Welcome to the Property Series Part 3! In this edition, we will be exploring 11-14 different types of properties, including colonial homes, home offices, tiny homes, and container homes. Whether you're looking for a spacious family home or a unique, eco-friendly living space, we've got you covered. Join us as we dive into the characteristics, advantages, and potential drawbacks of each of these exciting property types.

Colonial Homes

Looking for a timeless home with a touch of history? Look no further than Colonial properties! With their roots dating back to America's colonial period in the 1600s, this iconic home style has a strong British influence, making it a unique addition to any neighborhood.

Colonial properties are known for their boxy shape, centered front door, and balanced window placement. While the layout may seem formal, it's perfect for hosting guests and maximizing movement throughout the house. The bedrooms are usually located on the second floor, providing privacy and separation from the common living areas.

Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a central staircase with the kitchen, dining room, and living room around it. The symmetrical layout creates a sense of balance and tranquility throughout the home, making it an excellent choice for families or those seeking a more structured living space.

Another advantage of Colonial homes is their natural symmetry. Need an extra room or a larger kitchen? Expanding the property is a breeze thanks to the rectangular design. Although Colonial properties are less common in Thailand, their classic design and functional layout make them a unique and practical option for homebuyers seeking a home with character and potential for future expansion.

Home Offices

During the past two to three years, many people have worked from home more frequently due to the pandemic. As a result, there has been a trend toward creating a dedicated workspace within the home. This is where the home office property type comes in.

Home offices are modern townhouses designed to serve a dual purpose: a living space and a large dedicated workspace. The ground and first floors are dedicated to office space, while the upper floors are used for living areas with your family or loved ones. These modern-looking townhouses are mainly located on the outskirts of Bangkok, but they're still within easy access to transportation, particularly the new BTS yellow lines, making it possible to get into the city center quickly and easily.

The home office property type has become increasingly popular as it offers the flexibility to work from home without compromising comfort or style. A dedicated workspace on the ground floor makes maintaining a work-life balance while staying productive easier. Home offices are also gaining popularity for living with your peers and friends, as you can share the cost of living together.

Tiny Homes

Tiny homes can be as small as 100 square feet! Despite their small size, they're equipped with all the essential spaces you need, including a kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and a living area. You'll get a smaller version of these spaces without sacrificing privacy.

One of the most significant advantages of tiny homes is their affordability. You can find tiny homes for less than the price of a new car and without the burden of a mortgage. With plenty of windows to maximize natural light, these homes offer a bright and welcoming atmosphere. As a bonus, some tiny homes can be towed to different locations, allowing you to enjoy beautiful scenic views all year round.

With its unique charm and affordability, a tiny home may be the perfect solution for your next living space. While tiny homes are ideal for one or two people or a couple, they may prove challenging for larger families. However, placing a tiny house on a beautiful plot of land can make up for any potential need for indoor space.

Container Homes

Have you considered a container home? Shipping containers have been transformed into modern, stylish homes, becoming increasingly popular. If you're looking for a unique and eco-friendly housing option, this might be the solution for you.

Not only are these homes environmentally conscious, but they also offer incredible customization opportunities. You can mix and match containers to create a unique space or blend them with traditional materials like brick to achieve a more classic look. The possibilities are endless.
