About Anavilla
ANAVILLA: Celebrating Thailand’s Fishing Heritage
Located in Thailand’s tropical countryside, ANAVILLA stands out as a modern testament to sustainability. Built for a third-generation fishing family, it beautifully captures their long-standing legacy.
A Perfect Fit in a Family Village
Set on a spacious plot next to the old family home, ANAVILLA blends effortlessly into the family’s private village. Despite southern Thailand seeing rain 80% of the time, the family wanted a modern look. As a result, the two-story glass house comes with a wide roof, shielding it from rain and sun alike. On one hand, wooden screens on the west side fend off the harsh afternoon sun. On the other, large windows on the east tilt just enough to keep out direct sunlight, making the house cooler inside.
Inside ANAVILLA: Fresh Design with a Touch of the Sea
Stepping inside, the house shows off a modern open floor plan. The living, dining, kitchen, and bedrooms connect easily, filling both floors with a sense of space. Also, tucked away, you’ll find a cozy workspace and home theater. Right next to these, there’s a large outdoor deck sitting atop a ground-floor gym. With its simple design, local builders found it easy to bring ANAVILLA to life.
The design of ANAVILLA reminds many of a grand ship. It offers a mix of small and big spaces for residents to enjoy. Imagine walking under a low ceiling one moment and then stepping into a wide, open space with a 7-meter (about 23 feet) tall ceiling, much like the main hall of a luxury yacht.
In the end, the house ties the family’s past and present together. Starting from the old homes and passing tall, ancient trees, the path leads to the modern comforts of ANAVILLA. The journey is complete when standing on the master bedroom’s deck, looking back at the old family home, a nod to generations past.
