BONKAI SUSTAINABLE URBAN INFORMAL COMMUNITY

THAILAND

DESCRIPTION

The Bon Kai Community Housing Project is a low-income housing development located in the Bon Kai area, a key economic zone in central Bangkok surrounded by Lumpini Park, Benjakitti Park, and the One Bangkok integrated real estate project. As this area continues to grow as a major commercial district that contributes to national economic value, it is essential to design housing that responds appropriately to the local context. The project aims to create a balance between being part of Bangkok’s economic center and preserving the identity of a traditional community, which can serve as soft power to elevate Bon Kai into a creative economic district. The proposal introduces shared residential buildings adapted to the community’s way of life, while strengthening the local economy and improving connections to nearby commercial areas. In addition, the project develops a financial system and management model that enables community organizations to manage residential and economic spaces, allowing cross-subsidization and supporting long-term economic improvement and quality of life for residents.
