Laemthong公司是泰国一家历史悠久的畜牧业和相关食品业公司，成立之初生产黄麻米袋，如今主要从事动物饲料、牲畜、食品和包装。为了改善其员工的工作环境，PHTAA被要求对其位于Nakorn Pathom的Phutthamonthon sai 5的LCG工厂进行改造。
Laemthong Corporation is a well-established Thai livestock and related food industry company, which was founded to produce jute rice bags and nowadays focuses on animal feed, livestock, food products and packaging. To enhance the working environment for their personnel, PHTAA was asked to renovate their LCG factory at Phutthamonthon sai 5, Nakorn Pathom.
建筑师首先考虑的是如何利用两座建筑（A楼：办公和生产，B楼：食堂和工人设施）之间的一个未被充分利用的空间。该空间主要是一个早上和晚上使用的装载区，但在一天中是自由的。解决方案是创建一个有遮挡的庭院空间，作为会议区和员工午餐和休息的区域。以前，行政人员和工厂员工在不同的食堂就餐。将食堂合并到B楼，紧挨着新造的庭院，使员工在B楼和新的空间里都能打成一片，并打破了公司的等级制度。
The first consideration for the architect was how to utilize an underused space between two buildings (Building A: office and production, and Building B: canteen and worker’s facilities). The space was primarily a loading zone used in the morning and evening, but free during the middle of the day. The solution was to create a sheltered courtyard space which would act as a meeting zone and area for staff to lunch and take breaks. Previously the administration staff and factory staff dined at different canteens. Combining the canteens to Building B, next to the newly made courtyard, allows staff to mingle both inside Building B and in the new space, and breaks down the company hierarchy.
庭院空间的天窗的结构使用了垂直的10毫米厚的铝鳍，这些铝鳍的角度不同，使皮肤的不透明度从开放到封闭的变化有节奏的波浪状模式。角度的变化也使这面墙能更有效地捕捉微风。屋顶在视觉上也很相似，它使用了20毫米的分级不透明聚碳酸酯板，有三个不同的层次，以分散庭院中的照明。两个种有树木的花箱作为院子的中心焦点，在休息时间为员工提供座位。
The structure of the clerestory in the courtyard space uses vertical 10 mm thick aluminum fins which vary in angle to make the skin change in opacity from open to closed in a rhythmic wave-like pattern. Changing angles also allows this wall to catch the breeze more efficiently. The roof is visually similar in that it uses 20 mm graded opacity polycarbonate sheets of three different levels to diffuse the lighting in the courtyard. Two planter boxes with trees act as a central focus to the courtyard and provide seating for staff during break times.
第二个变化是在B楼的入口处建造了一个平台，为员工提供了休息或吃午饭的空间。10毫米的折叠式钢平台由薄薄的钢柱支撑，没有打断建筑外墙和楼梯的水平线，给人一种漂浮的感觉。
The second change was at the entrance to Building B where a platform was built to give staff a space on which to take a break or eat lunch. The 10 mm folding steel platform is supported by thin steel columns which do not interrupt the horizontal lines of the building facade and stairs and give it the feeling that it is floating.
最后，A楼二层的窗户用水平的纤维水泥百叶窗遮挡，其角度可以让楼内的工作人员看到紧挨着大楼的绿色空间，但又能遮挡绿色空间外的繁忙道路。通往二楼的新外部楼梯位于钢制H型梁上，保留了工厂的工业感。
Finally, the windows on the second floor of Building A were screened with horizontal fiber cement louvres angled in such a way to allow staff inside the building to view the green space immediately in front of the building but screen the busy road beyond the green space. A new external staircase to this second floor rests on a steel H beam, retaining the industrial feel of the factory.
