Project Description
FROM THE ARCHITECTS:
T House is a vacation house close to Chao Samran beach. The house is for big family vacations. The owner has a total of four siblings and each has their own family with two kids, altogether there is more than ten people if they spend their time here together on their leisure. The main function of this house is for parties, dining and resting. The architects designed it under the thought of sharing space. While everyone is doing their own activity in any corner, each can be seen and talk to each other as if they are at the same space.
The design begins with a layout with enclosed spaces of three master bedrooms and happens to be the common area at the center, which opens views to the sea and to the non-heat direction at the North. The bedrooms also act as shading that block sunlight from the South and West to the main common area. One of the bedrooms on ground floor serves the continuity of living space and also convenient for the elders not to hike to upstairs. The wall of the three bedrooms are designed to fully open, in which the entire area of the house becomes a single space where the activity flows throughout the house both upper and lower. The materials used for the bedrooms were wood, which lie continuously from inside to outside. On the exterior view, the bedrooms apparently stand out as three wooden boxes, and they are divided only by the glass which is to control the air flow.
The interior was considered by the owner’s functions and lifestyles. The dining table is adaptable for multiple uses. The bedrooms serve many people staying simultaneously. The rope net at the stairs is for the kids to play around.
