Project: LiveInn Nong Khai
Posted By Alec on July 19, 2011
We have now finalised the exterior styling and interior layout for the design of the new “LiveInn Hotel” building. Although the general style of the design has remained largely unchanged from the initial concept I prepared, the building has grown in size, from six storeys to eight stories. The ground floor will be for parking and the mechanical room. Second floor will house the reception, coffee shop, gym and conference facilities. There will then be 5 floors of accommodation, each consisting of 14 standard rooms and two suites, 80 rooms in total. On the top floor there will be a large restaurant and some hotel services areas.
Having finalised the architectural design, our engineers are now progressing with the structural engineering of the building. With the client, we are now turning our attention to the detailed interior design work. We are hoping to have the interior design complete by mid August, which will then allow us to move on to detailed electrical and plumbing engineering and other hotel services.
We are aiming for an initial draft drawing set ready for review in September.
Project: Modern 2 Bedroom 2 Storey Home (Thip Thani)
Posted By Alec on July 19, 2011
As I wrote in a previous post, with this project we had completed a very rough concept and were on hold untl our client found an appropriate plot of land. Well, they have now secured a plot of land in Thip Thani. This will actually be our fourth construction project in this increasingly popular ‘Moo Baan’, located about 5km outside Nong Khai town center.
It can be difficult to design a house without knowing the position, orientation and size of land on which it is to be built. However, in this case the size and layout of the initial design fit perfectly onto the clients chosen plot. However, I have substantial redesigned the exterior styling of the home following further consultation with our client. The architectural design work is now complete and we have now commenced the structural engineering work in order to produce a full set of construction drawings.
We are planning to begin construction some time in August.
Project: Modern Style 2 Bedroom 1 Storey Home (Nong Kom Ko)
Posted By Alec on July 18, 2011
We have now almost finished the interior and exterior rendering of our project in Nong Kom Ko. The next step will be to begin installing the suspended gypsum ceiling and the bathroom tiling and fitting. As I mentioned in a previous post, tiling in the rest of the house and carpentry work will be carried out by third party contractors.
