Tierra Design's project located on the west coast of Phuket is a modern interpretation of Thai residences. The entry reflection pond shadowed by the living span above, forms a threshold between the forecourt and the expanse of the ocean beyond. Limestone clad walls with their expressive horizontal jointing pay homage to the beauty and clarity of the sea’s horizon. The Archtiects idea of linearity of volume, transparency of glass enclosure, light stone interior and the kitchen islands reinforce this traditional attitude expressed with modern articulation.
Views of the sea are intentionally limited by framing from within its teak clad/screen enclosure. The interior volumes are generous and well appointed with finely detailed stone floors and walls and fittings. Roof decking is accessed by an open spiral metal and teak staircase is revelatory of the site’s position on the coastal headland. To create privacy, the pool and social spacesa are stepped below following the terrain of the site.
