Kulsiri House

A cluster residential development in Chachoengsao — each unit at 120 sq.m, designed to apply architectural ambition to the speculative housing brief without sacrificing the efficiency the typology demands.

The signature gesture is the gabled roof form: steeply pitched, clad in dark material, and paired against white rendered walls and full-height black aluminum glazing. The silhouette reads almost barn-like in its directness, but the precision of the detailing — the diagonal bracing of the black steel carport canopy, the way glazing meets frame at the threshold — is firmly architectural. Mature trees are preserved and woven into the site plan, each unit oriented around a courtyard zone that mediates between the driveway and the interior. The twin-unit layout is symmetrical, but the landscaping gives each side its own identity.

Inside, the palette continues the exterior's material logic: timber flooring, concrete and brick accent walls, copper-framed shelving, and oversized openings that frame the garden as deliberate views. The bedroom glazing looks directly into tree canopy — the landscape is treated as part of the room, not its backdrop. At 120 sq.m. per unit, the project demonstrates that the constraints of project housing are a design problem, not a design excuse.
