Isan Homes

The house, room by room

Nothing here was tidied for the camera. There are toys on the floor and a pot on the stove, because five people live here.

Teak and the terrace

The front of the house is a covered terrace, and the wall between it and the living room is teak and glass that folds away. On most days it stays open and the two become one room.

The kitchen

One long room at the back with the cooking along one wall, the washing machines at the far end, and French doors to the terrace. A gas hob set into the stone, built-in ovens, and open shelves above the sink.

Living room and upstairs

Dark wood floors, tall paned windows on the lawn side, and heavy curtains for the hot months. Upstairs, sliding glass with insect screens opens onto a balcony over the garden.
