Thailand Architects Experts Design a Fantastic New Home in

Thailand Architects received and email from a British engineer and his Thai partner. They were looking for a Bangkok architect, who could help them design their dream home in Hua Hin, Thailand.

After meetings and discussions, our architect was awarded the project.  It was a particularly interesting house as the client wanted us to think outside the box. To create something unique and different. They wanted a modern house, with plenty of glass, giving them lots of light and views from the top levels. Thailand architects were overjoyed with the results and enjoyed working with the client. It took time during development to get it as the client wanted, but get there we did.

Due to the unusual shape of the land and its size, we designed the home to blend with this. The house was to be built with 4 bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, roof seating area, verandahs, living area, kitchen, swimming pool and sun deck. Our architect spent many months developing the architectural design with the client and the house is now under construction. If you are looking for an architect in Thailand, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thailand Architects Exceptional Design Of This Stunning New Home

Thailand architects were overjoyed to be awarded the contract to design two unique houses. This exciting project was to develop ideas for a potential development of a luxury house.  The location is stunning, overlooking a large lake in the high end location at Prime Nature, Bangkok. It has a peaceful natural ambience with fine luxury homes.

Both architect and client worked together. The idea was to create two totally different concepts. So potential buyers had two amazing options ready to build their new home.  The land at the time, was directly next door to the home of the international tennis player, Paradorn Srichaphan.

Over several months there was lots of communication and ideas thrown into the pot. Designs developed, changed and were added to. As you can see from the final results, both are amazing and make a wonderful home.

Modern Homes with all the Amazing Luxury Features !

Each home was to have similar features one would expect in a luxury development. This included a swimming pool, ponds, water features, home cinema and a relaxing atmosphere. It was a perfect fit for Thailand architects and a wonderful project to be involved in. We are often asked to design luxury unique houses and are most adept at a wide variety of design styles.

As with any design there are several  factors that combine to provide the best possible final outcome. One of course is the experience and creativity of the architect. Another is of course the client and the ideas they have. Time is also very important and as with any architectural project, it is vital to take the time necessary. Rushing is never a good plan.

Designing Homes Throughout Thailand

As you can see from the finished designs, both are unique and both appealing to different people. Yet providing similar amenities and accommodation. Our architectural team is based in Bangkok; however designs houses all over Thailand. Including such popular places as Hua Hin, Bangkok, Surin, Kanchanburi, Samut Prakan, Prachinburi, Chiang Mai, Pattaya, Ubon Thani and Phuket; in addition to other areas.

It would be our pleasure to help you realise your dreams and help you design a wonderful home. One of our major attributes and benefits are our architects want you to be happy. We spend a great deal of time developing the ideas and providing as much assistance as we can.

Architectural design is not something that is completed quickly and the right amount of time must be spent to develop your ideas  and sculpt the design to the eventual successful conclusion. Thailand architects welcome your ideas and look forward to your enquiry. You may contact us via this web site. thailandarchitects.com

12 Useful Tips for Designing a New Home

Here are some great tips to help you when considering designing a home in Thailand. Thailand Architects hopes this helps. If you have any questions, please contact us.

1. Take time to think about what rooms you actually need in a house. Sometimes there is a tendency to have too many bedrooms or extra rooms that in the future you rarely use and in fact just added additional cost Money you could have used elsewhere on the house, or saved.

2. When making your list of rooms, consider who will be living in the house full time. If you have guests, how many is it likely to be and how often. No point in having spare bedrooms that are never used.

3. Remember size costs money. Approximate averages of new builds in Europe is 110 sqm – 120 sqm and the USA is about 238 sqm. Good size for 3 bedroom house could 140 sqm – 278 sqm. Obviously depending on whether you want en suite bathrooms, and what size of bedrooms you require. So size can be deceiving if one has never built a house before. So if budget is important think carefully about size requirements. What do you actually really need, rather than what you may initially think ?

4. Of course if budget is not such a major point, then give the architect the information of what you need and they can work out size for you. You can always calculate an approximate projected cost of what overall size is.

