Issara Residence Rama 9 is an exclusive housing estate, with just 20 private residences, located in the heart of Bangkok. The design aims to offer an exquisitely serene environment from the moment one enters the compound. A single-row configuration offers privacy to each home, with a refreshing view of greenery opposite. This natural environment changes through the cycle of seasons, creating different daily atmospheres which permeates throughout the residence. Vernacular architecture provides solutions for energy efficiency through solar shading, natural ventilation, and other natural energy sources in the surroundings. The design of the house and the functional spaces within exude an overall aesthetic of a modern tropical house. This creates a comfort zone for an unostentatious modern lifestyle in tune with nature, a signature characteristic of “Issara.”

 

Shared Facilities

The concept for the Clubhouse at Issara Residence Rama 9 drew inspiration from a large timber log and occupies the length of the compound making it conveniently accessible from all residences. The 25-meter swimming pool is positioned above the main entrance gate to the estate and is encircled by vertical timber slats to provide privacy as well as a green wall on one side. A 100-square-meter fitness room is located on the level beneath. At the far end of the estate is a 57-meter-long stretch of garden, providing green space for recreation and relaxation as well as a safe playground for children away from the roadways.

 

The Residences

The houses are oriented on a north-south axis, in tune with the sun and wind paths in Thailand. Overhanging roofs and vertical slats offer shade and privacy as well as contributing to energy efficiency. This reduces indoor temperatures by 38% when compared to other homes with similar all-round glazing, enabling residents to enjoy a view of the natural surroundings in a cool and comfortable environment.

The 3.2-meter-high ceiling on the first floor gives a feeling of spaciousness and the super living-dining area, which spans 9 meters, also has a double height ceiling. This is connected to the outdoor area through full height glazing, allowing in natural light thus reducing the need for artificial illumination. The ceiling height on the second and third floors measures 2.9 meters and the design of each room ensures good ventilation. Solar slabs on the roof deck reflects the sun’s heat, helping to decrease heat gain and keeping the third story of the home cool.
