WANFA House+Gallery Shop

WANFA House+Gallery Shop, or the ‘House of Insight’ was designed for a spectacle shop owner on the suburban plot outside of Bangkok.  The design intention was to build under limited budget.  The house divided into two sections, the shop and the house, whereas the house was dominated by the internal tree court resembling Thai traditional house, with crossover bridge to the bedrooms, from the shopfront the bridge and the tree can be seen.  There’s an elapse of time when public and private spaces connect and merge through the visual ‘gateway.’

Thai art-inspired Guerilla graphic art


“Catter The Venus” is a traditional Siamese Cat. She likes fishes, and she means fishes, not fillet burgers! After visiting Japan, I wish Thai art, design and architecture can become more accessible. Japanese they transform their legendary and mythical creatures into cute, consumable products and art.

Alien Attack captured in Bangkok!

A snapshot of Aliens hideously peeping around in the city of Bangkok.  No reports on potential attack and evacuation plan, but sure this made Bangkok literally a “Hot Zone.”
