Residual marble pieces fell onto the ground to become part of the landscape features, isolated, yet visually related so boldly, as they use to be part of the marble boulder.

The excavation of unique shape, form, and space is created by shifting the building linear and non-linear planes. The Marble House is placed on one end of a rectangular land plot with a large, magnificent Raintree on the opposite end. Photography: Wison Tungthunya
The visual impression of the Raintree is enhanced by a modern architecture style pavilion. A contrast of the simplest structure and a fully grown, natural-formed Raintree, over a reflective swimming pool surface, create a memorable, signature scent for the house.
