Programatically divided into three main levels, Baan Tita not only functioned as a home but also as a workspace for the user who is a craftsman. The lowest level is a reception area where anyone can easily access and connect with the balcony called “Chan” in the middle of the house which acts as the transition bridge from the lowest level to the second level. This lowest level also acts as a wood workshop for the users complete with all the craftsmanship machinery.

The second level, an elevated level from the balcony, connects the lowest level with the kitchen area while the third level acts as the private living space with cozy bedrooms and a working area facing towards the outside. Through this level setting, users can feel the smallest level of transition from land to private space wisely through differences in elevation.

This house is built using traditional techniques which are applied on every turn of the building by elevating the floor level supported by timber stilts. The wooden structure used in the entire house gives an authentic and traditional value which also provides simplicity in the design.
