Floating House

A life gently cradled on the water. The Floating House embraces a sustainable lifestyle and offers a unique perspective on the natural world.

Floating House is located on a plot of 6 rai in Wang Nam Khiao district, Nakhon Ratchasima Province. It is an area that my parents liked and intend to live here after retirement. Here there will be projects to expand into more than 10 villas in the future.

I was in charge of the design concept and construction of the Master Plan and the first house, and consultant in the design process of the next houses - especially for my parents who want to Provence style houses and take care of the garden and landscape around.

The First house is divided into two sections, one that looks like a pavilion and the other section for prayer. Initially, this area was a sloping hill, so the hill was added to support the weight of the house. The building was designed to look like floating off the ground all the time. One side floats above the water surface of the excavated lotus pond, and the other side protruding from the mound. The interior design and decoration in the living room gives you a great view from the inside, a view that makes me feel like I’m living in a house floating in the sky.
