Design Element
The main component of standard Billboard house is composed by a trailer base as a moveable base for 3 storey house within the billboard structure. For the exterior first side of its façade is composed with trivision billboard. It can change the image on both sides that make it as a kinetic façade create a different pattern on both side of the house. For another side is composed by Thai style blending iron which normally found in house of a big city. This blending iron can be moved and create a different pattern. And up to the top is covered with solar cell roof as a main energy source for the house.
For the interior space, the aim of our design is to utilize all space sufficiently. For the first floor is designed for a living space including a set of home theater, pantry, bathroom and terrace. Next is the second floor is more private, designed for bedroom which has the storage under the bed platform and working area on the mezzanine. Both floors are linked with the stair which utilized underneath space for storage and also a big void to create double volume space and also the set of hydroponic plant on the handrail for the main source of food.
