Terrace120 viewsWe've turned this area into an upstairs outdoor terrace, overtop of the garage. Originally it was just a flat top roof (Waisted Space) of the garage/car park below. I had the roof/floor tiled and a sloping roof instaled overtop. The underside of the C-Pac roof tiles were to have been covered in 10 mm teak T & G, however with teak prices having skyrocketed over the past 7 years I had the underside of the C-Pac roof tiles painted a teak color and the steel support beams, painted dark oak. It works.1 commentsverticalift

Kitchen103 viewsLike the rest of the house, the kitchen had been completly gutted and rebuilt. Though this is a traditional concrete kitchen, we used solid teak on the face of the vertical concrete columms. The inside of all lower cabinets have a white tile so that when the fish sauce spills, it's an easy clean-up. Countertop - Black African granite. UV Water Filteration system under sink. Travitine marble backsplash. All cabinets were hand made on a table saw in the living room.verticalift

Stairs90 viewsThe original stairs were the standard concrete type with a small storage area underneath. I had the concrete stairs "blasted-out" and installed a steel beam with steel supports for the 4cm thick teak steps. With the house orientated to take advantage of the North-East / South-West monsoon winds, there is a Venturi effect in this part of the house with the wind blowing through it.
Who needs air-con...? Plan to install a skylight overtop of the stairwell.

Downstairs Bathroom84 viewsIndoor/Outdoor bathroom. I first saw this stainless steel rain shower spiral, in a magazine in Abu Dhabi where they were asking $2000USD. I tore the page out of the magazine and took it back to the local marina in Phuket where I kept my boat. I had the guys in the stainless steel shop fabricate it for me. My cost: 2,000 Baht. The 500 Baht shower curtain hangs on the stainless steel pipe.
Stairs are solid teak with 25 coats of "Deks Olje" (Aquired at the local marina)
