This project began with the owner’s vision for more living space in the future, as the current home shared with his parents might not meet those needs.
Reflecting on the past, he realized that the old house where he grew up, still unsold and located in the same village with friendly neighbors, could be the
perfect foundation for his new project. The original house was a one and a half story duplex, blending wood and concrete, facing south, and designed for
excellent ventilation. Inspired, he decided to start fresh by removing the existing structure and building a new home from the ground up.
His first request to the architect was to optimize air circulation throughout the house. His second request was for a 45 degree roofline, as he felt this design
captured a harmony between modern and traditional Thai aesthetics. To incorporate both concepts, the architect divided the house into two distinct modules
to achieve a balanced composition with the 45 degree roof. The left module reflects a modern aesthetic with a flat roof, while the right module features the
requested 45 degree roofline. This design approach helped to create a cohesive overall structure, enhancing the massing and shape of the house.
Views were another key consideration. Surrounded by 30 year old houses, there were few angles for open views. The architect addressed this by introducing
small open spaces within the house to let in natural light from above, creating a soft sunlit effect during the day while maintaining privacy at night.
The living and dining area is the highlight of the home, offering the largest open space with a view of the outdoor garden and garage. One of the owner’s
passions is collecting vintage cars, and he wanted the ability to admire them from the comfort of the living room. To fulfill this wish, the architect designed
a view from the living area that frames his vintage car collection, adding a personal and meaningful touch to the space. This story and these concepts have
shaped this compact house into a cherished home.
