"Transforming unused space into connected family suites with tropical aesthetics, creating a serene vacation retreat that embraces natural materials and courtyard living."
The NNH project breathes new life into the underutilized ground floor of a resort-style residence in Nakhon Nayok. This dormant space has been transformed into a purpose-built vacation retreat where family and guests can reconnect in comfort.
The design centers around two thoughtfully configured "Family Type" suites, each featuring dual master bedrooms, a communal living area, and an intimate reading nook. These spaces balance privacy with togetherness, accommodating multi-generational families or friend groups.
A central courtyard serves as both connector and divider between the suites, improving cross-ventilation while reducing humidity—a practical consideration for Thailand's tropical climate. This green oasis brings natural elements inside, creating visual breathing space amid the built environment.
The material palette embraces the home's tropical character through natural woods and stone, while clean white surfaces maximize light reflection and spatial perception. Strategic lighting enhances the warmth of wood elements during evening hours.
This transformation embodies a commitment to functional beauty, creating spaces that serve both practical needs and emotional well-being through thoughtful tropical design principles.
