Pick up fragments of life then describe good time

In my view, the key to a well-designed space is the people, rather than storage, budget, or style. It’s about how well the homeowners connect with the space. When people feel free to express themselves in their environment, a sense of relaxation and belonging naturally follows. I’ve seen many meticulously designed spaces that are spotless, but they make me feel uneasy, as if my presence disrupts the perfection. Everything is set up so perfectly that the people in the space become secondary, needing to conform to the environment. But it should be the other way around—people should define the character of the space, looking ahead from their current lifestyle to anticipate future needs, and reverse-engineering the layout and flow of the home.

Harudot By Nana Coffee Roasters
Harudot is a stand-alone café in Chonburi, a famous beachside town in Thailand. This cafe is a result of a collaboration between the Nana Coffee Roasters brand owner and the landlord, who has a particular interest in plants with unique forms. The name “Haru” translates to “Spring” in Japanese, referring to “new beginning” and “growth,” while “Dot” symbolizes a “starting point.”

Q: Could you share with us the core philosophy of Vector Architects? How do you communicate this philosophy to the team and translate it into design?
Dong: Instilling a shared philosophy within the team to practice design is a lengthy process. As the firm revolves around my design thinking, it requires injecting energy into a group of thirty to forty young architects who originally had diverse learning paths and different perspectives on architecture. For instance, we place significant emphasis on construction quality. In every project, we deploy on-site architects so they can gradually appreciate Vector Architects' meticulous requirements for quality and precision. This serves as daily training for young architects because, besides possessing creative imagination, impulse, and aspirations, architects also need the resilience to handle everyday trivialities.

Drakoni House est.1864
In the interior space, the Venetian arch dominates, being preserved entirely intact with the wear and patina of time imprinted on it and stands in a central position, around which the two-room residence is developed and organized. The interior walls, where it was deemed necessary, are covered with hydraulic plaster, to ensure the air permeability of the building. Following the same strategy on the outer structure, the signs of modernity arise punctually and naturally due to the inevitable functional readjustment.