4. There are plenty of very good locally produced products in Thailand. One does not need to use more expensive imports. Once again if budget is important then chose Products and material finishes produced in Thailand.

5. In considering window type, a good tip is to avoid wooden windows. Yes they look fabulous and natural. However natural products have their weaknesses. Wood will normally move in time due to weather changes. When temperatures rise and heat builds up within the frame, the unit can potentially warp and twist. In addition, it is sometimes very hard to get a good tight fit with window and frame. This can result in drafts, etc and insects coming in. But of course if you are happy to take that risk, you can of course have what you like. But from experience we advise to go for good quality aluminum or good quality PVC.

6. For the water pump always go for a good quality one. It works every day normally so quality is important.

7. Make sure you have plenty of external drainage to drain water that pours off the roof. Good size gutter pipes.

8. Check what electricity supply there is and if it is 3 phase. Inform the architect. As you may need to ask at the local office of  electricity supply, the cost to bring in 3 phase.

9. Check if there is city water, electricity and drainage close by your land. Do let the architect know. If not then this has to be addressed.

10. Remember when architects provide the fee proposal it does not normally include: interior design (not necessary unless you want it), kitchen design (normally done by the specialist kitchen company), project management, specialist security system design, home automation systems, Landscape/garden design, driveway.

11. If you want the garden wall and gate included, ask the architect to include the garden wall and gate in their designs.

12. Take the time necessary to develop the design with the architect. Do not rush it.

 

British Thai Couple Now Living in Awesome New Home !

A British Thai couple are over the moon with their fabulous new house in Prachinburi. The married pair had long envisaged n amazing new home in Thailand. Packed with everything they had always wanted. But first they needed a reliable and experienced architect; and of course, one who spoke both Thai and English.

With all of this in mind John and Malee set about looking for the right Thai architect. They already knew that the law required the construction drawings to be completed by a licenced Thai architect and licenced Thai engineer. This was vital. After some time searching they came across Thailand Architects.

Awesome Communication in Thai and English

Fast replies, good communication and a series of emails soon cemented the relationship. All the information was gathered by email and within 7 days John and Malee had their written proposal. It was brilliant to be able to do it by email, as it meant no need for long journey’s into Bangkok. In addition the house could if required be designed while they were overseas too.

Amazing Styles and Number of Homes

They soon found out that the main architect Khun Yos had designed numerous homes all over the country. Some clients were overseas during the process and others lived in Thailand. It was amazing just how many homes and different styles he had created. Over 20 years the company had designed a myriad of amazing styles, such as Thai traditional, Lanna, Thai tropical, Balinese, farmhouse, Italian Palazzo, Mediterranean, minimalist. modern and so the list goes on.

Customer Care and Value for Money Unsurpassed !

It was soon obvious that Thailand Architects really shined in the area of customer care and value for money. The architectural process is fairly long and there is a lot of drawings. For many months a client has to develop the house with the architect. So its vital there is good communication and lots of giving of time by the architect. It was an easy decision as far as John and Malee were concerned. Thailand Architects were thrilled to be awarded the contract and guide them on their new journey.

The house was to have 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room/dining area, kitchen, pantry, utility room, laundry room, covered balconies, astronomical observing platform, carport, storage room and driveway.

Preliminary Design Stage

After first stage payment had been made, Yos immediately started work. First stage being the preliminary design stage. This is where the master plan, floor plans and design of the house are developed with the client. Either by email or in meetings. Up to the client. But can easily be done by email. Many of their clients are busy and some work overseas. Having the ability to be able to work with the architect via email is essential to some. Whatever suits the individual client.

As an extra the architect also provided standard artistic 3D renders. This is a marvelous way to see the house. Artistic impression of how it could look. Yes of course colours will vary and they are artists impressions, but it does give an idea of how the home will look.

After approximately 8-10 weeks, John and Malee were satisfied and confirmed final preliminary design stage.

