Lokks very impresive. Have seen in may thai houses that heigh inside rooms to ceiling is much higher that 2.40/2.50  as we use in Norway. But in this house looks like more "european style". Or am I wrong ??? (again party8) party9

From the selection of photos you have displayed,i think the house is absolutely stunning.and workmanship looks good as well.

It's nice to see someone trying to make a successful business,especially under the extreme circumstances that we find ourselves in the world today.

I take my hat off to you sir and wish you the very best of luck in your future ventures.

Looks fantastic Alan and looking forward to the finished pictures. Is there any rain collection system planned as a roof area of this size would be very efficient?
Title: Re: Single story house we are building near Buriram ,
Post by: Alanthebuilder on August 25, 2012, 06:41:40 PM
Good idea Alan, we will be returning back to this house next mid year to do some landscaping and a Swimming pool and pool house\bar.

If they want to save the water we can build that to ,at the moment they have Village water and a 4 inch bore hole so there no short of water .

Thanks for you input guys .

Alan, I think Alan was talking about guttering but I have been known to get my Alan's mixed up!

Gutter to collect the rain maybe and save ?

I know many spanish houses have a cisterna or water tank under the house which stores water collected from the roof via gutters. They rely on this more than Asia due to its dryer climate. The advantage of having the tank under the house other than not taking up valuable space is it keeps the water at a cooler constant temperature and can help to cool the house too.

I saw this at a beautiful seafront villa for sale in Kho Chang. Designed by a Swede if I remember rightly. Good stuff!

This is a good idea -Not Cheap to build mind a bit like a swimming pool with a lid on the top under your house ,plus you still have to fit the house  footings in there somewhere .
As my water bill is only 250 baht a month no matter how much I use ,I would not spend 100.000,s on building a big tank , but they are a good idea in water shortage areas for sure !

Very nice Alan. 

I made the mistake of having this posting opened when my TG saw it, now she wants one.  But she did say that your colors were not as bright as Thai's use. 

The wood floor and ceiling are excellent.

Look really nice. How about ventilation of pipes for toilet and grey watr ? Look at roof for vents but cant see, or do you make another solution to the problem ?
Title: Re: Single story house we are building near Buriram ,

Title: Re: Single story house we are building near Buriram ,
Post by: Alanthebuilder on October 10, 2012, 12:17:58 PM
The ventilation pipes from the septic tank we keep them away from the house ,normally we run them up the garden wall well away from the house . Nothing worse than smelling Sh*t when the wind changes direction .I see lots of house over here were the pipe runs up the wall and stops next to a bedroom window .
Ventilation in the roof tiles - these C-pac Monier are great lots of air flow ,above  the Fascia board  where the tile sits these tiles breath ,we have to insert a plastic fillet to stop birds getting in ,this air flow is all the way around the whole house ,a member of BX came to have a look and I showed him inside the loft (its light) in there ,as long as you don't seal it up with the silver foil .
In my opinion having been in loads of roof spaces using these curvy type of C-Pac tiles let the roof breath ,dont seal it off ,let it breath.
I will add a few picks son .
Thanks guys .
