whole lives to think about what to do to their abode before embarking on its transformation. “My mother [originally] wanted a U-shaped house with a pool, inspired by her time in California. When she came home from the US, my father had already built the house, so she had to live with this frame for a long time.”When the family decided it was finally time for a change, they consulted an architect to propose ideas on how to modernise the home. A design was finally agreed upon, which entailed knocking down the original structure and erecting a completely modern building.
然而,他父亲的过早离世,却明确了下一个篇章。
他和他的母亲决定保留他父亲所建的东西,保持其原本的灵魂,同时加入新的想法来进行更新,而不是从零开始。
他说:
“一次性改变太多了,所以我们认为翻新更合适。
”桑卡瓦坦纳亲自负责了翻新的各个方面——建筑、室内设计、风格和甚至艺术策展。
Th
e un
imely passing of his father, however, crystallised the next chapter. Instead of starting from scratch, both Sangkavatana and his mother decided to retain what his father had built and preserve its soul while refreshing it with new ideas. “It was too much change at one time, so we thought a renovation was more suitable.” Sangkavatana undertook all aspects of the renovation—the architecture, interior design, styling and even the art curation.

这所房子位于曼谷素坤逸区,这个社区时尚而富有。
他分享道:
“素坤逸区有点像伦敦的南肯辛顿。
有很多政治家和贵族住在这里,但与此同时,它也变得繁荣起来,也有点像代官山的感觉。
”由于临近皇宫,该地区规定任何建筑都不得超过八层,保持了该地区葱郁和轻松的氛围。
The house is located in Ari, a neighbourhood that is equal parts hip and posh. “Ari is a bit like South Kensington in London. There are lots of politicians and aristocrats who live here, but at the same time it’s become gentrified so it also has sort of a Daikanyama feel,” he shares. Its proximity to the palace also ensures that no building can be over eight stories high, preserving the verdant and relaxed ambience of the area.

这解释了为什么这个家一直感觉像是混凝土丛林中的一颗隐秘的宝石。
桑卡瓦坦纳强调了花园的重要性,将其视为一个延伸的生活空间,并增加了一座环绕整个家的鱼池,就像城堡周围的护城河一样。
这已经成为他最喜欢的地方,他在那里享受il dolce far niente——意大利人所说的“懒散的甜蜜”。
他说:
“这里非常宁静,我喜欢坐在池塘旁边,看着花园中的大树在日落时分。
This explains why the home has always felt like a hidden gem in the concrete jungle. Sangkavatana emphasised the importance of the garden, treating it like an extended living space by adding a fish pond that wraps around the home; much like a moat around a castle. This has become his favourite place, where he enjoys il dolce far niente—what the Italians call the “sweetness of doing nothing”. “It’s very calm and quiet here. I love sitting by the pond and looking out at the big trees in the garden at sunset.”

在室内设计方面,桑卡瓦坦纳采用了简约的手法,以实现他母亲多年前就梦寐以求的包豪斯风格。
他在特定区域设置了玻璃窗户,以引入更多自然光线,并打通了空间,以创造更好的内部流动性。
他的改进与原始建筑完美融合,以至于看起来几乎没有什么改变。
“我花了两年的时间慢慢把一切东西准备好。
我希望它能够真实地反映我们的生活方式,将房屋的过去和记忆保留在内部。
”他说。
In terms of interiors, Sangkavatana went for a pared-back approach to get that Bauhaus-inspired look his mother had desired all those years ago. He placed glass windows in targeted areas to bring in more natural light, and opened up the spaces to create a better flow inside. His improvements seamlessly blend with the original building such that it doesn’t look like much was changed at all. “It took m two years to slowly get everything together. I wanted it to be authentic to how we live and keep the stories within the walls,” he says.

这个重新焕发生机的极简主义外观为精心搭配的家具、艺术品和传家宝提供了理想的背景。
从他童年时代的旧餐桌和藤椅,到新的灯具和艺术品,形成了鲜明的对比。
他祖父母的一件镶嵌着珍珠母贝的精美作品和父亲的一个橙色花瓶也在房子里占据了重要位置。
这种新旧混搭为空间带来了一种自然、居家的感觉,同时通过这些艺术品展现了桑卡瓦坦纳的个人品味。
The reinvigorated, minimalist shell makes for an ideal canvas for a thoughtful assemblage of furniture, art and heirlooms. The old dining table and rattan chairs from his childhood are juxtaposed with new lighting and art. An intricate piece featuring a mother-of-pearl inlay from his grandparents and an orange vase from his father also take pride of place in the house. This mix of old and new gives the space an effortless, lived-in look while representing Sangkavatana’s personal taste through the art.

桑卡瓦坦纳将他的家打造成了一个平台,用以展示新兴艺术家和设计师的作品。
“当我刚从欧洲回到曼谷时,我发现曼谷的大多数创意人士都活在一个封闭的圈子里。
在Townhouse,我希望创造更多的联系和机会,”他说。
除了展示本地新秀的作品,他还在帮助他们进军国际市场,最近还在韩国举办了一场展览。
It’s no surprise that Sangkavatana is using his home as a platform for emerging artists and designers. “When I first came back from Europe, I noticed that most creatives in Bangkok stuck to the same closed group. At Townhouse, I want to create connections,” he says. Apart from exhibiting the work of new local talents, he is also helping them break into the international scene, and recently staged a show in Korea.

Townhouse Space和他自己的家之间的另一个相似之处在于它们都是经过改造的老房子。
然而,一个不同之处在于他的家仍然相当私密,尽管也许不会太久。
与香港巴塞尔艺术展的总监在他家共进午餐引发了一个想法:
在花园中创建一个小型博物馆。
他称之为House Museum,并表示这个计划将在今年晚些时候推出,将与他在Rom Design和Townhouse Space的工作相辅相成。
“我带更多的人来这里,就越能了解空间,这有点奇怪,因为我一辈子都住在这所房子里。
这让我意识到,像这样具有特色的地方应该是可以共享的,所以我正在慢慢地打开它的大门。
Another parallel between Townhouse Space and his own home is that they’re both old houses given a new lease of life. A point of difference, however, is that his home remains quite private—although perhaps not for long. A casual lunch with the director of Art Basel Hong Kong at his home sparked an idea: to create a small museum in the garden. He’s calling it House Museum, and he says this initiative will complement his work at Rom Design and Townhouse Space once it launches later this year. “The more people I bring here, the more I learn about space, which is strange because I’ve lived in this house my whole life. It made me realise that places of character like this should be shared, so I’m slowly opening its doors.”
