PROJECT IN THE FINISHING PHASE – KOH SAMUI, THAILAND

The residential project – KOH in Samui, Thailand, has entered its finishing phase, marking the final stretch for the materialization of this single-family home. Situated on an elevated plot with a steep slope, the architecture seeks to maximize uninterrupted views of the ocean while guaranteeing absolute privacy from neighboring properties. This strategic location allows the house to appear to float above the mountain, establishing an atmosphere of isolation, serenity, and exclusivity in perfect harmony with the island surroundings.

Structurally, the house is defined by a composition of two white horizontal slabs that create an elongated and dynamic facade tailored to the orientation of each room. This clean design conceals a truss system between the floor slabs, allowing for large cantilevers and wide, open spaces without visual interference. Functionally, the construction already reflects its layout across two levels: an upper level conceived as a self-contained unit for daily living—with social areas, the master bedroom, and an infinity pool that merges with the sea—and a lower level reserved for service quarters, a gym, and a second master bedroom.

With the main structure fully completed, current work centers on applying finishes, building services, and interior details, utilizing natural materials and neutral tones that enhance the overall aesthetic. Simultaneously, the organic landscaping, specifically designed to respect the original topography and minimize earthworks, is nearing completion. With this progress in the finishing stage, the interior spaces and landscape-facing bathrooms are definitively blurring the lines between modern architecture and the tropical nature of Koh Samui.
