The plan is to renovate an old private house on Fukue Island in the Goto Islands, Nagasaki Prefecture, into a guest house and private residence. The Abunze Coast stretches out in front of the house, and we wanted to be able to see this scenery from the rooms. So, we installed windows facing the sea in each room, and the living room window is a long, dynamic window that responds to the horizon.
Disorder/Order – Scattered/Arranged – Unorganized/Organized – Not seeing/Seeing – Unseen/Seen – Shade/Light – Closed/Open – Shell/Space. These opposing concepts were central to the design challenges faced by the Sarv administrative building project. Initially referred to the design team in June 2017 for façade approval, the building posed unique architectural problems. It was a partially constructed structure with 100% plot coverage, limiting the potential for natural light and ventilation to just one side—the southern façade. This constraint heavily influenced the design team’s approach, as they sought to balance functional requirements with aesthetic and spatial considerations.

The second phase of Sala Khao Yai was constructed in 2021, 13 years after its first phase. The project has 3 room types: a 3 bedroom Pool Villa, 2 Pool Villa Suites, and 3 Pool Villas. There is also a main swimming pool on a mountain. Through its masterplan, buildings and interiors, the design of spaces at Sala Khao Yai focuses on views of Thailand’s National Park and the nature that exists on the site. We paid attention to the buildings’ orientation, natural light, and the direction of the wind, particularly in the daytime. At night, we designed the villas to welcome the appearance of the stars.
