Description:

House Dop Pi stands out for its distinctive single roof with two sloping sides, a rare architectural form that gives the house both presence and character. Its name, “The Hobby Horse”, comes from the two carved wooden handrails ending in horse-head motifs, a playful and symbolic detail unique to this house.

Originally built in 1956 in the village of Kompong Chèn, in Kompong Thom province, about 80 kilometres from Siem Reap, the house once belonged to a woman from a prosperous family of Chinese traders. Its refined craftsmanship reflects the care and means invested in its original construction.

Situated near the restaurant and at the edge of the property, the house offers a sense of openness while remaining private. Inside, the bedroom feels spacious and expressive, shaped by original wooden details and natural light. The interior opens onto a generous terrace, while the bathroom features a walk-in rain shower, completing this singular and characterful retreat.
