SARNIES SOURDOUGH

The design narrative of Sarnies Roastery is intricately woven with the rich context of its location on Tonson Road, a significant thoroughfare within Bangkok’s bustling business district. This nuanced approach is not merely a reflection of the site but a sophisticated dialogue with its surroundings, capturing the essence of the urban environment while integrating local influences.

Pinklao Shophouse reimagines an aging five-and-a-half-storey shophouse as a multigenerational home—transforming a once utilitarian urban shell into a warm, vertically layered residence for a family and their extended family. Rather than resisting the inherent proportions of the shophouse typology, the design embraces its narrow footprint and stacked structure, using each level as a distinct yet interconnected domain. The ground floor is conceived as the communal heart of the house, where dining, kitchen, and service functions are organized around everyday gathering and shared rituals, while the mezzanine is inserted as a dedicated office layer overlooking the space below, establishing a quieter zone for work without losing connection to the life of the home.

Conceived as an intimately attuned sanctuary for a family of four—and their diminutive, long-standing four-legged companion—Olive House is a meditation on the quiet luxury of everyday life. More than a residence, it is a spatial composition of light, texture, and restraint—where architecture and interior design work in concert to support the rituals of domesticity, the nuances of personality, and the comforting rhythms of family routine.
