Fit in place

Baan Jarun 69 features bright and ventilated interior spaces within obvious constraints of the small and irregular-shaped site. By pushing the building perimeter to the set-back limit, the 3 bedrooms and the family room on the second floor are designed as 4 separated villas which are placed at each corner of the site, creating the cross-shaped corridor with courtyards at every end. These cozy courtyards are the main private interior views which play a pivotal role in bringing natural light and wind into every interior space.

The existing mango tree at the set-back limit is tenderly preserved by curling away the front façade. Also, the front door is placed under it for everyone to walk through it on the way in. Upon entering the house, one will be greeted by the all-white open-plan common area with texture-rich tropical garden around. The all-white material strategy continues throughout the interior of the house to visually emphasize the courtyards and gardens where natural phenomenon take place.
