Concept

Why?

Far from the crowds, Wao Mountain villas surrounded by nature are enveloped in a sense of calm. They are perched on one of the hills of Kao Hin Nok, and from this high location, 80 meters above sea level, you can see far away. The landscape is always changing since the weather imposes its rhythm but here more than elsewhere the sky is part of the panorama.

How?

Design philosophy

Meticulously crafted under the watchful eye of their owner, Philippe - a trained architect and builder - these villas are designed as effortless vacation homes, overlooking the sea and the rolling hills.

The architecture is conceived to provide a sense of protection without confinement, prioritizing breathtaking views, transparency, and natural light.

Driven by a passion for architectural heritage and a deep respect for local culture, Philippe has infused his contemporary vision with traditional elements.

By incorporating soaring pitched roofs crafted from wood and thatch, he creates expansive high ceilings that lend the villas a truly unique and timeless aesthetic
