A house within an ecosystem
An elongated plan turns toward the water. Its intersecting wings create connections across the landscape, while an open-air passage gives each part of the house a distinct sense of place.
Climate becomes space
Elevated floors, a pitched roof and deep shelter draw on Thai vernacular principles. Glazed openings maintain the relationship between the interior and the surrounding landscape.
A precise model, a human hand
The entrance wall brings computational geometry into contact with locally made brick. The design accommodates the irregularity of the material and the practical knowledge of the people laying it.
