从曼谷向东行驶一小时便可到达该项目的所在地——北柳府，这里是靠近城市、大片工厂以及泰国湾的郊区，其中，临海位置使这里的土壤盐分极高。别墅位于带有人工池塘的平坦地块上。这座人工池塘本计划用于提供饮用水、调节环境和放松氛围。但盐渍导致池塘中出现微咸水，因而不能用于饮用、家用以及农用。为了将其变成淡水，需要引入雨水进行稀释。

The site is an hour’s drive away through the East from Bangkok; Chachoengsao, in which the suburb’s living environment is closed to a city, many factories and the sea (Gulf of Thailand), which produces excessive level of soil salinity. A non-terrain land with an artificial pond is where the villa is located. This man-made pond was built to be used as consuming water as well as an atmospheric visualization and all relaxation senses. As mentioned above, saline soil causes brackish water in the pond, which the water was no longer used for consuming not only for household use, but also agricultural use. In order to alter this low biodiversity water into freshwater, rainwater is needed to dilute an existing water in the pond.
