ASWA — architectural studio of work – aholic — has designed a workplace with a collage facade for ta-tha-ta, a functional but playful thai brand bag, in bangkok. the 120 m2 project consists of 3.5 floors, where the first level is occupied by stocks. on the second floor, the space is used for assembling and a studio is located on the third floor with a mezzanine level intended to be a resting area. the small and narrow site has an existing big tree in the front yard of the property that contributes shading and a great view for the studio. with a 4-meter width, the building’s high gable roof tends to deflect the sun’s heat and provides extra relaxed space for the interior.

thai based studio ASWA has selected a variety of metal meshes as the main material for the collage facade which refers to ta-tha-ta’s identity. by providing an outline, the architects and client selected a mesh pattern to complete the design. a full height window behind the facade overlooks a variation pattern and the serenity of a big tree. for the interior decoration, the project team provides space, finished materials, and furniture completed by ta-tha-ta to showcase their genuine identity.
