Bangkok House With A Unique Take On Privacy

This modern private residence sits within a Bangkok neighborhood which has one prevailing rule: no fences or walls. The homes within the community must be boundless around their perimeters which means each house must be designed in a self-contained way to permit for optimal privacy. Thai-based architecture and design firm, The Department of Architecture took on the free-range house challenge with stunning results of interior verandas within courtyards and hidden gems of outdoor/indoor spaces with each flowing one into the next.
