GLA.Design oversees the construction of a stacked rectangular home in Bangkok, Thailand. The building entertains a strong contemporary aesthetic by way of its appearance, as well as its ultra-communicative layout that boasts two connected wings. The stylish dwelling includes a glass-enclosed courtyard that is, without a doubt, a welcomed attribute during the warm summer months. In addition, GLA.Design strengthens the natural element of the rectangular home through a facade that features weaving greenery.
The company accurately referenced the SIRI House as being a "life gallery." Essentially, this approach to contemporary homes is one in a line-up of many that attempt to foster a seamless relationship between indoor and outdoor spaces.
