Boonlert Hemvijitraphan designed the Acharapan House for Thai actress Acharapan Paiboonsuvan. The original two wooden houses on the site were demolished and replaced with a new 240 sqm building oriented for natural ventilation. Using local materials like timber, the house respects the surrounding context and traditional forms while incorporating modern design sensibilities. The resulting home provides a sanctuary retreat divided into private and welcoming pavilions.
