House in Green Valley

The Green Valley House Chiang Mai project presented an opportunity to rethink the typical arrangement of a residential site. Rather than positioning the house deeper into the property, the design places the residence toward the front of the land. This simple decision creates a generous backyard behind the house, opening the possibility for a more private outdoor living environment.

The backyard becomes the heart of the home’s relationship with its surroundings. A swimming pool is positioned to take advantage of the site’s particularly appealing lake view, creating a space where the owner can relax and enjoy the landscape in privacy.

This approach demonstrates how thoughtful site planning can shape the experience of a home. The architecture is not simply placed on the land; the position of the house, the backyard, swimming pool, and view are considered together as one connected experience.

For the owner, the result is a private retreat within their own property—a place to step outside, enjoy the swimming pool, look toward the lake, and relax whenever they please.
