From previous project, site analysis, Pranakorn district is a very conservative district with many regulations and law of how to make any change on buildings. The program would challenge the law and regulation which is night club (very contrast to what it should be). The selected shophouses are the one that connected to the main road and also the back building (no one walk pass unless you live in the soi). The front building would function as a tea house which is very normal, but in order to go to the night club, you have to go to second floor which have a tunnel that connect you to the back building.
Each floor of the back shophouse would function differently, lounge, transition area, and night club. Atmosphere will gradually change slowly.
I focused most on the night club, normally when you go to night club you will be less-conscious. Therefore, I would like to create that feelings to the extreme, which is to make planes around you become freeform. Walls and floor could act as furniture such as table and chair. The more you go down to the first floor (night club), the more you will be unconscious (according to the modular man, table and chairs will be really hard to use - too low or too high).

| Tunnel to the back building |
In the first building, material used would be like others normal shophouse which is wood. On the second floor is the entrance to the back building.
 |
As you walk into the back building, third floor, it will be a lounge: stages of desire: curiosity, mystery, desire
|
As you go into the back building, the atmosphere is still very the same, it is a lounge. Material used would be in concrete cover with leather. Red colour from downstairs would make people want to know whats down there. There are also visual access that you could look down stairs and see some parts of downstairs too.
 |
transition floor, second floor, stages of desire: want to know more
|
First half of the stairs is very normal but another half is quite hard to walk (need more concentration).
There are two ways to walk down to another floor, one is to another mezzanine and another is the first floor. Stairs that are in front of you as you walk down the stairs to the mezzanine is the one that make you waste time and have to walk back to another stairs to go down to the first floor (mezzanine: very close to the first floor but you can't walk down - hard to reach = want to go down more).
Materials would be hard foam and cover with leather, more soft.
 |
night club, first floor. Stages of desire: unreachable, untouchable, and more desire
|
Unreachable and untouchable is another stages of desire, when you is on the mezzanine. On the first floor will use a soft sponge and leather which will is very soft and hard to walk or sit on - need lots of concentration. This is the stage of unconscious when you walk in. Stairs are different in height and also lots of curves. This floor will need most concentration on stay.

| Exploded axonometric |
Yellow colour represent visual access, red colour represent circulation. Stairs are different from each other, the more you are closer to the first floor is the more you need to concentrate while walk down the stairs.

| Entrance to the front building, tea shop |
There would be a red dot that is a hidden sign about the back building. Environment of the teashop would be very old, and traditional.
 |
| Entrance to back building, and lounge |
On the entrance to the back building, there will be a button of 'touch' and 'don't touch' (related to the installation). If you touch, the door will be open to the lounge in the back building. A red tunnel would lead you to the lounge of a white,, more modern and clean atmosphere.
 |
| visual access and transition floor |
The visual access on the third floor (lounge) would make you curious about what's down stairs. Transition floor will have some parts of walls and floor that bulge out and become chairs and tables. Light from downstairs make you become even more curious and want to go downstairs.

 |
| First floor, night club, unconscious |
Wall, floor and ceiling are bulged out, freeform. The more you go in, the bulge out part is hard to be used (hard to sit, hard to put things on - unconscious (modular man)). Material used are very soft, need more concentration.
