Private residence Nonthaburi In design development
Almond House
01 The project
A two-storey house in a warm modern tone — pale plaster walls, a plain gable roof and timber slats that temper the sun.

The brief
A clear order of arrival — from the parking bay, the entrance and the shoe room through to dining — with service circulation kept apart from the family's rest areas, and daylight on both floors without the full heat.
The response
A plain gable and cream plaster lighten the mass. Timber slats over the entrance and the side passage filter the sun and let air through. Tall glazing faces the garden court, for light without views from the street.
02 The film
From the street to the garden, through light and detail.
03Walk through
From the street to the garden, one space at a time.

01 Street front
A quiet, closed face to the street: a pedestrian door and the car gate. The two options differ only at the small door on the left; the film follows option 2.
02 Entrance
Through tall timber slats into a walkway under a slatted soffit — shade without stopping the breeze, the garden already in view.
03 Courtyard
Both floors turn their main rooms to the courtyard. The house has one colour: the terracotta solid guard of the spiral stair — the owner-selected direction for this presentation; the 3D working model still shows the original slatted rail.
04 Living on the garden
The living room opens to the garden through dark, slender frames. The film shows one floor level; the drawn design steps the living room down from the dining area.
05 Side garden and walkway
A side walkway under timber slats keeps service routes away from the family's rooms.
06 From above
A plain gable roof and a walled garden all round — closed to the street, open to the courtyard.
04The presentation
Private outside. Open inside.
AI visualisation Boards from the MSA presentation, generated by the studio to set the design direction. Some views differ from the DD03 drawings (for example the front façade); they are not construction drawings.

05Materials & light
Few materials, so the light does the work.
Light-rendered walls, one smooth pale stone, warm timber slats, and the thinnest dark frames we can build. Colour appears once: the terracotta of the spiral stair that also opens the film.
Study images AI-detailed studies of the drawn design — not approved material specifications, brands or prices. The 3D working model still carries the slatted rail.
06Explore in 3D
A 45-second walk around the 3D model — street front, courtyard, then the floors lifted apart.
Simulation from the 3D model · the stair rail in the model is the original design Video recorded from the working model (floor levels as in DD03, furniture as simple blocks). It is not a render of the finished house and not a construction drawing; the stair still shows the original slatted rail, not the owner-selected terracotta guard. View only — the model file is not published.

- MatchesFront elevationFilm = DD03 front, option 2 (stone-clad upper box, gable behind, slatted door left of the gate).
- MatchesStoneThe pale veined stone in the film and in study D01 is the stone of the front box in DD03. Final stone not yet specified.
- DiffersSpiral stair railFilm, the website proposal images and DD03 perspective 09 (revised 30 Sep 2026, stair guard only): continuous solid terracotta guard, owner-selected for the website presentation. Original DD03 drawings and the 3D working model (an older schematic): slatted rail. Guard material, dimensions and fixings are not yet detailed.
- MatchesCourtyard wallsDD03 and the proposal images: plastered walls, standing-seam roof — same in both.
