The Good Home Must Meet All The Needs Of The Family

Line

           To build a home where warmth and love is centered is not a matter of only 2 loves or the amount of money spent on it but in Thai society a ‘home’ is also connected to the persons we love too.
 
           When the living area of the old house became narrow for the family members, doctor Porntep—an instructor in Otolaryngology Department, Srinakarin Hospital, his 2 aunts, a sister and his wife doctor Cathaliya or Mor Paeng—an anaesthetist, Srinakarin Hospital and to fulfill the happiness to Kasemsiri family, the seeking of a new house started. After a careful planning, doctor Porntep, a becoming-a-dad (at that time) decided to look for a new house which can the warmth to the family members as the old one. Being concern about 2 aged aunts, the doctor ignored a house in a development project and decided to build a new how close to the old one.


          “ As soon as I know that my wife is pregnant, I know that the old house 4 of us are staying in is too narrow because a house will be filled with toys for a child. I think it is the time to build our own family but still worry about my about so I have to fine the solution. There is a vacant land close to our old house so I decide to build a new house there instead of buying a house from a development project so I can have a new house in the acquainted environment and I can still take care of my aged aunts.” Doctor Porntep said.

        Because both doctor Porntep and doctor Cathaliya are government officers, they have to work from Monday-Friday and sometimes have to stay on duty for emergency cases and also provide their spare time at their own clinic, the seeking and recruiting home builder company is a big thing for them.

         “We have 2 choices at that time. One is go to home builder company and another is go to the acquainted contractor.” Khun Mor Paeng to ld us about her decision and also how to collect data. “  We begin with asking people around us about how they build their houses. Then we search the internet for the builders and assess the data and finally decide to go to a home builder company. This is because we both are too busy with our jobs so we don’t have time to follow the construction closely.

         "There are many doctors working at Srinakarin Hospital have PD HOUSE Khon Kaen office build their houses. We talked with them to gather data to compare with other home builder companies to make a decision.
 

 
         I was impressed with PD HOUSE Home Builder Center, Khon Kaen office under the supervision of PD HOUSE Corporation Co., Ltd from the first time I met them. They gave us good advice and  information. We felt more confident when we learned that there are offices of the company almost all provinces in the country. We knew that they are professional and can be easily accessed.

          Doctor Porntep also added, “ before we decide to have PD build our house, we walked into the office almost a month because we worry about the narrow entrance to the land but PD relieved us about the matter.”
 
After the construction started, the couple occasionally visited the work site as well as their beloved aunt who gave a hand in some minor items.
 

          “We are exciting to see the dream house gradually form.” Doctor Porntep then let Mor Paeng go on,” because we live close to the work site so we can see the daily progress of the construction. From the bare land, then the piles, then structure and at last completed. We have just moved in in January.”

          Though this contemporary style house on 2 ngan plot of land is not a big one, the happiness within the house is not less than in a big mansion because it is not only built with love and concern of children to their beloved cousin, but the owners intended to build in harmony with the old one which full of valuable memories.
 

 
           Most of the structure of the house is concrete and glass with a little woodwork. The first floor divided into 1 bedroom, a kitchen, a dining room and a living room. The bedroom on the first floor is planned for the aged parents and cousins so the door is wide enough for the wheelchair to go through and there is a ramp at the side of the house for the wheelchair too.”

          The dining and living area are connected so the activities of the family members in the living area can be easily seen from the dining. The kitchen is at the back ready to serve delicious meal to those needed. The wooden stairs lead to the second floor where master bedroom and 2 other bedrooms located. A bathroom is added on the second floor ready to host guests in the future.
 
           The uniqueness you can see in the house comes from the mixed idea of the family members. The simplicity but beauty of the bathroom downstairs created by the wife whereas the feeling closing to nature of the green bathroom in master bedroom is the idea of the husband. The bedroom with a doll is the need of their cute daughter.

           When asked about the first night moved in, the couple disclosed that “when we are all together in the first night we are afraid we can’t close our eyes because we are not used to the place but no problems, everyone has a sound sleep.”
 

 
          For ‘Kasemsiri’ family, a home is not only a place to live in but it means love and relationship of all family members. The building is only a structure to provide room for love and understanding.

          The doctors left the message to those who can’t decide between buying a house in a development project or build their own houses that,” buying a readymade house you can move in at once but you lose the chance to choose what you need because  the materials and accessories used are not what you expected. It is okay if you can accept that.But if you own a plot of land and want to build your own,  should study the information of the builders. No one know who is the best but good information can help you make a right decision.
