We found this 160-year old traditional Khmer house in the countryside near Damdek, some 50 km from Siem Reap. The original configuration with a large balcony-verandah on the front has been respected. The elegant 3-tier roof and the quality of hardwood is a testimony of the richness of Cambodian architectural traditions in pre-colonial times.

As with all our projects of rehabilitation-repurposing of Cambodian traditional houses, this one involved a) carefully taking apart the original structure, b) transportation to our site, c) new design adapted to hotel unit specification, replacement of damaged pieces, new interior walling for better sound and temp insulation.

In recognition to its old age and style, we call it Boran House, meaning ‘Ancient House’ in Khmer.

The large adjacent private pool with its cascading waterfall can be privatized for Boran House, or shared with the Pond Villa West guests.
