This residence is located in the Ladprao area of Bangkok, a semi-central urban district known for its high density and abundance of amenities. The homeowners acquired a relatively
small plot of land surrounded by a tightly built-up urban environment. With privacy as their key priority, they sought to create a home that feels completely detached from its external surroundings
while maximizing the use of every square meter. The architectural design embraces a Modern Classic style, merging timeless classical elements with simplified, contemporary lines—resulting
in a home that is both elegant and easy to maintain.
The architect distilled the design into a single, clear solution: a large rectangular volume, maximized in width, length, and height within the constraints of the site.
At its core lies an enclosed courtyard, designed to emphasize privacy by creating a sanctuary disconnected from the dense urban surroundings. Only natural light and wind are allowed to
penetrate the space, reinforcing the home’s inward-focused character. The front of the house is open and airy, serving as both a carport and a breezeway that channels airflow into the interior.
The entrance walkway features refined classical round columns with simplified details, balancing timelessness with modern appeal. Behind this entry path lies a serene garden with a cascading
waterfall originating from the upper-level swimming pool.
As residents enter, the sound of flowing water creates a soothing transition from the outside world into the tranquility of home. The first floor is dedicated to communal functions, including
the dining area, guest lounge, kitchen, and rear service quarters. The second floor begins the private living zone, with a family living room, lounge, gym, and swimming pool.
The pool introduces a dramatic vertical element—a cascading waterfall flowing from the third-floor pool into the second-floor pool surface, continuing into a gutter system on the ground floor.
When in use, the pool system produces a cooling mist that lowers the courtyard temperature. As warm air rises, it draws in cooler air, creating a naturally comfortable microclimate at
the heart of the home.
The upper floors serve as private quarters. The son’s bedroom and playroom occupy one level and are designed as flexible open spaces to adapt to changing needs over time.
The master bedroom is situated on the top floor, with all primary rooms oriented toward the central courtyard. This inward-facing arrangement strengthens the home’s connection to its
private core, visually and spatially linking all areas while isolating them from the surrounding urban context. The courtyard thus becomes the true heart of the residence.
