“We carefully selected a site that perfectly matched our vision of a home and inspired a clear building approach.
Our goal was to create a home that seamlessly integrated with the land and surroundings, showing respect for our neighbors and the expansive paddy field behind us. We prioritize sensitive and considerate architecture.
Using Stereogram’s innovative Schnell 3D Panel construction system, known for its strength, insulation, and speed, we turned our dream land into our home in just six months, a testament to our dedicated team.
We creatively repurposed waste laterite paste from a cutting workshop as wall plaster, blending high-tech efficiency with rustic charm. Our entrance, without a traditional door, welcomes visitors under a solar panel canopy into an open communal space with uninterrupted landscape views.
We transformed surplus Schnell panels into furniture and light fixtures, revived a dying teak tree on the property, and integrated Permaculture principles into our landscape design. Sustainable landscapes go beyond appearance to functionality.
The roof features Vetiver (Khus, Miracle grass), harmonizing with the adjacent paddy fields. We revived a dying teak tree on the property and integrated Permaculture principles into our landscape. Sustainable landscapes balance appearance and function.
We believe skilled designers create timeless beauty with any material, adapting to diverse styles. Different situations demand innovative architecture as we strive for more effective sustainable solutions.
