The Oasis House
This house emerged not merely from the need for “a place to live,” but from the dreams and passions of Khun Ohm and Khun Mew, who envisioned a family home that would reflect their lifestyle and personal taste. Their desire was for a modern residence defined by simplicity, yet enriched with subtle details and distinctive character. Every space needed to be highly functional, serene, secure, and deeply private—shielded from the outside world. This was the very first passion they shared with Pongpat Architect.
When we began analyzing the site, we found the plot situated in Soi Phueng Mi 30, with convenient access from Soi Sukhumvit 93. The land measures 272 sq.m. (68 sq. wah), with a frontage of approximately 13 meters and a depth of 21 meters. Surrounded by a dense urban fabric and closely packed buildings, the site presented several challenges: a filled ground level raised by +1.20 meters to prevent flooding; spatial requirements that were large relative to the compact plot, thus limiting open space; and critical demands for privacy and natural ventilation, which were obstructed by the surrounding environment. These constraints became the key design drivers, pushing the architecture to resolve a balance between safety, tranquility, and functional living within a compact yet meaningful footprint.
The clients presented a clear vision: a modern home that feels like a private resort. Privacy here was not merely about blocking views from the outside, but about creating a complete retreat, cut off from the external world. From the street, the house appears solid and enclosed, but upon entering, it unfolds into an entirely different realm—open, airy, and filled with light. The heart of the house is its central courtyard, which is intentionally given maximum space, allowing every room to have direct views of the greenery. The courtyard is not just decorative, but the true core of daily life-providing relaxation, connection, and unity across all living spaces.

From this foundation, three core architectural strategies emerged:

Split Level as the Spatial Strategy
The “Split Level” concept was adopted as a solution to the +1.20-meter ground elevation, which otherwise risked making the house appear oversized and out of scale with its neighborhood. By using a split-level design strategy, the building’s mass was carefully modulated to maintain proportion and contextual harmony. Internally, the varying floor levels created a dynamic spatial experience, allowing natural ventilation and daylight to flow more efficiently. The result is an architectural identity that not only resolves site-specific constraints but also invites exploration, enriching the everyday living experience.

The Courtyard as the Heart of Life
In this home, the courtyard is more than just an outdoor garden—it is the center of living. By combining landscape, architecture, and family life, the courtyard becomes a spatial anchor that connects interior functions with the outdoors. The split-level design introduces variation in ground planes, transforming what might otherwise have been a flat lawn into transition spaces—terraces, steps, and landings that link inside and outside seamlessly. Each view frames greenery, daylight, and breezes, while the courtyard doubles as circulation, a family gathering area, and a serene retreat. It binds people to their home and makes nature an inseparable part of everyday life.

Privacy as True Serenity
This residence was envisioned as a Private Oasis—shielded from outside gazes yet fully open to nature within. The design employs the principle of “closed on the outside, open on the inside.” Organized around a U-shaped plan, the building embraces a central courtyard filled with trees and daylight, creating an atmosphere of openness and security. Every interior view looks inward toward the garden, avoiding the surrounding chaos of the city. The result is a home that offers privacy, serenity, and a strong connection to nature—a parallel world of peace and seclusion within the urban context.

Living in the House For the residents
the most profound experience is the ability to live in every corner of the house with constant connection to the central garden. Whether working, exercising, cooking, or relaxing, the garden is always present as a refreshing backdrop. The additional secluded outdoor corners further enhance the sense of peace and intimacy. Over time, the house has reshaped their lifestyle—activities that once required visits to cafés or malls for leisure are now fully replaced by the comfort of staying home. Every detail has been tailored to the rhythms of their lives, making the house not just a dwelling, but a “life space” designed to embrace both needs and emotions in perfect harmony.
