From up shut this looks more than or less like a typical picayune house, nice and cozy but also very bright and open. Take a few steps back and you realize it's not an ordinary house at all because believe information technology or not information technology sits on top of an apartment building in the middle of Bangkok, in Thailand. This cool rooftop retreat was designed for the building's owner by studio WARchitect and the project was just completed before this twelvemonth. Instead of a garden this house has a concrete courtyard and is surrounded by tall buildings instead of trees. Even so, it looks and experience very convincing and information technology even has its own niggling inner courtyard with a tree at the middle of the floor program.

This petty rooftop house can't exist seen from whatsoever of the public roads surrounding the edifice which gives it some privacy and helps to minimize the strong contrast between it and the rest of the building.
