AKE-U House

This house is set in between Chaopraya River and existing garden, which its configuration is inspired from Thai floating house and Thai traditional house.

Reflecting the traditional atmosphere through space and time, through materials and touch, and through seasons and being, without just replicating traditional look soullessly, this house is committed to creating an architecture, which stimulates and inspires; an architecture that tells story of place, of interval, of individual aspiration and of synergy between the natural and built realms.
