which allows a pleasant coolness during the day. All ready for Lang Khaay Bay and Aow Leuk Beach, famous for its turtles and corals.

sea. These gems are its terrace and infinity pool, offering a bird's eye view of the blue horizon.
The architecture:
At first glance there does not seem to be any temples outside, with typical Thai architecture. We must look deeply in the most remote countryside and observe the ancient administrative buildings to understand the basics of Thai architecture. Like any architecture, the organization is made taking into account the climate of the available materials and the way of life. The most common points in ancient buildings are; overflowing roofs to create the maximum freshness elevation on stilts to create a
fresh & sheltered ground floor space for handicrafts,
cooking or storage of crops ...
An external staircase giving access to a floor exclusively intended for sleeping. The changing housing needs, scarcity of wood, air conditioners and modern techniques of isolation it was because of this architecture and it becomes (except for some areas) difficult to find a trace. The major part of the constructions takes model on the Javanese or European Balinese architecture. What would become of Thai architecture if it had followed a similar evolution to what is seen in other regions? It is in this exercise has attempted to meet Vladimir Dubus architect in Paris. Unpretentious but with a decidedly contemporary look he structured his thinking around the most striking elements of traditional architecture. But an outside covered staircase, an overflowing roof (with a dual port false). A semi peripheral cladding completes the idea of ​​looking for freshness and facilitates a consensual integration into the landscape. Two houses were built on the same bases, the third being totally contemporary with roof terrace so as not to harm the exceptional view of other buildings.
Construction philosophy:
It is likely that the best ecological idea for a building is to bet on its durability, then comes the energy consumed for its construction and that necessary for its use. Concrete and metal are the materials that excel in terms of ecology, water necessary for their implementation the extraction of sand and gravel as the energy necessary to the development of cement. You would think that by building concrete was necessarily all wrong, yet so we do not take account of this destination of the book or its location of local skills and transport policy issues, energy calculations become false. The presence of abundant wood-boring insect in this part of the island compromise the use of the wood culture (too attractive to insects and providing construction opportunities with excessive use of insecticide). The most noble woods are mostly from smuggling and promotes the enrichment of the Burmese military and apparatchiks gente Lao, but above all it contributes to irreversible deforestation millennium drill.
Our contribution has a more ecological approach can
70% of 455 cubic meters of water that we used for the building comes from rainwater water the remaining 30% were imported by boat from the mainland and were pumped into a river before it empties in the sea. The materials and their implementation assays were scrupulously followed, the location of the houses was made in order not to cut valuable tree (you will find on our field presence more than three trees bicentennial) materials used for roofs enable optimum recovery of rainwater. The wood used for the frame from wood certified culture and treatments were carried out with mineral oils. The energy value of the tile is very poor but also for aesthetics because the pools are natural stone and floor tiles in cement. These remarks are not intended to convey our constructions for Eco housing, they only underline our intention to have a long term the least harmful impact possible while making advantage for our guest free comfort faults.
Landscaping:
