This house, christened Baan Saimai after its location, abstracts the pitched-roof house form with an all-white exterior. Set against a capacious green lawn, it reads as a sculptural object. Yet the interior experience is enlivened with abundant inside-outside encounters, as well as cross views and long lines of sight that forge interaction among its inhabitants.
Bangkok-based architecture studio Anonym was entrusted with the design of the house. Its founders Phongphat Ueasangkhomset and Parnduangjai Roojnawate are a husband-and-wife team that guides the studio with their diverse expertise. Ueasangkhomset graduated from King Mongkut’s University of Technology Thonburi (SoA+D) and had gained work experience in Bangkok and Singapore, while Rjnawate studied Interior Architecture in King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang.

These factors prompted our design to be oriented northward, thus offering a cooler temperature to the living area,” shares Ueasangkhomset.
