The four-storey residence nestled in lovely natural surroundings at Wat Pa Wachirabanpot in Chon Buri isn’t easily seen from afar, but it’s surprisingly easy to get to. It holds a meditation centre and is the residence for the women who come to practise, serving as their second home.

Strikingly designed, each of the 100 rooms in the building enjoys breathtaking views of mountains and woodland. The structure is chiefly concrete, but the design is humble enough that it’s anything but an eyesore in this magnificent setting.

A large man-made pond in front of the residence is, again, conceived to be multifunctional. It is not only pleasing to the eye and enhances the grandeur of the building, but it’s also a reservoir for the clean water that descends from the hills, useful for drinking and other domestic uses. Plus, it keeps prying eyes at a distance so that no one is disturbed while they’re meditating. The soil excavated for the pond was used to establish the foundation of the residence.

The interior is meant to be airy and well ventilated. In the long corridor are ventilation tubes installed above and below. The balconies vary in size, inspired by the rhythms of sermons and the breathing of the meditating participants as they strive to achieve mindfulness. They count from one to nine as an exercise in concentration, and count again at the end of each cycle to foster mindfulness.

The spacious rooftop is surrounded by water, almost as if to keep the practitioners from falling off. The placidity of this scene can’t be seen from the outside, though – it can only be appreciated from within.  The symmetric open-air corridor is paved with bricks in a pattern borrowed from a venerable temple, in a tribute to ancient Thai architecture.

The working team tapped its members’ expertise and kept watch on the budget. These were priorities, but so too was “the existence of things”. All these factors are reflected in the rough exterior surface and the meticulous interior design of the rooms.

From a distance, the building is like a white box inserted into the mountain. It was in fact designed so that the rocks stayed in their original places surrounded by the pond – in the middle of the structure – to keep the temperature inside mild and enhances the rocks’ stoic presence where they can be viewed from every level through the skylight box.

这座四层楼高的住宅坐落在Chon Buri的Wat pa Wachirabanpot，自然环境优美，从远处看不到，但令人惊讶的是，它很容易到达。它有一个冥想中心，是来练习的妇女的住所，作为她们的第二个家。

建筑中的100个房间设计引人注目，每一个房间都能欣赏到令人惊叹的山景和林地。这座建筑主要是混凝土结构，但其设计十分简陋，在这个宏伟的环境中，它几乎是一个亮点。

住宅前面的一个巨大的人造池塘，再一次被认为是多功能的。它不仅让人赏心悦目，提高了建筑的宏伟，而且还是一个从山上降下来的清洁水的水库，可用于饮用和其他家庭用途。另外，它会将窥视的眼睛保持一定距离，这样在冥想的时候就不会有人被打扰。为池塘挖掘的土壤被用来建立住宅的地基。

内部通风良好。在长长的走廊里，通风管安装在上面和下面。阳台的大小各不相同，其灵感来自于讲道的节奏和冥想参与者努力达到正念时的呼吸。他们从1到9算作集中注意力的练习，并在每一个周期结束时再次计算以培养正念。

宽敞的屋顶被水环绕，几乎是为了防止从业者坠落。然而，从外面看不到这一场景的平静——只能从内部欣赏。这条对称的露天走廊是用砖砌成的，砖砌成的图案借鉴了一座古老的寺庙，以纪念泰国的古代建筑。

工作组利用其成员的专业知识并密切关注预算。这些都是优先事项，但“事物的存在”也是如此。所有这些因素都反映在粗糙的外表面和房间精心的室内设计中。

从远处看，这座建筑就像一个白色的盒子插进了山里。事实上，它的设计使岩石保持在原来被池塘包围的地方（在结构的中间），以保持内部的温度温和，并增强岩石的坚忍感，在那里可以通过天窗框从每一层看到它们。
