Villa Ko Samui (Thailand)
Bespoke Contemporary Luxury Villa Hin Fah villas built along a slope, such as this one, can yield something quite unique. Whereas a typical home has public spaces on the first floor with private rooms above, a home built along a slope might have the public areas at the top level because that's where the entry is. This villa is located on a sloping plot of 1800 square meters. It has 3 bedrooms, each with closets, bathrooms, terrace, 1 fully contained studio, kitchen, living room, pool, outdoor bar, and dining area, plus parking for 2 cars. This gives the structure a total area of 1220 m2, divided into 3 levels to adjust to the topography. The architecture is defined by a play of horizontal lines, formed by various overlapping canopies. Skylights bring in natural light and expose the lower level’s interior to the sky. There's a sense of luxury, ease and warmth suited to the Koh Samui lifestyle and climate. The kitchen and living room are open and spacious, done in a stark white that enhances this sense of space, with accents done in neutral tones that play with contrast. These rooms open out to a terrace with a pool, and beyond, the view of the surrounding islands creates an exquisite continuity and dialogue between the interior and the exterior. The aesthetic combines the clean lines and muted color palette of contemporary design with the exotic accents of natural elements and local stones found during excavation. With its distinct long overhangs and roof planes, this style of architecture balances glamour with a cozy feeling of home. At the same time, the designs borrow from local traditions, with sensitivity to history, location, local vocabulary, and context.
