Slabs tilt into stairways, facades turn to pavement, and doors morph into furniture: Every element is utilised. Thoravej 29 is a building that repurposes itself and highlights reused components by amplifying what already exists.
This book follows the transformation of a former factory from 1967 into a vibrant community. It documents everything – from the initial analysis of the existing structure to the retention and repurposing of 95% of its materials based on their inherent qualities – resulting in both a coherent physical space and an experimental pursuit of systemic change.
