Ari House is a private residence located in a dense urban neighborhood in Bangkok, designed with an emphasis on openness, calm, and fluid spatial flow. The house draws from the principles of indoor-outdoor living to craft a serene and livable sanctuary, offering its residents both comfort and privacy in the heart of the city.

The design begins with a semi-outdoor arrival court, softly enclosed by natural textures and filtered light. Visitors enter through a large timber door framed by warm plaster walls and vertical timber cladding—an entrance that feels grounded and understated. Above, finely crafted timber lattice screens provide privacy for the upper levels while allowing natural light and breeze to gently permeate the façade.

At the heart of the home lies a generous double-volume living and dining area, connected seamlessly to a lush backyard through floor-to-ceiling glazed doors. This central space serves as the social core of the house and enhances the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. The interior palette emphasizes softness and tactility: smooth plastered walls, warm timber ceilings, and understated furnishings create an atmosphere of quiet elegance.

The spatial layout is clear and intuitive, with a natural linear flow from the front arrival space to the private garden at the back. Strategic full-height openings allow cross ventilation and strong visual ties to surrounding greenery, while operable timber screens and soft drapery offer residents flexibility in managing light and privacy.

A major architectural achievement of the house is its 9-meter structural grid, made possible through a post-tension concrete system. This innovative approach allows for wide, column-free spans and high ceilings, enabling open and adaptable interior layouts without compromising visual or structural harmony.

Materiality plays a unifying role in the overall narrative of the home. Timber is used consistently throughout—wrapping walls, ceilings, and integrated service zones—to evoke a sense of warmth and tactile richness. This continuity of material blurs the boundaries between inside and outside, architecture and nature, structure and softness.

Ari House ultimately expresses a design that is quiet yet refined—where structural clarity, natural light, and material simplicity come together to elevate daily life.
