Ocean View Pool Villa

One bedroom, an indoor–outdoor living space, and a deck that is genuinely the largest thing in the plan, all inside 240 square metres arranged as a single villa rather than a suite. The gardens around it are dense enough that the neighbours cease to exist — you go in through your own gate and see nobody. From above, the villa reads as an orange pyramid roof, a rectangle of teak and a rectangle of blue cut into the forest.

The pool is a proper one and the deck around it takes loungers and a dining table without crowding. Sheltered under ruffled leaves and lilies, and facing the wide expanse of the sea rather than sitting over it. It takes 3 adults, or 2 adults with 2 children, plus one extra bed. Trisara draws two floor plans, A and B, for the two orientations.
