Building

Grand Garuda Room – Formal Dining Room

The Garuda Room is a formal dining room. Inside, the room features the Garuda, a work of art by Silpa Bhirasri and his students, standing prominently and commandingly at the head of the room. It is surrounded by eight uniquely patterned round carved wooden pillars, works of art by Thawan Duchanee. In addition, there are several other works by Thawan Duchanee at the back of the room, such as a 2-meter oil painting that depicts Prince Siddartha’s stripping off regalia, known as the Great Departure or Mahabhinishkramana, to seek the Dharma of liberation to alleviate his suffering and others, until he succeeded in becoming the Enlightened Buddha.  Also, two knives have been designed with inspiration from the shapes of metal from two types of animals, with handles that are fangs or horns in natural shapes, which are characteristic of Thawan’s. There are also four paintings about Garuda by Patdanu Temeekul, adorning both sides of the room, and a Bas-relief sculpture of Narayana in a relaxed pose, specially designed for the Garuda room.

The Parlour – Living Room

A modern-style lounge decorated with soft, soothing colors such as light parquet wood, light-colored wallpaper, and a white Flos Zeppelin S1 chandelier designed by Marcel Wanders in 2005, along with vintage furniture. This is to amplify the art within the room to stand out beautifully and catch the eye. The art in the room consists of works from master artists and outstanding artists such as Chalood Nimsamer, Uab Sanasen, Sawat Tantisuk, Chamruang Vichienket, especially the significant collection of works by Preecha Taotong from the year 2015 to the present, and others, perfectly showcasing the identity of the artists.

The Study Room

Study Room is Sermkhun’s private workspace enhanced with a Victorian Study Room style. It is decorated in an Eclectic style with furniture of various shapes, materials, and styles from different eras perfectly arranged together. The uniqueness of the room can be felt not just in the replication of a Western Victorian Study Room but in the furniture's diversity and the layout style, creating an atmosphere that blends both Eastern and Western elements. Inside the room, a multitude of artworks are arranged, such as the sculptures of Professor Silpa Bhirasri, Khien Yimsiri, and paintings by Vasan Sitthiket. Additionally, it houses a collection of sculptures and paintings by an important Cubism artist in Asia, Sompot Upa-in. Furthermore, there are five pieces by Montien Boonma, an artist particularly admired by the homeowner, on display. These works range from the beginning of his career as an artist to the last series of his life.

Kacha Lounge – Music Lounge

Kacha Lounge is a room designed for listening to music or hosting parties within a home. It is split into 2 levels and can accommodate up to 60 people. The ceiling of the room is adorned with reflective glass, which adds dimension to the room making it appear more spacious and open. Upon entering the first floor of the room, to the right, you will find a bar counter that blends the vintage charm of the early twenty century’s fireplace with modern marble style. Both the upper and lower floors are decorated with various sets of vintage furniture and vintage styles, creating a diverse atmosphere scattered throughout the room.

The highlight of the room is the placement of the 'Kacha' sculpture in the center, surrounded by surrealist art from a variety of artists differing in era and nationality, creating a blend of cultures. Interspersed around are pictures of 'people' in various moods or postures, intentionally corresponding to the room's function of accommodating a diverse group of people. Striking and well-matched with the reflection technique of the mirrored ceiling, complemented by a large stainless sculpture by Thanomchit Chumwong.

Sermkhun’s Studio - Sermkhun's Art Workshop

In addition to being an art collector, Sermkhun is also a creator of art himself. Inside this studio, various aspects of his artistic work are displayed, such as woodblock print works, sketches, line drawings, and several sets of contemporary photographs.

The Gallery - Art Exhibition Room

The gallery, an art exhibition area on the 5th floor of the Cubic building, is designed as a high-ceiling room with a dome cast in concrete over an X-shaped steel frame. Surrounded by glass walls to let in natural light, it displays works from various Thai artists such as, Gongkan, Parn-Somnuek Klangnok, Toh-M.L.Jirathorn Jiraprawat, Phatyos Buddhacharoen, Inson Wongsam, Yuree Kensaku, Niam Mawornkanong, Kamol Tassananchalee, Michael Shaowanasai, Mod-Nisa Srikhamdee, Pinaree Sanpitak, and Lole-Taweesak Srithongdee.

Grand Staircase Hall

At the very top of the staircase hall, there is a concrete dome that opens to receive natural light from outside, supported by X-shaped columns. From above, one can see a spiral staircase, and the walls and polished mustard-colored stone floors provide an intriguing and unusual perspective.
