This contemporary five-bedroom house sits on two hilltop acres in Taling Ngam, offering panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand from the island of Koh Samui, 10 miles off the southeast coast of Thailand.
Called Quartz House, the three-story home is built into the rock with seams of crystalline quartz forming the interior walls of rooms on the first and second floors, said the owner, Hugh Kingsley-Heath, who designed and built the house, completing it in 2015.
