Modern Thai/Borneo Long House, Chiang Mai, Thailand

Landscaping is yet to be done...The neighborhood was built in the middle of an lychee/mango orchard and overlooks a small lake.

All the roof tiles were handmade and glazed by a local artisan...which accounted for the house taking a year and a half to finish. The owner moved in last week.

I was invited to a scrumptious lunch party at a wonderful woman named Carol's new house just outside of Chiang Mai. While in the Peace Corps in Borneo in the 60's Carol lived in a long house and her dream has been to build a house of her own inspired by that with a some Thai influence thrown in (think I got that right). Here is the incredible result. She isn't totally moved in yet and these are just some snaps so please pardon the mess. Thanks Carol, Wat, Adam, Jessica and Steve!
