The Wine Ayutthaya

Designed by Boonserm Premthada, the wine house is divided into four platforms, on different height, that serve as a vantage point for visitors to enjoy the beautiful view of the river.

The Wine Ayutthaya is a new leisure place dedicated to wine. The building was constructed to become a new tourist attraction in hopes of stimulating the economy of local communities surrounding this world heritage site, which was the capital city of Thailand 400 years ago.

A single story building blends in with existing large trees with carefully designed landscape. The building is 9 meters in height and 11 meters equally in width and length made entirely from steel-reinforced plywood. The interior of the wine house is divided into 4 platforms, with different height that serve as a vantage point for visitors to enjoy the beautiful view of the river from different angles, contrasting the interior with the exterior spaces.

The locally found wooden houses are the inspiration to create this steel-reinforced plywood structure. The knock-down waffle structure system which is visually light but structurally strong is being exposed through the design of floor, wall and roof. The waffle walls can be a light filter that helps cool down the interior atmosphere.
