TA-CHA Design Constructs Recycled Timber Binary Wood House

 

Binary Wood House – Developed from the initial plan to construct a Airbnb/ private resort, Binary Wood House was finally built to become a second home for a Bangkokian family of five, and hopefully the last home for the soon-retiree parents. Throughout the entire design project of the house, there has been one and only core value on which the owner and the designers agree — to always hold the predecessors in high regard.
