Manora is traditional Thai theatrical, musical, and acrobatic dance performance originated from the southern regions of Thailand. The literary meaning of Manora is Minds Guider, we focus on the performance of Manora dance which has some unique gesture and pattern then create the conceptual design from it. The hand gesture show the modesty, gentleness and delicacy which reflects into the physical shape and form like curve line or flow shape. The architecture units try to represent it while maintaining the luxury and spacious function in each of them.
The Orientation is the key, as the site area limit the shape so the challenge is how to make these typical type units can respond the user in the same way.
The Mass of the unit act to reflect the natural air ventilation and have twist form to create the face in some part interlocking and make new void and opening to reflect natural light and for visual perception. As to provide rich atmosphere to the building itself, the element need to consider and put together in the design such as The High Ceiling, the middle courtyard, wide space, play with the level to separate bedroom and living area.
