Set upon pristine Natai Beach on the west coast of Phang Nga province in Thailand, this villa is a clean interpretation of contemporary tropical living.

With the overriding concept to create a home that opens up to embrace the outdoors in a seamless composition, the design evolved to focus on the stunning view out to the Andaman Sea and the central swimming pool.  The main living area is positioned at one end of this pool and can completely open up, front and rear, allowing the almost constant monsoon breeze to cool the space and draw air through the other rooms of the house.

This central living space has become the heart of the home with doors that pocket into the adjacent walls to create a fantastic feeling of openness.  Access to all areas of the villa, whether indoors or out, is via this pivotal area.

Glass, steel, concrete and wood are the primary materials and have been carefully brought together to create a simple, yet elegant aesthetic that is in sympathy with the serenity and drama of this outstanding location.

The main entrance is through this space and access to all areas of the home, whether indoors or out, is via this pivotal area.

The client’s desire for a dynamic, contemporary, tropical villa, that feels open and exciting, has been fulfilled in a composition that embraces the local climate and a free and easy vacation lifestyle.
