Rabbit Residence

Rabbit Residence

Rabbit Residence is an innovative architectural masterpiece located in Bangkok, Thailand, completed in 2017, that exemplifies a harmonious integration of interior and exterior spaces through a sophisticated arrangement of planar walls. This residential project, designed by acclaimed Thai architect Boonlert Hemvijitraphan, revolutionizes the concept of living spaces by creating a fluid, phenomenal landscape that challenges traditional boundaries between indoor and outdoor environments. The design's distinctive feature lies in its rhythmic composition of white plaster concrete walls with air captivity, complemented by vertical grooves in the floor that generate three-dimensional voids, facilitating a seamless spatial continuity throughout the 770-square-meter property. The residence employs premium materials including white Carrara marble, tempered glass with customized aluminum frames, and wood flooring, while incorporating innovative solutions such as concealed motorized mosquito nets for practical functionality. The project's technical excellence is demonstrated through careful attention to architectural details, such as the inverted slope design on top of the planar walls to prevent rain-induced discoloration, ensuring the pristine white appearance endures over time. This exceptional architectural achievement, recognized with a Silver A' Design Award in the Architecture, Building and Structure Design category, represents a significant advancement in residential architecture, particularly in its exploration of in-between spaces and their relationship with landscape design. The residence's fluid floor plan extends into the surrounding landscape, creating a dynamic living experience that constantly evolves with the interaction between built form and natural environment.
