PROJECT PREMISE

A home where people can live together without always sharing the same room

Tha Yang is a 750 sq. m. two-storey residence in Phetchaburi, designed for a large family whose members wish to live close to one another while retaining space for individual routines and privacy.

The Owner wanted the house to reduce disturbance from the road and connect the family living areas, dining and food-preparation spaces, semi-outdoor terrace and garden without compromising personal boundaries.

The shared spaces are therefore related without being dissolved into one oversized room. Each area retains a clear purpose, while circulation, openings, distance and sightlines allow family members to remain aware of one another even when they are engaged in different activities.

The images communicate design intent rather than post-occupancy evidence. What can be read from the proposal is an effort to create distance without disconnection, making it easy to gather while allowing each person to step away when privacy is needed.

SPATIAL SEQUENCE

From arrival to shared space, then gradually towards greater privacy

The approach begins at the road and moves past the parking area, broad canopy, planting and pedestrian route. These elements mark a gradual transition from vehicle movement to the quieter territory of the house.

Inside, the living area sits beneath the double-height volume. The dining and food-preparation spaces continue beyond it, remaining visible without becoming part of one undivided room. The staircase draws the eye towards the upper walkway, keeping movement between the two floors within the same field of view as the central living space.

Glazed openings connect the interior to the semi-outdoor terrace and garden. The exterior becomes part of daily movement, rest and family time rather than a view experienced only through glass.

Towards the bedrooms, distance, walls, planting and changes in direction progressively increase privacy. The sequence moves from arrival to gathering, visual connection and finally retreat.

KEY DESIGN DECISIONS

Distance, sightlines and circulation shape connection

Reducing road disturbance through siting and landscape

The house is set back from the road, with garden space placed between traffic and the living areas. The landscape works as usable space, a view and a physical buffer rather than a decorative perimeter.

Connecting shared spaces without overlapping every activity

The living, dining and food-preparation areas form a continuous sequence while retaining clear positions and purposes. Circulation, openings and sightlines keep family members within one another’s awareness without requiring them to occupy the same room throughout the day.

Using the double-height volume and stair to connect two floors

The double-height living area opens towards the staircase and upper walkway. Movement on the second floor remains connected to the main shared space below, allowing the stair to support visual connection as well as circulation.

Bringing the terrace and garden into daily life

Glazed openings and the semi-outdoor terrace extend the central spaces towards the garden. The relationship between interior and exterior is experienced through movement and use as well as through views.

Building privacy through distance and approach

Privacy does not depend on doors alone. Walls, planting, distance and changes in direction create a gradual transition from shared spaces to family retreat and bedrooms.

The house connects people by deciding how close they can be, when they can see one another and where they can step away.
