Project Design

This project is quite similar to #1, except for the patio being swapped. The project renders are done in Maxwell Render which provides a bit more life like renders, although these were done to mid level quality (still some noise in the shots). A fly through is provided as a good comparison between the design and the actual completed project.

Main Structure

This is a column based building design, although the aerated blocks used in the wall do generate load bearing walls. There are 14 columns used at even intervals throughout the house footprint. The foundation pour was done with CPAC 280 ksc concrete over well re enforced ground beam framing.

Roof and Ceiling

Unlike the Chok Dee #1 this is just a conventional Thai roof truss (as opposed to an M truss), since there are equa-distant columns throughout the house and no need for a large span. The ceiling is two tiered and the outside soffit is done with nature board (much better than the commonly used water resistant plaster board as normally used for the inside bathroom).

Plumbing

All of the inbound water (pressurized) pipes are the thick 13.5 mm thickness. Quality glue with proper water pressure testing done throughout the project (not just at the end). The inbound water supply is a deep water (bore hole) well of 32 meters in depth. A the bottom of the hole is a Franklin deep water pump. The water is fed into a large submersed water tank via an adjustable electronic valve. Then the water is fed to the house with via a Mitsu 155 watt automatic pressure pump.

Electrical

Similar to Chok Dee #1 project with the same electrical technician. This is a tape free installation with wire nut connectors throughout. The sockets use the 2.5 mm wire, 1.5 mm is use for lighting and 16 mm is used for the main.

Grounds

Covers the walkways, driveway, perimeter wall front section. The walkways + driveway are sloped to allow for run off through a series of drain holes in the front perimeter wall. The perimeter wall is color rendered for a paint free surface. This is done for the final natural look (not for cost savings - as it requires some extra steps).

Shower EnclosureThe water heater is a better quality Siebel® model. The enclosure has glass blocks (opaque) for a light and open feel. dozerSep 27, 2011

Exhaust FanThe wall mounted exhaust fans are more efficient than the ceiling mounted fans. There is plenty of light in the bathroom with a large window vent above and a row of colored glass blocks below. dozerSep 27, 2011

Dividing PanelThe dividing panel for the shower enclosure likewise has colored glass blocks to give more of an open feel. dozerSep 27, 2011

Water SystemThere is a artesian well (6 inch bore hole) in the far corner. At the bottom of the well is a submerged Franklin pump. The water is drawn into the 1750 liter underground water tank via a electronic solenoid. The pump on top of the water tank is a Mitsubishi 155 automatic water tank, which turns on when a tap is open in the system. Artesian wells are the best option for this area because they supply more and cleaner water than other solutions. The exterior wall is attractively rendered with premix die pigment, for a natural paint free surface and 'home made' feel.dozerSep 27, 2011

Lanko K10 waterproofingAny roof not dry teched will need a waterproofing treatment at the ridges even after any visible imperfections are caulked. This house used this product over every section of ridge joint. dozer

Weather Proof Control BoxThis box will contain the breakers for the automatic pump, the deep water pump and the control box for the deep water pump.dozer

Ceiling StructureThe C Lie suspension rails used are the heavier grade and are spaced at about 60 centimeters by 1 meter intervals. Note the tiered ceiling section on the left side (to support the two levels of ceiling structure).dozer

Finished SurfaceThis is the finished surface after smoothing. Close examination ensures that no hairline cracks are present. Cracking is a sign of improper rendering, either via improper mixing or application. dozer
