A three-story house situated amidst the bustling area of Rama 3. The exterior of the house is designed with a clean form, reducing unnecessary ornamentation, but hiding intricacy in every detail such as the lines dividing the plastered sections to prevent wall cracking, connecting with light brown window frames, and those lines continuing along the beam and floor lines, following standard house construction practices. Meanwhile, the house's shape is designed to look light and airy, despite being a three-story building.
Although the land area is only 208 square meters, the house is surrounded by green spaces, which not only create a shady atmosphere but also act as a natural curtain that filters noise and pollution. This creates a sense of privacy, feeling like being in a rural area while actually being in a house in the city center. The garden around the house is neatly arranged, with large trees providing shade from the front of the house that receives sunlight almost all day. There are areas around the trees that can be trimmed from root to crown, through openings designed for maintenance, and a concrete roof that can be stood on to trim branches and repair the top floor roof in the future.
The interior is arranged simply yet perfectly balanced. Every piece of furniture is designed and placed with emphasis on completing the house's composition, while maintaining a gentle green tone matching the trees, creating a relaxing feeling in harmony with the context.
With a design coupled with energy-saving concepts, the light openings are designed appropriately, allowing natural light to shine through all day without needing to turn on lights during the day. This makes the interior space look more spacious through its open plan characteristics.
At different times of the day, light and shadow play together to create varying atmospheres, casting shadows on textured walls, giving a sense of connection with the nature outside. Moreover, the house's shape and the proportion of openings are designed to align with usage and sun direction, reducing direct heat entering the house. This led to winning an energy-saving house award from the Ministry of Energy in 2024.
This house is thus a conclusion of a simple design that doesn't require highly skilled contractors; just precise basic construction can follow the design. It reflects that beauty doesn't necessarily come from complexity, but from careful selection and arrangement, responding to both functionality and aesthetics, creating a living space that is simple yet special in everyday life.
