Space: Eleven villas on a 35 rai (56,000 square metres) headland. An average of over three rai per home. That means space. Living space. Breathing space. Enough space for each villa to include up to 1,500
sq m of internal and external living space, swimming pools and other water elements. Space, superb location and natural seclusion. Lifestyle.
Concept: Jomchang is foremost a few exclusive residences affording maximum privacy and reciprocity with the surroundings. It is fashioned with care, attention to detail and responsiveness to the buyer’s wishes.
Design: Jomchang combines visual elements of Asian-style architecture (visually appealing but characterised by unconnected ‘vertical’ spaces) with the functional elements of modern Western design and planning, with its emphasis on the horizontal: horizontal space that is practical and connects well to other elements of the house. According to Architect Andy Hobson “Luxury is horizontal space”.
The structure at Jomchang is defined by clean edged horizontal roof elements that float over living spaces and equally clearly defined ‘floating’ floor elements. Walls are placed between the roof and floor elements as appropriate to the function of the space. Light glazing or open walling on the private ocean-facing aspects of the property counterbalanced by solid granite structures on the hillside / entrance aspects. As a result, while residents will feel the experience of living in Asia, crucial practical aspects of a luxury lifestyle remain uncompromised. |
