The Banker House’: A Three-Story Home in Rama 3 Built on Three Axes

The visionary design of ‘The Banker House’ was entrusted to mArchten, guided by the desires of its owner, Khun Ratchai. With a mission to translate his imaginative vision into a tangible reality, the team engaged in in-depth discussions to fully understand and fulfill his aspirations. This process resulted in three core design themes: openness, dark tones, and privacy. These themes are skillfully intertwined throughout the house, adapting fluidly to the function and mood of each space.

Openness and Simplicity

The architectural journey begins with an embrace of openness, starting with a double volume space that invites natural breezes into the home, cleverly designed as a pocket space for a private outdoor sitting area. Inside, the open-plan design philosophy is evident, allowing furniture placement to integrate harmoniously with functional needs, thereby achieving a serene continuity throughout the home.

The Staircase Hall: Here, tall, sleek black iron railings draw the eye upward, creating an illusion of height while ensuring safety, complemented by a harmonious mix of wooden and stone-patterned tile flooring.

Second Floor Integration: The areas designated for the living room, kitchen, and dining room bleed seamlessly into each other under the open-plan concept, with strategic furniture placement subtly defining boundaries and flow.

Kitchen Design: To optimize movement, the kitchen features efficiently arranged countertops along the walls, streamlining kitchen work from preparation to cooking, with large windows amplifying natural light and ventilation, ensuring an airy and moisture-free environment.

Blending Natural Color Palettes

The interior palette predominantly features warm wood tones, tastefully contrasted with black and white accents on selective walls. This choice reflects and reinforces the understated elegance and personality of the homeowner, avoiding any overly bold statements while ensuring stylistic cohesion.

Privacy with Visibility

Balancing openness with privacy was essential in the design of The Banker House. Various thoughtful methods were strategically implemented to ensure privacy without sacrificing aesthetic or comfort, tailoring each strategy to the specific functions of house zones:

Dual-Layer Curtains: These feature sheer front layers paired with deeper back curtains, allowing the living room to bask in soft, natural light while maintaining intimacy. Hidden elements like a Jacuzzi are revealed through sliding panels, adding a luxurious touch to relaxation.

Frosted Glass Doors: Enhancing functionality with privacy, these provide light diffusion while ensuring a sense of seclusion. For example, the walk-in closet, illuminated by natural light via windows, smoothly transitions from dressing area to bedroom with attractive frosted glass sliding doors. This solution promotes privacy without physical or visual confinement, with the master bedroom offering panoramic views of the Rama 3 skyline through partially transparent glass walls, complete with dual-layer curtains that provide adjustable privacy.

Glass Folding Doors: These versatile design elements ensure the fluidity of visual connection between rooms while allowing for separation whenever privacy or containment of kitchen aromas is desired, with the option to close these doors.

At mArchten, the core mission is to strike an intricate balance between the artistic vision of the homeowner and the practical execution of design. This balance ensures that the resulting home is neither overwhelmingly adorned nor lacking in character. The ultimate ambition is to craft a dwelling that resonates with its inhabitants on a deeply personal level. mArchten creates a living space that serves multiple roles: a peaceful retreat where residents can unwind, a wellspring of inspiration and creativity for work, and a nurturing environment for a joyful daily life. Each corner and feature of the home is intentionally designed to reflect the unique desires and lifestyle of its residents, ensuring that the space not only meets but surpasses their expectations for comfort and functionality.

This approach ensures that the home truly becomes a personal haven, an embodiment of the owner’s aspirations, and a testament to a life well lived in a space crafted from their own dreams and requirements.
