Nong Thalay River Residence is a boutique development
of modern, innovatively designed energy saving homes constructed to suit
the Thai climate. The homes are situated amidst spectacular mountain
scenery in a quiet rural area 7 km from Ao Phra Nang and Klong Muang
beaches. They offer fresh air, calm and the convenience of being only 5
to 10 minutes drive from shops, restaurants and the beach.
House Designs:
Living in the tropics requires a different
architectural approach. Visitors from more moderate climate zones feel
that if the weather is hot and humid they must have a hotel room that is
fully air-conditioned. That means closed windows. Unfortunately it also
means that the visitor never really adapts to the climate.
Locals originally had a different approach. They were
satisfied having a roof over their head to protect against rain and
sunshine. Walls were almost unknown. The idea is to allow a constant air
flow through the living area which cooled the house. Nowadays, Thais
build brick and concrete houses too, with walls and doors as in Europe.
But these houses don’t have an adequate air flow and they are very hot.
Comfortable tropical architecture requires designing
a house that protects against rain and sunshine on the one hand and
allows maximal air flow, wind access, on the other hand. Air
conditioning is not needed in order to get adjusted to the ambient
temperature. The main living area, at least, should be free of
airconditioning.
House designs at Nong Thalay River Residence all
feature high ceilings and large doors and windows to ventilate the
house. Roofs and walls are also built with insulation in mind – thus
reducing or eliminating the need for air-conditioning. The developer has
a number of blueprints for houses that can be built on the site. Plans
can be customized to suit the buyer’s personal wishes and needs.
Land Plots:
The developer has 16 plots available on 60 years
lease to foreign buyers. The plots are large and meant for individuals
who enjoy living in a quiet rural setting with enough space to ensure
privacy from neighbours. This is in contrast to the often small, narrow
plots found on beachfront developments. Plots range is size from 936 to
1,772 sqm.
Prices:
Plots of land and houses are priced separately to
allow buyers the freedom to choose their own plot and type of house they
require. Land is priced from 3,360,000 baht for 936sqm plot to 6,690,000
baht for 1772sqm plot.
Houses from 7,800,000 million baht for 160sqm house +
32sqm swimming pool + 60sqm exterior terrace + landscaping + 30sqm
carport/storage
