Developed beside a lily pond on the outskirts of Bangkok, these two adjoining homes the two function prominent gable walls that prompted neighbours to title the house Triangle House .
Thai architect Phongphat Ueasangkhomset created the two buildings to provide a mixed residence for a single loved ones in Nakorn Pathom. The two structures sit on the northern side of the pond, separated by a central courtyard.
The consumers requested a straightforward layout, with all rooms on one degree to make it less difficult for elderly members of the family members to move close to.
To achieve this, Ueasangkhomset created one rectangular and one particular L-shaped creating, both with a typical pitched roof.
Each house has its own living room, kitchen and dining area. There are two bedrooms in 1 and 3 in the other.
“I desired the homes to be straightforward and modest, yet even now have their own character,” the architect advised Dezeen. “With the 45-degree-sloped symmetrical and triangular roof form, they are suited to the local climate.”

“Considering that built, it’s been known as ‘the triangle house’ by the neighbourhood,” he additional.
The website itself is also triangular, which created opportunities for several gardens close to the edges of the internet site.
The two homes sit on opposite sides of the paved courtyard. Glass walls run along the two courtyard-dealing with facades, so residents can open their living rooms out to the room.
This makes it possible for it to become a central meeting spot, and also can make the residence “get together friendly”.
“The living area and terrace of each houses are facing each other, visibly linked with large folding glass doors,” explained Ueasangkhomset. “They keep open most of the day.”
Inside, the slope of the roof makes it possible for generous ceiling heights in these rooms, as nicely as in the adjoining kitchens. The architect stated this was “since the loved ones adore to cook and spend most of the time here getting ready the food, acquiring family members and friends”.
All of the bedrooms are positioned on the eastern side of the internet site, as far away as feasible from the noise of the street.
Triangle House was completed in 2013. Comparable suburban properties in Thailand include a residence featuring seven-metre-substantial doors by TACHA_Layout and a loved ones residence by all(zone) that reinterprets standardised housing.
