A guesthouse in Hang Dong · Chiang Mai

This four-bedroom house was fully imagined by designer Molly Li on the south side of Chiang Mai, between Saraphi and Hang Dong. Molly oversaw the project from an empty field through the construction and design of the house, garden and surrounding spaces.

The project takes inspiration from the Italian countryside, while incorporating materials and details from northern Thailand. Some of the bedrooms have terracotta floors, while the living room and master bedroom use local brick. All of the windows and doors are repurposed from Ban Tawai village, known for its traditional woodwork. The result is a house that combines the character of an Italian country home with the materials, craft and feel of its surroundings.
