This example represents a traditional Thai-style stilt house with modern elements. The facade is characterized by a harmonious combination of natural materials: wooden walls made of teak or other local timber with their warm reddish-brown hue contrast with the concrete base and supports.
Architecturally, the building is divided into two levels: a lower, open floor on concrete pillars, creating a shaded multipurpose space, and an upper residential floor with a wooden facade. Particularly noteworthy is the wide veranda with wooden railings, which not only serves a functional role but also creates a transitional zone between the interior and the surrounding tropical nature.
The roof with its characteristic overhangs and slight slope is adapted to the tropical climate, protecting the walls from rain and direct sunlight. The facade is balanced by symmetrical window openings with wooden frames, providing natural lighting and ventilation to the interior space.
Among the techniques that can be borrowed for your own project: using an elevated first floor for protection against humidity; combining materials (wood and concrete) to create visual interest; integrating a covered veranda as an extension of the living space; applying large windows to connect with the surrounding environment; using natural tones that harmoniously blend into the landscape.
