small residence in rural Thailand is a perfect blend of serenity and innovative design. The villa not only integrates with its natural surroundings but also redefines sustainable living in a modern context. The home’s site extends linearly, a characteristic that presented unique design challenges. However, this linearity also offered an opportunity to create a series of interconnected spaces that enhance the living experience. Our design strategy was to break this linearity by introducing open spaces between different built structures. These spaces serve as transitional zones that blur the boundaries between the indoors and outdoors. They foster a range of leisure activities, from quiet reading corners to areas for vibrant social interactions, all while being bathed in natural light and cooled by breezes passing through brick lattice walls. The spaces are thoughtfully arranged in a hierarchy, ensuring privacy where needed, and openness where it enhances the user experience. --ar 3:2
