MYJ House: Eco-Friendly Residential Design with Exposed Brick

Striking brick architecture with intricate perforated facade, black exterior panels.

This city home, designed by BodinChapa Architects, is located in the Prawet district of Bangkok, Thailand. Completed in 2021, the MYJ House was constructed on a relatively limited land area, with the unique form of the corner lot informing the architects’ innovative design approach. Emphasizing natural ventilation and light while ensuring privacy, the home’s distinctive shape and material palette – including exposed brick and translucent elements – create a harmonious balance between function and aesthetic.
