Villa Amanzi celebrates a most unique contrasting experience of solidarity and openness.
Architects Adrian McCarroll, Waiman Cheung and Jamie Jamieson of
Original Vision Ltd realized this open and playful design on the extremely diverse landscape and terrain high above the Andaman Sea located at
Kamala Beach in Phutek, Thailand.
The 2,644 sqm design dutifully integrates notions of interior and exterior in the public and private realms by giving constant reference to the towering stone peaks and dramatic views of this wondrous site. The dynamic use of cantilevered features explore characteristics of spatial separation and identification inherent in the works of Frank Lloyd Wright, most notably Falling Water. The design also pays homage Mies Van deer Rohe’s Barcelona Pavilion as the terraces afford fine views that guide users through uninterrupted spans and transitory spaces where notions of indoor and outdoor are abandoned. The cantilevered swimming pool is the heart of the design.
