The AGAL Gallery, originally a well-preserved two-story home built over 30 years ago, now stands as a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity. When the designer was tasked with renovating the space to reflect AGAL's distinctive identityan elegant fusion of Thai-Chinese design the approach was centered on preserving the building's original structure while adding contemporary touches.Save this picture!The result is a seamless integration of old-world charm with new-age sophistication. The home's layout, featuring long, narrow rooms, lent itself perfectly to a showroom design. The designer reimagined the space by creating a central hallway that connects the rooms while incorporating AGAL's signature handcrafted materials throughout the interior. This design not only respects the original architecture but also adds a fresh modernity that defines the AGAL Gallery.Save this picture!Save this picture!Alongside the renovation of the home, a modern photography studio, "Saeng Ngao Sathan" (Place of Light and Shadow), was added next to the gallery. The studio, designed to reflect the owner's passion for photography, complements the gallery while introducing a contrasting minimalist style. Both the renovated gallery and the new studio are equally integral to the project, with the two spaces connected through a shared gathering area under a waffle roof, creating a harmonious blend of antique and modern aesthetics.Save this picture!Save this picture!The AGAL Gallery is more than just a furniture studio; it is a celebration of Oriental design and craftsmanship.
