Inspired by a visit of the Tamarind Village in Chiang Mai, we thought, it is time to
built a new house.
We started planing and designing, made drawings and send it to Thailand, so Telu and
our workers could start to built, which they did. But there were some missunderstanding,
so when we came back, it was not what we like to have. So we had to change some parts,
like the roof. Unluckely
our freelance workers where bussy with other projects, so they had time for us only in the evening.
They came around 5 p.m. and worked until midnight. So this is why the hut became the
name Nightshift.
At the front wall we installed classic thai movable windows made from teakwood, at the backside at the living and sleeping area we have glaswindows.
The two beds we have made from bricks, painted white, there is a large bedside-table with readinglight inbetween.
Also for the floor we made a combination of teakwood and cement.
Opposite the sleeping area, we have a small teakwood writing table, a slight door, which separates the bathroom. A masonry locker with teakwood/bamboo doors completes the room.
The lavatory was designed and built by Babs. He used round bricks for the base and a wooden bowl as a basin. Next to it you have a glas shelve for your personal belongings and decrative items.
The shower cabin has a hot water system, which completes the bathromm
For the floor we choose terracotta-tiles in combination with glazed tiles.
The view to the forrest ratiates a peacefull atmosphere.
