This villa type is an outstanding example of adapting long-revered Japanese building traditions to 21st-century lifestyles. Floor-to-ceiling glass over two levels, with an appearance of lightness and weightlessness. Based on the principle of Shakkei (‘borrowed scenery’), the home capitalizes on its natural surroundings and landscape to enhance the residence itself.
We decided to develop a design to be ‘of’ the earth it was located on, rather than ‘on’ it, using the soil itself as the primary construction material for rammed earth load-bearing walls. The result is a masterful juxtaposition of contemporary design and traditional construction, an ode to the simple and honest construction methods.

Increased access to energy in developing countries, rising sales of home electronics, and the ever-growing number of new buildings are clear signs of progress. Yet, energy demand from buildings and the construction industry is increasing, and these two account for 36 per cent of global energy consumption as well as 40 per cent of total direct and indirect CO2 emissions. What’s more, even in developed markets like the EU, almost 75 per cent of buildings are energy inefficient, which is why authorities and citizens are starting to look favourably at initiatives that reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the construction industry.
Traveling to exotic places shows us a lifestyle we never thought possible. Foreign lands offer enriching experiences, new flavors and exciting moments. But these moments shouldn't be limited to a short holiday trip. Exotic luxury living can become reality simply by building your dream villa in Thailand. Welcome to Thong Krut, Koh Samui.
HIN FAH, meaning ‘Sky Rock’, is located near the sleepy, peaceful fishing village of Thong Krut on the southwest coast of Koh Samui. The development is built on more than 150 rai (240,000 square meters) of dazzling land that snakes down the hillside of an undulating 3-kilometer ridge blanketed by swaths of emerald palm trees. The land is being conscientiously developed over time to include private luxury estates, opulent hospitality for visitors, and boutique retail and wellness services that cohesively complement the worry-free lifestyle savored by Koh Samui’s inhabitants. 😎🌴🇹🇭
