Sakkawat Phongsphetrarattana’s brief for his residence seems at first rather simple – his
bedroom on ground floor, another bedroom for his mother and sister on
second floor, a large interior living space, and an outdoor terrace for
the mother who enjoys outdoor leisure. However, a great challenge comes
with the site location. The plot is situated at a busy 3-street
intersection in an up-scale residential estate that forbids the use of
any kinds of fences. This constraint poses serious questions on privacy
of the residents living on ground level as well as the problem of
trespassing car headlights at night.
