Architecture + Interior
Kitisook House is shaped by a direct relationship between domestic life, raw material and landscape. Exposed concrete, slender black steel, timber doors and built-in woodwork create a restrained architectural framework, while large openings keep the house visually connected to the surrounding greenery.
Inside, old-world timber detailing is set against simple concrete surfaces and contemporary steel frames. The contrast gives the house a lived-in warmth without losing the clarity of the architecture. Deep openings, shaded terraces and operable doors extend daily life toward the garden and allow light and air to move through the house.
The concrete street edge, planted setback, carved timber door and open dining space establish the house as a series of thresholds rather than a single enclosed volume.
Long views explain how shared and private spaces remain visually connected, while the separate stainless-steel kitchen opens fully to its own terrace and garden edge.
The sequence moves upward through increasingly intimate spaces, ending at the dark timber-and-glass display wall that filters views across the stair void.
Concrete texture and timber profiles are resolved at the scale of the hand through cabinet pulls, steel handles and a purpose-made rolling system.
The overall layout establishes the relationship between the main house, separate kitchen pavilion, parking, terraces and planted perimeter. The two floor plans then show how shared spaces remain open to light and air while bedrooms and bathrooms are arranged around the double-height central volume.
