ReGEN之家–一个每一代人都能共同生活的房子。

开始了。
在与父母一起生活到有了自己的家庭之后，我们的客户搬到了位于父母对面的自己的房子。我们的客户最初的意图是将现有的房子装修成适合他的长子女儿–米娜。然而，在完成建筑图纸后，我们的客户改变了主意。根据他的经验，与父母分开居住是不愉快的。作为一个新的父母，我们的客户开始真正考虑到他的女儿和她的未来。因此，他在他的房子对面和他父母的房子旁边又买了一块地，努力创造一个可以和他的孩子米娜一起生活的地方，直到她有自己的家庭。

ReGEN House – a house where every generation can live together.

Beginning:
After living with his parents until the time he has his own family, our client moved out to his own house located opposite his parents’. The very first intention of our client was to renovate the existing house to be suitable for his first-born daughter – Meena. However, after the completion of architectural drawing, our client changed his mind. From his experience, it is not pleasing when it comes to living apart from his parents. Being a new parent makes our client become truly thinking about his daughter and her future. Therefore, he bought another land opposite his house and next to his parent’s house, with an effort to create a place where he can live with his child Meena till the time when she has her own family.

传统和现代的背景。
早在曼谷建立之前，泰国人就生活在一个由祖父母、父亲、母亲和孩子（有时包括叔叔和婶婶）组成的大家庭中。泰国人的生活方式对泰国的建筑设计产生了影响。一般来说，传统的泰国房子是由各种独立的小房子组成，每个小家庭都住在里面，房子中间有一个天井，把每个家庭连接在一起。房子坐落在杆子上，在房子下面形成一个高大的开放空间，允许良好的风流通过，降低室内温度。此外，还可以保护居住者免受洪水和野生动物的侵害。因此，这个底层主要用于停车和储存。而住宅区在房屋的第一层，是生活的开始。试图提高生活质量以及家庭关系；同时，个人仍然有自己的私人空间。

Traditional & Modern Context :
Long before Bangkok established, Thai people live in a big family which consists of grandparents, father, mother and children (and sometimes including uncle and aunt). The way of Thai’s life has influenced on the architectural design of Thailand. A traditional Thai house, in general, is composed of a variety of small detached-houses in which each small family lives, and a patio in a middle of the houses, where connects each family together. The house sits on poles which creates a high open space under the house, allowing good wind flow to pass through and lowering the temperature inside. In addition, protecting the dwellers from flood and wild animals. Therefore, this ground floor is mainly for parking and storage. While the residential area is on the first floor of the house where life starts. The attempt is to enhance living quality as well as the family relationship; meanwhile, individuals still have their own private space.

然而，现代环境充满了复杂性，使泰国人的生活变得复杂。首都的土地价格飙升，迫使人们与家人分开居住。现代人倾向于搬到工作场所附近的微型公寓，或者搬到城外地价尚可承受的太小的独立屋中。问题是，我们是否有可能创造出一种房屋，让传统的泰国房屋在现代环境中恢复舒适。

Nonetheless, the modern context is full of complexity creating complication in Thai people’s life. Land prices soar in capital forcing people to live apart from their family. Modern people tend to move into micro-apartments nearby their workplaces or too small detached-houses outside the city where the land prices are still affordable. The question is whether or not it is possible that we could create a house which brings back the comfort of traditional Thai houses to the modern context.

对家庭土地和建筑执行的看法。
这块地位于道路的拐角处，紧挨着客户父母的房子，他是在那里长大的。面积为640平方米，建筑师将泰国传统建筑的概念融入到规划中，以最大限度地利用这个有限的面积。通过创建L型建筑，并将所有的住宅空间提升到高层；将底层空出来作为仓库和十辆车的停车区。父母的房子和新房子之间的墙被消除了，并沿着父母房子的现有花园用一个大的新花园填充，以创造空间的一致性。

根据客户的意愿，建筑师对四层楼的房屋进行了分层规划。二楼是为客户的家人准备的，而三楼是为他女儿的未来家庭准备的。因此，为了将家庭中的所有人（以及他女儿未来的家庭）聚集在一起，一楼是一个焦点。在这一层，有一个娱乐室和一个大天井，成为客户家庭（也是未来家庭）的公共区域。此外，这一层的灵感来自于传统的底层，其中自然元素被紧密包围。从同一楼层的游泳池反映出河边的感觉到游泳池对面的高架庭院。游泳池和高架院子之间的缝隙使地面上的一棵树得以生长。同时，让阳光流进下面的玻璃亭子（园艺亭）。在大天井里，用户的视线将被引向游泳池、高架庭院、树顶（生长在底层）、父母房子的现有花园，以及父母的房子，分别。

Perception of The Family Land & The Architectural Execution:
The land is located on the corner of a road, and next to the house of client’s parents where he grew up. With an area of 640 square meters, the architect embraces the concept of traditional Thai architecture to the planning to maximize this limited area. By creating L-shape building and lifting all residential spaces to the upper floors; leaving ground floor free for storage and parking area of ten cars. The wall between the parents’ house and the new one is eliminated and filled with a big new garden along the existing garden of parents’ house to create consistency of space.

Regarding client’s wish, the architects divided the floor planning of four-storey house. The second floor is meant for the client’s family, while the third floor is for his daughter’s future family. Hence, in order to gather everyone in the family (and his daughter’s future family) together, the first floor is a focal point. On this floor, there are an entertainment room and a grand patio which become the common area for the client’s family (and also the future family). Furthermore, this floor is inspired by a traditional ground level in which natural elements are closely surrounded. Ranging from the swimming pool on the same floor which reflects a riverside sensation to the elevated yard across the swimming pool. The gap between the swimming pool and the elevated yard allows a tree from the ground floor to grow through. Also, allowing sunlight to stream in a glass pavilion (gardening pavilion) underneath. On the grand patio, users’ eyesight will be led to the swimming pool, the elevated yard, the top of the tree (grew on the ground floor), the existing garden of parents’ house, and to the parents’ house, respectively.

其目的是让我们的客户感到与他们的父母很亲近。以及躺着看米娜在这个大天井里跑来跑去，像在真正的地面上一样。土地的东侧是八层楼的经济公寓对面。因此，建筑师将房子隐藏在这一侧，以阻挡不愉快的视线，并通过提供最少数量的窗户或空隙来保护居民免受窥视。回到一楼，在东侧有一个主入口，是由实木制成的。而在一楼的同一侧，有从地板到天花板的木格子窗转轴，可以打开以便通风，在需要保护隐私的时候可以关闭。在材料选择方面，ReGEN之家的每一层都有不同的材料，如木材、石质纹理的墙面和类似石块的瓷砖。这种材料的组合创造了一个独特的外墙，同时也与周围的环境相适应。

The intention is to make our client feel close to their parents. As well as to lay down watching Meena running around on this grand patio, like on a real ground. East side of the land is opposite the eight-storey economic apartment. Therefore, the architects conceal the house on this side, in order to block the unpleasant view as well as to protect the residents from prying eyes, by providing windows or voids at the minimum number. Back to the ground floor, there is a main entrance on the east side which is made of solid wood. While on the first floor, on the same side, there are floor-to-ceiling wooden-grill window pivots which can be opened to allows ventilation and can be closed when privacy is in need. In terms of material selection, each floor of the ReGEN House features different materials, such as wood, stone-texture coated wall and stone-like tiles. This material combination creates a uniqueness to the facade which still fits into the surrounding context.
