Phuket Townhouse Renovation

The following pics are of a townhouse renovation started in 2003. The home situated on a golf course in Phuket was completely "Gutted" (Concrete Shell) and rebuilt from the inside out paying lots attention to the details. 7 years latter, the project is still ongoing. (Hobbies are fun.....)
My wife lets me take on one (1) major project/upgrade per year......God bless her.

Cement bathtub in outdoor courtyard/bathroom.I had this 1/2 ton cement bathtub constructed offsite at a factory in Phuket. Because the istallation of the tub is in an outdoor courtyard, we could'nt use a standard prefabricated air-jet fiberglass tub. The sun's U.V. rays would have eaten-up a fiberglass tub inside 6 months.
Have a look at the other folders for how we built it and had it installed.verticaliftApr 19, 2011

Cement bathtub.A 2 meter section of this 30cm thick cement wall had to be knocked down and then re-built to get the 1/2 ton bathtub into the courtyard.
We used a truck with a crane in case you're wondering how we did it.verticaliftApr 19, 2011

StairsThe original stairs were the standard concrete type with a small storage area underneath. I had the concrete stairs "blasted-out" and installed a steel beam with steel supports for the 4cm thick teak steps. With the house orientated to take advantage of the North-East / South-West monsoon winds, there is a Venturi effect in this part of the house with the wind blowing through it.
Who needs air-con...? Plan to install a skylight overtop of the stairwell.verticalift

KitchenLike the rest of the house, the kitchen had been completly gutted and rebuilt. Though this is a traditional concrete kitchen, we used solid teak on the face of the vertical concrete columms. The inside of all lower cabinets have a white tile so that when the fish sauce spills, it's an easy clean-up. Countertop - Black African granite. UV Water Filteration system under sink. Travitine marble backsplash. All cabinets were hand made on a table saw in the living room.verticalift
