Bangkok-based architectural design firm, Creative Territories, has used aged teak disassembled from an old local house in a nearby province.
With various sizes and conditions, the 90 square meters outdoor terraces and 237 square meters interiors of reclaimed wood tie family spaces together from the ground level to the upper hallway, leading to five family members' bedrooms.
"We wanted to bring the highest value of the local teak wood into the interior design. It is common and appropriate material for our climate and termite-resistant. The random patterns and the exposed natural finish we do also reflect the original condition and bring warmth to the house" added Montira, partner of Creative Territories. "Other simple finishes such as white ceramic tiles, wall, light grey fabrics, and the cloudy marble brighten up the spaces and diffuse the warmth from the teak when they catch natural and artificial lights to the interior.”
