Thai kid's Den

One of 24H Architects’ newest projects is a den for children in Thailand, made from various bamboo and Rotan sculptures.

The following pictures show plans for the den as well as various different aspects of the newly constructed project. This project for a 6 star hotel resort is located on Koh Kood, an island in the Gulf of Thailand. The design of the various parts of this project adapts to the humid tropical climate and the available construction techniques by using local materials and building
solutions.

This green approach applies to the whole project, all the different buildings blend into their unique surroundings: the rainforest and the seaside. The Kids Den will house different activity programs for kids. The program is split in two parts, one with the
video games and a library, the other with a cinema, table games, an ice cream parlor and bathroom facilities. The objective was to find an organic shape that would
function as an enclosed children’s playground and an exciting sculpture in itself. From the rocky slope, the Kids Den seems to be flying towards the sea, referring
to the manta ray below.

The Eco Suite is a family of sculptures in the forest, like a bunch of wasp nests hanging between the trees. Each structure is made from bamboo poles and a woven
bamboo net structure, shaping the general form and keeping the façade open for natural ventilation. The treetop dining consists of four hung bamboo structures in the top of the trees for a sunset dinner overlooking the Thai bay.
