Built in to a design by the owner and given to a qualified architect who produced detailed plans, obtained building permission from the authorities, assisted in selecting a builder and supervised the initial construction. The land, (1 rai & 67dw) was bought 3 years prior to the building of the house in a semi rural area to the NW of Chiang Mai approximately 5 kms from the city centre. As Chiang Mai has developed and expanded this area has now become one of the most desirable in the city. It is adjacent to the irrigation canal ring road, which gives easy access either to the city or to bypass city traffic congestion to rural areas. The 700 year Asian games sport stadium is less than 5 minutes drive away and offers a wide range of sporting activities for adults and children. The now famous Suan Pailom market is 15 minutes walk away, as is access to Doi Suthep nation park for those who enjoy nature. The international airport is 20 minutes drive away. The very large main room, which spans the length of the house, was designed for coolness. Large doors are opposite each other for through ventilation and give access to/from the entrance and front and rear patios. This room has a high wood vaulted and wood lined ceiling to dissipate hot air. High quality ‘Mai Daeng’ (an extremely hard red wood) was used and the floor is also Mai Daeng block parquet, also used throughout the house except the kitchen and bathrooms. The large garden to the rear of the house consists of mostly fruit trees and a brick lined pond.
