就在马路对面，Silpakorn大学的对面，Niran公寓一直隐藏在Nakhon Phatom的一堆典型建筑群后面。常见的是，公寓本身的外观也与附近的邻居的环境相协调，因为它的设计是不引人注意的。

Just across the road, opposite of Silpakorn University, Niran Apartment has been hiddenly located behind a bunch of Nakhon Phatom’s typical building blocks. Commonly, the exterior of the apartment itself is also contextually harmonized with nearby neighbors as it was designed to be unnoticeable.

著名的艺术大学和Phra Phatom Chedi (Stupa)一直是影响最大的背景，形成了项目的方案和概念。从过去到现在，这两个地方都是城市的主要聚集地，大多数当地人都可能在这里度过他们的时间。这也是鼓励Niran将中庭设计作为城市的另一个新的公共活动空间，以大学学生为中心的公寓设计的原因。

The famous university of art and Phra Phatom Chedi (Stupa) had been the most influencing contexts emerging the project’s programs and concept. Both places have been the city’s main gathering space where most of the local people are likely to spend their time from the past until nowadays. This was the reason that Niran had been encouraged to accommodate the atrium design as another new public event space for the city with a university-student-centric apartment design.

此外，最大限度地增加单位和可销售面积也是项目的主要财务标准。因此，设计三种不同深度的房间类型是解决中庭问题的设计方案，因为中庭在比例上要求超过420平方米的公共空间有高天花板。

Moreover, maximizing the units and saleable area also accounted for the project’s main financial criteria. Thus, designing three different room types having various depths of the room was the design solution that solved the problem of the Atrium which proportionally demanded high-ceiling for its over 420 sq. meter public space.

解释一下，最浅的单元被放置在第三层，为中庭形成更大的开放空间，然后较高的楼层分别应用更多的房间深度，创造更多的可销售空间，而地面上的头顶空间的需求已经变得没有必要。因此，中庭的空间已经形成了标志性的 “Stupa”，即A字形，希望能够为这个城市创造另一个隐藏的标志性建筑。

To explain, the shallowest unit has been placed on the third floor forming larger open space for the Atrium, then the higher floors have respectively applied with more depth of the rooms creating more sellable space while the need of the space-above-the-head on the ground has become unnecessary. As a result, the Atrium has formed its space into the iconic ‘Stupa’, the A-Shape which hopefully can create another hidden iconic landmark to this city.

该项目的主要挑战是它的项目，即住宅层（从第三层到第六层）的安静和第二层两翼的混乱的集会空间与零售业之间的隐私分歧。相反，它们在功能上也被设计成空间上的连接，特别是在第二层有活动的时候，视觉上的连接。Niran倾向于将宿舍居住者与活动联系起来，而不是将他们分开。矗立在两个空间之间的网状隔断是用一个基本的吸引子的算法进行参数化设计的。

The major challenge of the project is its programs which are the divergence of their privacy between the quietness of the residential levels (from level 3rdto 6th) and the chaotic gathering space with retails on both wings at the second level. On the contrary, they have also been functionally designed to be connected spatially, visually especially when there is an event at the second level. Niran tends to connect dorm dwellers with the event, not to separate them. The mesh partition that stands between both spaces has been parametrically designed with a basic attractor’s algorithm.

外墙一般是一个隔断，保持两边的断开，只有一些特定区域是互动的开口。9毫米的钢棒被编织成22种不同类型的蝴蝶形状的面板。孔的大小、面板的尺寸是应用于立面的算法的属性。靠近开口处的面板尺寸较大，它们的孔创造了更多的连接和互动，而位于较远处的面板则更密集和更私密。

The façade is generally a partition that keeps both sides disconnected, only some specific areas are the openings for interactions. 9mm. steel rods are weaving into 22 different typologies of butterfly shape panels. The size of holes, sizes of the panel are the properties that have been applied to the façade algorithmically. The panels that are placed near the openings are larger in size of the panels and their holes creating the connection and interaction more than the panels that are located further away which are denser and more private.
