DOUBLE SPACE DESIGN

This Modern Freestyle beachfront residence is located at Laem Singh Beach, Chanthaburi, with a total usable area of 525 square meters. Designed as a private seaside pool villa, the residence combines contemporary architectural lines with refined materials that blend harmoniously with the surrounding coastal environment.

The architecture is defined by a combination of straight and curved geometric forms. Its distinctive features include curved walls clad in aluminum and perforated metal façade panels, which help filter natural light while adding depth and visual character to the exterior.

Vertical screens contrast with the flowing surfaces, adding rhythm, depth, and a sense of lightness. As natural light moves across the façade, subtle shadows emphasize its layered geometry and refined architectural details.
