Also, it sets a dialogue in a subtle way with the urban context of the street and the neighborhood. With this, the house becomes the commercial space (public) and an access door to the house. This gesture achieves the functional connection of the program and respect for the urban strip of the street, while the original courtyard functions as the articulator of the project and the lobby of the housing building.

Sanambinnam House, designed by the architectural firm Archimontage Design Fields Sophisticated, is a residence in Nonthaburi. The apartment is not high but quite messy while the surrounding houses are very close to the property. Three to four wall panels are installed by running perpendicular to the direction of the main entrance. This structure provides privacy from neighbours, creates rhythmic pattern and adds more layers of privacy for each part inside the house. Like the tree in the middle of the house, the use of wood-plastic composites helps reducing hardness of the building.
