PK79 by Ayutt and Associates design (AAd)
Bangkok, Thailand

Result Announcement: Design Daily Choice Awards 2020

PK79 is located on Petchkasem 79 road, Bangkok, Thailand where is known as the suburban residential area. The site location is in the middle of the wasteland zone, remotely from the city and the low density of population affected directly the safety issue. The neighborhoods of this area live quite far apart from each other. The security issue becomes the main problem for this area and Thai architecture. Most households solve this problem by adding the “wrought iron screens” as a protection screen to all doors and windows preventing thieves or other invaders. Which somehow makes the owners feel uncomfortable and ends up being confined in their own residence and also causes negative effects like terrible shape, view-blocking, and extra maintenance. Although today’s world can solve this problem with various technologies, most Thai people still feel insecure to live in a house without these secondary screens. We live in these skins for years and years becoming unconcerned about it. This gives an architect a design question to develop the façade which works as a protector, but at the same time improves living quality by creating space hierarchy and special characteristics. Ayutt and Associates’ design (AAd)’s results turns out that the house has a special protection screen, which works multi-function as a house feature facade, space divider, a wall, a sun- heat protector, air buffer zone, and air ventilation.

House of Many Arches by 24d-Studio
Kobe, Japan

Result Announcement: Design Daily Choice Awards 2020

House of Many Arches is a gut renovation of a 35-year-old house in Kobe, Japan. The goal was to transform into a design studio with workshop space on the first floor and a residential section on the second floor. Originally built with a function of four rentable apartment units and a small office, the house went through a series of renovations after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995, transforming into a work-live space. While the spatial configuration worked for the programmatic goals, the survey revealed misalignment and weakening of structural systems due to past renovations. The residential quarter also was heavily compartmentalized, resulting in an overall lack of natural lighting and ventilation.

House of Giants by Iterare arquitectos
Valencia, Spain

Result Announcement: Design Daily Choice Awards 2020

Located in Valencia´s famous fisherman’s neighborhood of El Cabañal, House of Giants sets itself as a singular construction on this historical area. Its innovation, far from using in-vogue solutions completely out of context and place, comes from the deep update of the history that takes place in this building. Without oversimplifying or stylizing, the task was to bring up with an updated contemporary proposition, all those materials and construction techniques of the Mediterranean, those of the local people and local industry, efficient and responsible, those that stood the test and weight of time with great dignity. And so all over the house natural stone from the area, earthy lime plaster, reclaimed wood from the very building, and other such materials and traditional techniques are used though with a contemporary understanding of them, not being a call to the past but a hint to the future.

We, the Design Daily team, would like to sincerely thank our supporters and readers for making 10 years of passion worthwhile. We hope you keep reading Design Daily and spread the love for design and architecture.
