Architect : Kawin Wongwigkarn
Studio : Destroy Dirty Thing
Here — Uthai Thani is Professor Kawin’s hometown and it’s also the house where he grew up. The house is approximately 40 years old.
The architect from Destroy Dirty Things who designed the Zen Non Baan Home Stay & Gallery in Uthai Thani province is one of them.
While food nourishes our physical bodies, aesthetics is responsible for nurturing our spiritual selves. I believe your heart will flourish whenever we can get rid of the ugliness.”
“There are a lot of lines in this house’s major language whether it’s the frame of a bookshelf, the frame of a window, the line of a column, or the running line of a beam.
These lines are both functional and serve as a decoration without needing any other decorative objects. The lines could lessen their appearance on their own, creating a smooth look.
Also, what was hidden above the ceiling was revealed, as well as the lines of the wood. It may not be neat because such items were never intended to be shown in the first place.
We walk barefoot on the wooden floor, sit on it, stand on it, or touch the wooden walls or brick walls. All of these are the same story.
It makes humans associate beauty, absorb deeper architectural beauty, get more emotionally engaged in it, and be touched by it. If we design well, our visitors will be calm, warm, and cool.
That is, our ” Baan” (homestay) provides more than just a pleasant appearance.”
