The site was on the edge of a small, man-made lake, inside a property adjacent to Kaoyai National Park. The selected placement of the cluster was to maximize the views, ventilation and privacy. With part of the land curving around the lake, and a gentle slope towards the lake, the best lake view scenery was selected and framed to be the main view of the living and dining compound.Arriving at the lake view scene was stretched into an interesting journey. The approaching sequence was carefully outlined: starting from the main entrance gate, the entrance curved road around berms, wild grass and trees that helped to frame the entrance court with a group of large existing trees in the center, as a foreground of the house.
