Viewed from the road, the facade of this simple Thai contemporary house looks much like many others of its type. It is only on entering the property and passing beneath the elegant twometer gable that you begin to get a sense of the uniqueness of this ingeniously conceived home.

The teak – wook residence nestles in six rai of lush real estate, on the shore of a lake and shaded by the surrounding hills.

Adjoining the house is a glass conservatory, or green house, as it is more popularly known to Thai people. Designed predominantly for horticulture, greenhouses are more often seen in colder countries and are generally less suited to tropical climates, since they have a tendency to trap excess heat.