Thailand Soil Test a Must !

During this time Thailand Architects also organized the soil test for them. An essential part of the process. Takes 1-2 days on site and 2 weeks in the laboratory. Soil samples are taken at various depths. It is how the engineer knows soil consistency and how deep the house piles have to go. You certainly do not want later subsidence or structural issues. So a soil test is a must ! Depending on distance and site conditions, the price does vary and each time a soil test quotation can be given to the client.

Architectural Construction Drawings

As this was going on the architect continued on with the detailed construction drawings. This is where all the technical detail is done. Engineering calculations, structural drawings, detailed mechanical/electrical (M&E), sanitary/plumbing, HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning). This is more concentrated on the architect, electrical engineer, sanitary and structural engineer working together overseen by the architect. There are times when drawings will be sent to the client for verification. Such as choosing location and number of power sockets, switches and lights etc.

Amazing Kitchen Companies

Also if the client wants to they can now start talking to the kitchen design company. There are some amazing kitchen companies to chose from and the architect can suggest. The kitchen company will not only design your kitchen based on the space the architect has on the drawings; but also install it too.

Final Architectural Construction Drawings

John and Malee continued to communicate with the architect throughout. After approximately 10 weeks all the final drawings were completed. All stage payments had been paid and the final paper copies and AutoCad files if requested, are handed the the client. As per regulations all drawings are signed off by the licenced Thai architect and licenced Thai engineer.

Building Application

John and Malee then took the drawings and license details to the local government office. This is for them to apply for permissions to build. Always important to remember here. If your drawings are not done and signed off by the licenced Thai architect and engineer, you will not be granted permissions to build. Just like in most countries.

Local Licenced Thai Architect & Engineer

There must be a licenced local architect and engineer involved. So always be very careful of thinking drawings you buy off the internet are any use. They are not ! Of course are done by people who understand local construction method, the site location/condition and/or weather patterns. All vitally important when designing a home. In addition to this, drawings must be done with local regulations in mind. So best not make the mistake as it can be very costly.

John and Malee got their permissions to build fairly quickly. Then it was the time to find a builder. Having built up so must trust with the architects, they decided to go with their team.

Jump head  several years. John and Malee are happily living and enjoying their dream home.

So if you want to design a home in Thailand, please do not hesitate to contact Thailand Architects. They are sure to take very good care of you.

 

A Thai Architect Designs This Remarkable New Luxurious Home

A Thai lady and her British partner have just completed design of this remarkable new luxury house. To be built in Pattaya, they chose Thailand Architects to assist them. Over approximately 6 months client and architect worked together on this awesome design.

Thailand Home Construction Costs

From the start the client knew he wanted a modern house. The dream home that in Europe, USA or UK, would cost millions to build. Costs of labour being so excessive that most people can only dream of such a house. However in Thailand it is still possible to make your dreams reality. This house  is over 600 sqm (6458.35 sq.ft) of space.

At current construction costs (November 2023) in Thailand, an approximate idea of cost for a finished home, ready to move your furniture, could be between 18 million and 27 million Baht plus VAT ( currently 7% as of November 2023). Much depends on chosen material finishes, kitchen etc, but it is a an idea of an approximate guide to cost.

In GBP (£) at current (November 2023) exchange rates that is £405,000 to £608,000. Or in USD ($) $495,000 to $743,000. For Euro’s, €462,000 to€ 693,000.

Imagine living in the warm, taking a dip in the pool, having friends over and enjoying time with the family. Definitely an amazing lifestyle awaits those who take the plunge.

Land Ownership

Do always remember that as of the current date 2023, a foreigner can not own freehold land in their name. So it is very important you listen to good professional advice by a Thai lawyer. Much depends on your circumstances, whether you have a Thai partner, can lease the land etc. We are not the experts in this field, so contact a good professional Thai lawyer to help you through this part.

There are thousands of foreigners living happily in Thailand. Some are married to Thai citizens, others come for part of the year and spend time between two countries. There are lots of possibilities.
