About B/W Residence
Redefining Luxury and Privacy: The B/W Residence
In the heart of Bangkok, Thailand, the B/W Residence stands as a testament to the remarkable fusion of modernism and timeless elegance. Designed by the acclaimed ACA Architects, this 3,200 sq. m. (34,444 sq. ft.) house embodies the essence of “Distinct – Discrete – Delicate,” captivating all who encounter it.
Preserving the Past, Shaping the Future
The project’s design journey began with the existing house structure, which the homeowners sought to transform into a space that exuded modern character, spaciousness, and unparalleled privacy. ACA Architects conducted a meticulous survey of the original framework, strategically preserving the foundation while expanding the living areas with new additions, including a captivating living room, a serene master bedroom, and a convenient parking garage.
Proportion and Materiality: A Delicate Balance
The design concept masterfully explores the interplay of proportions, with walls of varying widths, lengths, and heights defining the spaces and creating a unique, open atmosphere. This seamless connection between the interior and the lush garden, complete with an alluring outdoor swimming pool, ensures a harmonious integration of indoor and outdoor living.
Embracing a Modern Aesthetic
Driven by the homeowners’ desire to depart from the warm-colored wood of their past, the B/W Residence embraces a bold, monochromatic palette. Aluminum screens, steel, and dark-colored wood are expertly combined, evoking a sense of lightness that contrasts the solid and void composition of the building. This carefully curated material selection not only achieves a modern appearance but also aligns with the homeowners’ lifestyle and preferences, resulting in a timeless design that captivates the senses.
Conclusion: A Residential Masterpiece
The B/W Residence is a remarkable achievement in architectural design, blending the past and present seamlessly to create a modern sanctuary that exudes exclusivity and privacy. ACA Architects’ masterful approach has transformed this property into a true gem, a place where the homeowners can indulge in the ultimate luxury of refined living.
