In order to create an interesting interior design, the architect also uses some different materials to beautify this apartment. Grey tiles are used not only for the center area of the apartment but also for the bathroom floor and wall. In the bedroom, wood dominates the wall behind the bed, the floor, and the cupboard. The same wood material is also used to design the storage in the bathroom.

The volume of this loft is made from birch plywood to strengthen the synergy between new and old style. The existing steel trusses suspend the wooden construction of the loft with round steel tubes. With the wood structure and white paint, this loft can provide a natural look and a warm atmosphere as well.
This apartment has awesome details for its interior. The details are precisely and concerned thoroughly manufactured. The wall panels, cabinets, and shelves are attached by the 29000 separated wooden pieces. This attachment is done in a traditional joinery method by 3 craftsmen that take more than 700 hours, creating a homogeneous area as an Installation artwork.
The whole design for this house is taken by the mid modern century style in the tropical country of Thailand. The tropical wood elements go well with the simple wall paint. The design also focuses on the lifestyle rather than the beauty look. The same sentence as Mies Van de Rohe ‘form follow funtion’ is simply naturally charming the house living spaces in addition.
The three levels are connected by the open stairs to a large roof deck that additional open space for the clients. It also can provide a thermal chimney effect to minimize the mechanical cooling need. With the materials, design, and all elements, a comfortable feeling can be created for the client while living in this house.
The materials for this house are chosen carefully to provide variety and texture, giving each room and element of the house its identity. These materials are used in particular with the selection of the joinery finishes, wall tiles, and flooring. The result comes in a beautiful, sleek, and elegant look for the entire house.
It is a kind of budget-conscious residence with a focus on the quality of space and the spend on luxuries. Both the spend on luxuries and space quality are the clients most wanted. A communal indoor/ outdoor living area with a northern aspect and the wooden stairs in front of the front door become the appeals of the house design.
The architect also added some new minimalist details to this house to create a decorative look. The details are also combined with crafted elements such as a tapered reclaimed post. This element can bring a quiet, warm aesthetic sense to the unusual spaces of the house and connecting those spaces into one.
