Mae Rim House / WOS Architects

Mae Rim House project was born from the family's aspiration to relocate from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok to the serene landscapes of Mae Rim District, Chiang Mai Province. Nestled on ancestral land adjacent to their old vacation home, the vision was to create a permanent residence provided with both urban-style comfort and a profound connection to nature. Designed to accommodate a family of four and incorporating the majority of household appliances and furniture from their previous Bangkok abode, this dwelling exceeds the typical size of a vacation home. The central challenge lay in striking a balance between urban-style comfort and a seamless integration with the natural surroundings—embracing fresh air, verdant trees, impressive mountain views, and the sound of the Mae Sa Stream.
