Since the owner was a child, the family's main income came from her mother. The owner's mother's job was to bring the coconuts from her garden to sell at a floating market. The mother continued this job until the owner grew up and has her own family. After the owner is able to sustain the family, she wants her mother to stop selling coconuts at the floating market, rest, and spend time with her children, therefore, she intends to build a house for her mother to live in and to use as a family gathering place. The site is a coconut garden located in Amphawa district, Samut Songkhram, Thailand. Only 1 Kilometer from the site, there is the Amphawa floating market which is famous for local Thai desserts, and Thai food, and a boat trip along the Mae Klong River to see fireflies.

Because of the intention of the owner and the coconut garden, where the memory of this family exists, the architect proposed to design an architecture that blends in with the context and maintains the coconut garden as much as possible including trees and ditches. The house has been split into a variety of small masses according to its functions so it could be able to fit in the coconut garden. Similar to the traditional Thai house method, the variation of the height of the mass creates terraces that connect each mass, “Tai Thun" is a space under a Thai house that allows the wind to flow into every space.

The materials were chosen to convey the concept of a Thai house that uses modern and contemporary methods consisting of three different materials: concrete, wood, and steel. Concrete represents the present. It is applied to the simple building mass to make the building, even more, blend in with the context. This material is mostly used in structures and walls on the first floor of buildings surrounded by garden areas. In addition, coconut wood from the garden is also used as a model for casting concrete walls. After removing the formed wood and burning the coconut fiber attached to the wall, the wall has a unique pattern and the smell of burnt coconut, enhancing the atmosphere of the house. Old wood contains the memories of the original house. Representing the past and Thai house. It was used as a wall, windows, doors, and furniture. Steel represents contemporariness. It was used as a structure and part of the facade of the upper room that rises above the garden to create a contrast. It is also used as the structure of the wooden wall to make it stronger and easier to maintain.
