KOB PLUK VILLA

KOB PLUK VIIIA 


 


The KOB PLUK VILLA (2015-2017) is an iconic work of modern Khmer architecture.

It was designed by renowned modern architect Hun Phanha in 2015 and was the first home he designed in Cambodia. The house site in Phnom Penh.

Kob Pluk Villa is importan because it challenged the idea of a conventional home. Simply put, it was so starkly different from homes that people were familiar with at that time. The home embodied the philosophy and language of modern architecture down to every detail. It was one of the purest examples of modern architecture that had been realized and constructed up to that point in history.

Phanha believed that his architecture must be objective, impersonal, quiet and simple space, a backdrop against which each individual and all human life in its great complexities can develop freely _and develop in changing ways, from generation to generation.



Our approach to breaking down the overall volume of the building involves setting back terraces at irregular intervals and across different levels. This deliberate design choice enhances the permeability of the essentially rectilinear structure.



allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into the surrounding nature. The studied informality of this approach invokes the concept of an overgrown ruin, further emphasized by the thoughtful planting of terraces, introducing a timeless quality to the architecture. The terraces are not only designed for aesthetic appeal but also serve a practical purpose. Equipped with planters, they enable self-sustainable cultivation of vegetable gardens, with 80% of the plantings consisting of native species. These green spacess bring the building to life, fostering a sense of community. Shared public spaces, comprising nearly half of the site, are dedicated to promoting wellness, recreation, and sports-an integral aspect of The village's design

INSIDE OUT HOUSING

  The glass house has become an icon of Modern architecture, representing a move towards a certain purity of form, galvanised by distinctly mechanistic materials. At their core these innovative designs were, however, machines for living, built to serve as homes, enfolding and elevating the daily rhythms of domestic life.They're simultaneously true architectural marvels as well as containers for the lives and spirits of those forthese pioneering places. We've collected a few of our favourites to delve a little deeper into life behind theglass walls. It's a format that allows inhabitants to feel truly immersed in the landscape, looking out alongclear lines of sight and allowingthe architecture itself to fall away around them.

Brick Row Houses

Image
  Wrapped in a white skin of perforated blocks, the Brick row House is the result of a renovation of one of the previous generic row houses within a once expensive urban area that was hit by an economic crisis in Cambodia . The architects make use of passive solar design principles as well as expert space planning to create a bright and spacious 50 bedroom townhouse that is superbly ventilated, offers privacy, security and a fair amount of garden space, a far cry from its former self. The previous block was clustered and somewhat complicated, so the designers basically cleared out the ground floor (labeled as first floor on the drawings), situating utilities and vertical circulation along the west wall, to create and fairly large open plan living area with lots of daylight and great cross ventilation, while the spaces at the front and the rear of the home were preserved as parking garage and garden respectively. They also added an extra floor...

The lessons of history are important. I’d like to be responsible for the quote that if you want to look far ahead, first look far back, and then be aware that you’re designing for the present, but you’re also designing for a future which is unknown. អគារសហសម័យ ទម្រង់រចនាបទបុរាណខ្មែរ កម្វុជទេឝ (អានថា:កាំវុជៈទេស)រឺ សម័យអង្គរ គឺជាសម័យកាលមួយ ដែលកម្ពុជាគឺជាអាណាចក្រមួយនៅក្នុងចំណោមអាណាចក្រដែលមានឥទ្ធិពលបំផុត​នៅអាស៊ីអាគ្នេយ៍ ដោយបានលូតលាស់ចេញពីអតីតនគរកម្វុជ(ចេនឡា)។ កេរ្តិ៍ដំណែលដ៏អស្ចារ្យបំផុតមួយរបស់អាណ...
