Owner approach of sustainability

The Thai Health Center aims to promote interaction to encourage the exchange of learning at all of its work partners in order to create well-being in people’s lives, beginning with a focus on individuals and expanding results to families, communities and the wider society.

Architectural description

Inherited from traditional Thai house, internal court is designed to create self-shading for each room. Narrow floor plate to maximize benefit from daylight. Movable shading is programmed to keep external glazing shaded all time and also view provided. Roof coating is highly reflective to reduce heat island effects. Water saving fixtures are selected.

If you had to do it again?

Glass roof under a pond to have natural light in the basement. This was a good idea but due to inexperience in this domain, there is water leakage, and it damages the wall and the paint.

Indoor Air quality

Airflow sensors are installed at the outdoor air inlets to confirm that outdoor air intake will function as designed. Additionally, CO2 sensors are equipped in densely occupied space such as meeting room and be able to alarm when carbondioxide concentration exceeds limit. All materials, coating, adhesive and sealants for indoor use are complied with VOC limit by SCQMD rule#1168. Building flush-out is performed before occupancy to ensure that air will not be polluted by construction activities.

Health & Comfort

Health & comfort : Light shelf along with tilted ceiling is designed to gain more benefit from daylight as the daylight can go deeper in to the room depth. Furthermore, the light shelf also acts as shading for windows. Private office is partitioned by glass to allow the open-plan inside access to view.
