Thailand home connects to its beautiful surroundings

The Baan Hom Din House by TA-CHA Design is situated on a former rice paddy in Thailand. The paddy rests in the lush valley between parallel ranges of the Petchabun mountains. The house’s design caters to the lives of the residents and fosters a close connection with the surrounding environment.

The house owners are a young couple, both working as doctors, who wished to settle down and start their family. They wanted the house to suit their uncertain work schedules and provide space for their children, while being minimalist in style and visually connected to the beautiful surroundings.

village, which features the local architectural style. For the Baan Hom Din House, the architects utilized modern, minimalist design strategies, but mapped out the spaces using the concept of a rectangular building complex. Instead of building vertically, the project spreads over the site horizontally, comparable to Thai vernacular architecture. To build, materials such as timber and bamboo were locally-sourced and/or repurposed. These materials were used by local carpenters to create doors, window frames and furniture.

By maximizing the site’s features and fusing the identity of the owners with local architectural styles, the architects were able to create connections between the modern Baan Hom Din House and its socio-cultural and environmental contexts.
