Designed by IDIN Architects, this home in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand, was inspired by the home owner’s lifestyle and sense of adventure.

The design of the house was initiated by the idea of a kayak on the water, and the way that the river acts as a support for the kayak. With the house design, the living and dining areas act as a support for the upper floor where the bedrooms are.

The cantilevered upper floor of the home is also a reflection of being adventurous.

In the master bathroom, a letterbox window gives a glimpse of the outdoors and wood shutters provide privacy but also let fresh air through.
