Muji Style Serviced Apartment in Bangkok

This Muji style apartment truly sheds the image of Bangkok’s concrete jungle.

When strolling through the main neighbourhood of this urban city, you’re likely to find yourself amidst monotonous concrete housing and buildings. So, it’s no surprise that HACHI Serviced Apartment in Ladprao district would catch the eye of every passerby.

Designed by Bangkok-based WARchitect (Previously called Octane Architect & Design), the exterior facade of the five-storey low rise stands in striking contrast to the surrounding residential scenes.

As opposed to typical apartment balconies filled with hanging clothes and air con units, several neatly designed gable extensions with vertical wall slats have been placed to reflect thoughtful ideas behind meticulous execution.

Each gable module varies in depth, orientation and height that combine to enhance visual appeal, making residents feel at home while serving as a functional sunshade during daylight.

The switch between light wooden battens and dark metal cladding materials helps add sophisticated depth without unnecessary ornate elements, and proves that extraordinary beauty lies in simplicity.

Whether or not you’re a big fan of architecture, the spot has already promised an insta-worthy creation.

Good facade design solves a real problem—shade, privacy, identity—without announcing that it’s solving anything. The best background systems on a project work the same way.
