Good Building Ideas

During the building of the first house I observed what I thought was a pretty good idea using double cement brick construction.

Architecture Examples

A few current Thai architecture examples, both from typical Thai style to higher end expat dwellings.

I have taken some shots of various houses to give a sample of Thai architecture.... or should we say 'modern day Thai architecture'. The classic wooden Thai building style is pretty quickly fading out. Today, almost all Thai houses build are of concrete block design. As for the expat house - these are again normally of block construction and come in various price ranges from about 1,000,000 Baht on up to 20,000,000 Baht and more. Below are some samples of the typical Thai houses and expat houses you might see around nowadays:

Mid range expat house. (03-Apr-04)dozer

Another thing on my potential good idea list is using the heavy cement block (as shown on the right compared to a regular cement block) for doing the outside wall. I'd be interested to know if anyone has done a house with these. Please let me know via feedback if so.dozer

A huge house. (09-Apr-04)dozer

The idea is to use the commonly available regular cement blocks but add an insulating factor by leaving a row of air between the blocks. dozer
