Krabi Dream Homes combine time-honoured design with state-of-the-art technology. We are proud to be setting the standard for innovative and eco-friendly housing projects in the Krabi area. The task we set ourselves was to achieve an ecclectic unio n of classic Thai building principles with modern energy-saving features. We care for our local (and global!) ecology, so with this in mind, we built three houses in the year 2010 that use simple but effective energy-saving ideas. The result is 3 attractive houses called Ban Nang Fa, that also make most economical use of resources. We named our houses each: Baan Ratchinee (princess), Baan Kinaree (a famous Thai mythical bird-woman), and Baan Absorn (an angel). These names are suitable for 3 beautiful houses, that also harmonise with their environment. A key feature of our houses is the roof design. We conducted research into the most efficient design with respect to interior temperature. Our roof spaces are sealed, and the loft is higher than usual. This is a most effective way to keep the house interior as cool as possible. In addition, our walls are double walls, 20 cm thick, with a 2 cm space between. Again, this prevents heat from entering the house, and is excellent for maintaining a constant cooler temperature inside. Solar panels have been in use for several years now, and we have installed the very latest technology. Pollution free storage of natural solar energy, which provides power for the water heating system.
