Projects past and present
How we could work together
The starting point should be the shape of your land, – it gives the canvas for your design.
If you don’t have a digital shape of your land yet, I have contacts to surveyors so that we can use the actual shape of the land in 3D for the design of your villa.
I love to start with a conversation with you about your requirements for your house as much as your likes, limitations and passions – they are key to understanding what you are looking for. Please take a look here for some questions that can help you prepare
Once the requirements for your house are clear, we will talk about principle placement of your future villa on the land, fully following Koh Samui building regulations (that ensures that you can sleep well in this regard !). Follow this link here for an overview of those regulations.
Should your project involve several villas on a land plot then will should start with a master plan for your plot – planning the general placement of villas on our plot first.
Instead of bringing a fully designed villa to you as a next step it has proven to be much more efficient, collaborative and actually enjoyable to have several conversations and feedback sessions as the design is evolving in increasing detail. This ensures that the final product reflects your needs, style and likes in the best possible way.
About NiHo
I am Johann Hommel, an Austrian native, fluent in English and German and speaking a good bit of French. I live with my family in and around Koh Samui since 2018 already. I know the island, cultures and business well.
My passion is to bring art and engineering together to create great architectural design for your villa.
I studied architecture in Vienna and Lausanne, which included a heavy part of engineering. So I will be able to not only architecturally design our project, but ensure as well all relevant thoughts for a good structural design for your future house.
My experience beyond the years in Thailand include 20 years of architecture in Austria and the United States – for both Corporate and individual clients.
I much look forward to meeting you and to discuss your project with you !!!
