Country living being a lifestyle choice, who needs extravagant furniture and all the luxurious amenities? Striking a perfect balance, this family’s Tropical home is designed to embrace the lakeside ambiance while offering just the right amount of modern conveniences. It’s hard not to love this modern Tropical house at the water’s edge. Wait until you see the inside and the infinity pool. It’s awesome.
The layout is inspired by traditional Thai houses in times past, in which the living room, dining room and even kitchen seamlessly merge into one open concept interior. This one in particular is a one-bedroom home with a big communal area capable of updating and adapting to suit different lifestyle needs that can occur over time.
The interior is well lit thanks to an array of overhead transom windows that allow plenty of natural light. The comfortable and cozy look of wood dominates the interior living spaces. The entire walls, windows, and doors are made of teakwood in light to medium shades of brown.
For durability, the floor is crafted of Tembusu timber that is known for its long-lasting hardwood quality. Movable pieces of ash wood furniture in complementary color combos bedeck the spacious interior rekindling memories of a laid-back temperament of old-world homes along canals.
Need a break? The house’s most relaxing spot is the area around an infinity pool, which originates indoors and stretches into the distance giving the impression that it merges into the lake. The homeowner family usually hangs out together and entertain visitors here.
Built on a good-sized piece of land, the Tropical lake home has given the family a freedom to explore new recreational activities, something they miss while living in the city. Out here on a tract of lush countryside, time well spent is time spent together riding bicycles and tending vegetable nurseries. The homeowner family now stays here three days a week and loves every minute of it.
