Enter Projects Asia, EPA., a pioneering force in sustainable architecture, proudly announces the completion of The Brickhouse, a stunning new villa nestled within the prestigious Laguna Homes estate in Bangtao, Phuket, with a land area of 988 square meters and a total built-up area of 688.5 square meters, under room 525 square meters. This project embodies Enter Projects Asia’s innovative approach to design, merging creativity, cutting-edge technology, and traditional artisanal craftsmanship, all within a framework of sustainable, biophilic principles. The villa represents a new chapter in Thai residential architecture, blending international, environmental design excellence with local craftsmanship. By using noble materials like brick, slate, and wood, Keane has crafted a living space that is both modern and timeless. The house comfortably sits beside a pristine oasis adjacent to the Laguna Golf Phuket championship course, offering the perfect blend of seclusion and convenience.
Enter Projects Asia's dedication to creating spaces that resonate with the soul, seamlessly blending traditional elements with modern aesthetics, is exemplified in The Brick House, a true reflection of EPA's bold approach. The villa’s design draws heavily from mid-century modern influences, creating a tropical retreat that is both functional and beautiful. Every detail in this home serves both form and function, catering to those seeking a life beyond the ordinary. Custom-crafted furnishings made from locally sourced natural materials like rattan, specially sourced plywood, and marble decor greet you inside the villa, creating an atmosphere of warmth and serenity. These elements embody Enter Projects Asia’s commitment to supporting local economies and preserving traditional craftsmanship. The artisans behind these creations hail from families with five generations of skill, ensuring that each piece is not only beautiful but also rich in history and tradition. The Brick House effortlessly blends indoor and outdoor living with its 18-meter free-form pool overlooking the golf course and its private courtyard adorned with striking date palms. Each zone of the house was carefully crafted to ensure optimal cross-ventilation, making it a model of environmental design and personal health.
Sustainability is central to every aspect of The Brickhouse, with solar panels to power the house, a hybrid water heater and an EV charging station, all of which contribute to its energy efficiency. The house’s orientation, along with extended roof overhangs, maximizes natural light and ventilation, reducing the need for artificial cooling and lighting. This is not just a home; it’s a forward-thinking solution to modern living.
Patrick Keane’s philosophy is unmistakable: “So much of architecture depends simply on what is being manufactured and sold. We would rather use hybrid materials, work with local economies, and collaborate with progressive engineers to optimize structures and invent construction details.” This commitment to sustainability and innovation is evident throughout The Brick House, from its materials to its inherent design principles.
