This little home is called ‘The Roof House’ in which it is located in Lat Phrao’s area. It is an extension of the old house that is located nearby. The land has a square shape at a size of 16×16 meters; surrounding by residential houses along its three dimensions.Whereas the front area has a small quiet alley passing by.
