Situated on a 2.0 hectare plot in northeast Bangkok, the house occupies a central position on the site, inviting visitors with its unassuming front arrival area. At the same time, a private garden at the back awaits, providing a cozy amphitheatre for private event amidst nature's embrace.

The D Residence merges the simplicity with the beauty of nature. Its linear flat roof and understated front elevation allow the internal gravel driveway and lush landscape to take center stage. A practical cantilever on the roof offers a welcoming feature while combatting the tropical climate.

The handcrafted stone walls enfold a central courtyard, creating a harmonious connection between the public and private areas. The interplay of solid and void adds depth and intrigue to the overall simplicity design, maintaining a balance between privacy and openness.

The house is organized into two L- shaped footprints that intersect. The welcoming area comprises a spacious living and dining space, designed to evoke intimacy and warmth. The double-height ceiling in the living room offers breathtaking views of the private garden, enhancing the serene ambiance. An internal bridge guides residents through the landscape and featured stone wall, seamlessly connecting different areas of the house.

This outdoor space serves as an oasis for relaxation, dining, and hosting intimate gatherings. The integration of nature brings a sense of calm and tranquility, creating an ideal setting to unwind in harmony with the surrounding environment.
