Board-formed concrete meets teak and raw linen in a weekend villa built to weather monsoon salt for a hundred years.
Sited on a laterite ridge, the villa is organised as four pavilions around a courtyard that floods, deliberately, during the monsoon — a shallow reflecting plane for three months of the year.
We specified board-formed concrete cast against reclaimed Burma teak, so the walls carry the grain of the wood that shaped them. Nothing inside is painted.
Furniture is almost entirely bespoke and built on site by a team of eleven craftsmen over nine months, using a single felled rain tree from the property itself.
Tell us about the space, the people who will live in it, and when you would like to move in. We will tell you honestly whether we are the right studio for it.
