The project reconsiders conventional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/residential-architecture-interiors\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">housing<\/a> typologies through a design approach centered on curved geometry and spatial continuity.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Positioned adjacent to the original house, the new structure is defined by a series of curved lines that inform both plan and elevation. These curves operate as spatial devices, enabling adjacent areas to remain connected without rigid separation. This approach establishes a continuous relationship between the two buildings while also softening the boundaries between the architecture and the site.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"curved concrete volumes interlock through glass hinge to extend oom house in bangkok - 1\" width=\"818\" height=\"1166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/oom-house-1-69d5d3a457ce4.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>all images by Peepapat Wimolrungkarat<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Continuous curves and shifting stair paths organize oom house<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The ground floor accommodates shared functions, including the living room, dining area, kitchen, and an outdoor space that extends toward the original house. Private areas, including bedrooms, are arranged across the second and third floors. Curved geometries are introduced at key junctions, particularly along the front facade and corners near property edges, reducing angular transitions and contributing to a more continuous spatial flow.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A concave glass wall marks the intersection between the new and existing structures. This transparent surface allows the exterior space of the original house to extend into the new interior, forming a shared terrace between the two volumes. The gesture reinforces the project\u2019s \u2018space sharing\u2019 concept while increasing daylight penetration into the ground floor. Overhanging eaves provide shading, mitigating solar gain along the glazed surface.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/anonymstudio.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">designers<\/a> at anonym studio organize the circulation in order to encourage movement through the house.

Timber is used extensively at points of contact and visual emphasis, reflecting the client\u2019s preference for natural materials. Dark-toned wood is applied to window frames, railings, and exterior decking, creating contrast against concrete walls and white exterior surfaces. Internally, lighter wood tones are used for floors, doors, and furniture, contributing to a softer spatial atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The exterior is finished with a grey plaster that references raw concrete, with a slightly textured surface that adds depth. This contrasts with the interior, where smooth white walls create a more controlled and neutral environment. The interior palette combines light wood, grey, and beige tones, establishing visual continuity across surfaces and furnishings.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Curved geometry remains the primary organizing principle throughout the project. Exterior and interior surfaces follow corresponding radii, generating continuous spatial relationships between inside and outside. This approach supports a fluid transition between the new and existing structures, reinforcing the integration of shared spaces and the overall spatial coherence of the design.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"curved concrete volumes interlock through glass hinge to extend oom house in bangkok - 3\" width=\"818\" height=\"783\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/oom-house-12-69d5d3a457fba.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>a curved outdoor courtyard creates an active open space, linking the existing house with the new addition<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Stacked Volumes Organize Layered living space by anonym studio \u00a0 Located within an established residential enclave in Bangkok,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":392592,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[186794,45376,437,434,435,436,438,146,85,46,457,451],"class_list":["post-392591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-anonym-studio","tag-architecture-in-thailand","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-renovation-and-restoration-architecture-and-design","tag-residential-architecture-and-interiors"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=392591"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/392591\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/392592"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=392591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=392591"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=392591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
