KIRI ONE

A solar garden retreat

One suite. One edible garden. A quieter way to stay in Chiang Mai.

Explore

The proposition

Built for less noise.
Designed for more life.

KIRI ONE is a compact technology-forward retreat shaped around shade, food, energy, and stillness. A low charcoal pavilion disappears into Chiang Mai's green while its entire roof becomes a solar power plant.

Inside, pale mineral surfaces, glass, brushed metal, and soft textiles replace decorative timber. Outside, an edible garden and sheltered terrace turn a short stay into a slower rhythm.

01 · The place

Landed lightly

A precise line
inside a living field.

The operating idea

Technology in service of calm.

01

100% solar roof

Every usable roof plane is treated as one disciplined all-black photovoltaic field.

02

One generous suite

More space where it matters: a private sleeping, bathing, dressing, and media retreat.

03

Edible landscape

Herbs, fruit, and productive beds make the garden part of the daily experience.

04

Quiet intelligence

Climate, lighting, access, security, energy, and charging work as one discreet layer.

02 · Architecture

The roof is not an accessory.
It is the energy system.

03 · Interior

Fewer materials.
Richer atmosphere.

Mineral plaster, pale stone, anodized metal, glass, and textiles—precise, tactile, and intentionally low on timber.
