Sampeng Market, Bangkok
90 sq.m.


90 sq.m. for 2

Baam Sampeng is a 90 sq.m. space designed for a couple. It is located on the 5th floor of a stand-alone building in Sampeng Market, a famous wholesale market in Bangkok Chinatown. The floor is designed as ‘cozy corners’ where rooms are sequenced according to its degree of privacy. Upon arrival through the elevator, the welcome space is the kitchen and the dining area which is separated from other spaces by the intermediate room which contains the bathroom, laundry corner and closet area. The location of the intermediate room creates the corridor which its presence is the backbone of the whole floor. The corridor loosely connects the dining area and the living area deep into the space while also separating them, creating the sequence of space and privacy.

At the same time, openings are designed as a loosely-framed view of the chaotic Sampeng Market outside. Their shapes and sizes are based on their locations, creating different atmosphere in each space through tailored natural light character and view.
