This house is located in the Amphawa District, Samut Songkhram Province, on approximately 2.5 rai of land, with a 30 meter width near the
Mae Klong River the lifeblood of the Amphawa community. The land’s rear entrance is bordered by neighboring coconut groves, lending a shady, natural
atmosphere. With its relatively narrow width and limited river view, the designer chose a layout that preserves an open green yard along the riverfront,
creating a broader visual distance between the house and the river for a more comfortable experience. The house is oriented along its length to maximize
views of the river and allow natural airflow from the north and south, while solid walls on the extraction side reduce heat from the sun.
Historically, the river served as a primary route for transportation and trade and remains in use today, albeit to a lesser extent. The front of the residence
faces the river, with the rear facing the road. The entry road curves gently toward the house, gradually drawing the eye to the home and parking area.
A “long hallway” leads to the house, with a direct view of the Mae Klong River at its end. Designed as a “wind tunnel,” this hallway allows breezes from
the north and south, creating a refreshing atmosphere for an outdoor dining and relaxation area near the river. It parallels the swimming pool, which is set
perpendicular to the Mae Klong River. The far end of the pool features an overflow edge, creating the effect of the river’s surface flowing into the house’s
tree court. The water from the river seems to pour in, connecting the interior with nature and embodying the idea that “The Mae Klong River is the life of
the Amphawa people.” A staircase within the tree court leads to the swimming pool from inside, linking the pool’s water surface with the river, giving the
sensation of swimming directly into the Mae Klong River.
This residence offers approximately 1,000 square meters of usable space. The first floor includes an open-plan living and dining area with the widest
possible views of the lawn and river. It connects to the “long hallway” and “kitchen,” with the kitchen centrally placed to link the dining area with the
hallway and pool for outdoor gatherings. Near the water’s edge, there is a separate mooring space, gym, and guest room to maintain privacy from the main
house. The second floor’s central section serves as a family room for watching TV and unwinding in the evening. This room has views of the central tree
court, a skylight above, and the swimming pool, and it serves as the passage to the master and children’s bedrooms. From the master bedroom, there are
views of both the river and the first-floor living area, maintaining visual continuity throughout the space.
The house is designed in a modern yet contemporary Thai style, emphasizing open glass panels for expansive views, and features a long hallway with teak
wood on both the floor and ceiling. Columns capture the early morning shadows as they reflect off the pool. The roof conceals ventilation beneath the eaves,
blending functionality with design. Together, these elements convey a sense of tropical architecture, balancing modernity with comfort.
