Beautiful Houses: L71 in Bangkok

GisMullr — Fri, 11 May 2012 19:41:26 +0000

The idea in this series is to show beautiful and inspiring houses. Houses that are remarkable for its design, elegance, elements, concept or simply because they are beautiful. So if you like architecture, interior design and beautifully designed houses, you are at the right spot. Check out this week beautiful house and stay tuned for more...

The L71 Residence in Bangkok, Thailand is a project by Office of Architectural Transition. The house is located in a narrow long shape site, which is good since the owners have some parties occasionally. To better fit their lifestyle the public areas such as living room and parking are in front of the house, while private areas such dinning room and bedrooms are in the back of the house. Most houses are designed as one big mass, and have bad ventilation and natural light, but in this house each rooms are splitted to get better ventilation and natural light.Since the masses are splitted, it creates some semi outdoor space to interlock indoor and outdoor space.

This is definitely a wow house. The wood, glass & white walls combination is pretty neat. The whole house is amazing actually. Maybe too big for my taste but definitely really beautiful. For sure a nice place to live. ;)
