Living with Nature was The Main Thrust of The Client’s Brief
Living with nature was the main thrust of the client’s brief, and the program comprises 6 bedrooms, a large living and dining area, entertainment room, swimming pool and service quarters. Each function had to be orientated in a specific direction in order to achieve diferent panoramic views of Chawen Noi, Samui, while keeping the entire area secured within eyesight of the owners.
With the house’s location in Samui serving as inspiration, along with the sloped contour of the site at Chaweng Noi beach, the planning of the house was designed to overlap and twist in respond to the terrain as well as the panoramic views. Details of the house were also developed from natural elements stacking masses and roofs, patterns on the floor and walls, and a variety of natural materials. The design intention was for the house to blend in with the environment as much as possible but at the same time, ofer all the comforts of a modern home.
