Baan Issara Bangna is a modern tropical style residential estate. Setback 15 meters from the main road, ample green space at the entrance and a clubhouse nestled among large trees presents an inviting welcome. Materials were selected to create a feeling of an established forest, with large timber-like panels which are both magnificently striking and in harmony with its surroundings. The energy efficient clubhouse design is inspired by the Principles of Nature, creating a natural atmosphere, both indoor and outdoor, which offers comfort to the body and mind. It is indeed the underlying concept of Baan Issara.
These large timber-like panels, fabricated from metal composite, are not only decorative features, but also serve to offer shade to the building, enabling optimum use of the semi-outdoor spaces. The trees surrounding the building further offer shade and enhances the clubhouse’s environment, providing a space for interaction amongst the residents.
This concept is also extended to the design of the residences. Full-length windows connect the living room to the private pool when opened, creating a common recreation area where the household can enjoy quality time together. These windows are positioned to enable cross ventilation, reducing the need for air-conditioning. Most walls feature floor to ceiling glazing allowing natural light into the interior, and high ceilings serve as a natural cooling system. All this contributes to energy efficiency and a pleasant sense of spaciousness.
On the exterior, the roof eaves extend 1.20 meters, using the same timber-like material. The length of the eaves reduces heat within the building by 25% when compared to other housing with similar surface areas of façade glazing. This offers natural lighting without heat accumulation. The backyard area is also designed to be as aesthetically welcoming and functional as the front garden, which is spacious enough to accommodate up to five cars.
