japanese practice shinichi ogawa & associates has created the ‘150m weekend house’, the longest residence of the century perched on the top of a hill in thailand. a linear structure fronted with a glass facade overlooks the nearby forest, offering panoramic views of the landscape. a single lineup of rooms begins with an entry gate at the eastern end, welcoming inhabitants with a waterfall.

spanning just 11 meters wide, the ground floor’s internal functions begin with a glazed spa, six bedrooms with personal bathrooms and living rooms, storage and maids quarters along the western end. a deep roof eave shelters a long deck terrace becoming an outdoor circulation along the southern elevation while an interior corridor along the northern edge of the plan links the rooms.

on the upper level, a white cube contains the living and dining areas which opens to the roof terrace. a 40 meter long swimming pool gives dwellers the feeling of a seascape amidst the mountain tops.
