Rendezvous, the given name of the house, means Meeting place. This house is more like a reception venue for family and friends to be gathered together, up to 30 person. The plot area is almost 12,000 Square meter, the house situated among greenery and old family houses. The house has two stories, the ground floor has spacious multipurpose covered terrace, banquet space, home theater, drinking bar/kitchen, swimming pool and service quarter. The second floor includes bedrooms and spa. Linear planning and open courtyard promote the flow of space between indoor and outdoor space. At the same time, natural light and ventilation are fully welcomed into the house. Reinvent Vernacular is the idea to incorporate major characters of tropical vernacular house and make a transition into modern living space. As the result, the long overhang and a series of free columns that lift up the body of the house, creates underneath space just like the open basement in traditional Thai house which is a very flexible gathering space in various occasions. Since half of the pool is inserted into the basement space and attach to living terrace, people can sit with their feet in the pool, having activities around with full connection between each space. Such inspiration and spirit of traditional living space are the soul inside the body built with modern material like exposed concrete, wooden louver, steel and glass.
