Green Scaffold

Architectkidd’s design for Megapark is meant to be a kind of a “green scaffold”. The structure can accommodate vertical vegetation, and together with the planting and landscape design, forms an environmental filter between the interior and exterior spaces. The design allows for daylight and natural ventilation to permeate the building within a tropical climate. The […]

Play Based Architecture

Architectkidd’s design for the Apple Tree Kindergarten is a school for children between the ages of 1.5 to 5 years. The school aims to foster a positive and stimulating environment that inspires and enables holistic development through play-based learning. Simplicity, Clarity and User-Friendliness were the key concepts of Architectkidd’s design. The building is curved, with […]

Live Wires

Architectkidd has completed Now 26, a building using steel tubing as its primary material. The building – a production studio and offices for the television station Now 26 – is a renovation of an existing structure. During the initial stage of the project, the removal of the old cladding exposed the existing steel structure along with […]

Essence in an Eatery

“ABC represents the starting point, the most basic essence of eating,” according to restaurateur Pakamon “Nina” Somboonvechakarn.  The goal is to combine creativity along with high-quality ingredients to give taste and nutrition to the menu. For the design of the ABC Eatery, Architectkidd devised various techniques to filter natural light into the interior space. Among the […]

Telescopic Spaces

Architectkidd has completed the flagship store for a fashion hand bag label. With this retail design in Bangkok, the aim was to challenge some of the limitations posed by conventional spaces. Instead of a fixed layout, the design is composed of three rectangular frames that form the overall enclosure. These frames are nested inside each […]

Curved Steel Fabrications

For a recent interior design project, Architectkidd designed a steel screen for the lobby of a high rise residential building complex. The intricate pattern is made from steel plates that were individually curved. Each of the plates were then completed with a hand-finished copper coating. The challenge during the fabrication was bending the steel plates in […]

Steel Techniques

The Architectkidd team is currently working on a project that involves designing with steel in construction and detailing.  So during a review of a full-scale mockup that is in progress, several  Architectkidd designers visited a steel fabrication factory in Pathum Thani, on the northern outskirts of Bangkok. The type of projects this factory seemed to […]

Sound Wave: Hard Rock Facade

The design for the new Hard Rock Cafe in Bangkok will mark a new approach for the global Hard Rock brand. This is probably most dynamically expressed in the facade design of the building’s exterior. For Architectkidd, the starting point for this facade design were the shapes, rhythms and structures of sound. Interpreting sound into […]

Hand Made Facades

We’re not quite facade engineering specialists, but we have been using our curiosity as motivation to investigate possibilities and materials in buildings.  In the process, we hope to develop designs that are not strictly limited to functional or technical criteria.  In this recent project, we have created a new 3-storey facade using hand-made woven plant […]

Smooth Reception

The Thai Obayashi wood reception counter is now installed in the company’s headquarters building on Rachadamri Road.  This counter is the final piece for this project, which involves the renovation of the office building’s interior spaces. What was interesting for us was that there was a high level of collaboration and experimentation compared to other commercial projects.  In order to […]

Green Walls

The headquarters for Goodwill has been completed. The building provides a new workplace environment for administrative staff and engineers who build and maintain the industrial kitchen equipment that the company provides to its clients. In developing the design for the workplace environment, we studied the possibilities for applying soft landscape for every architectural surface of this building.  We developed details to provide for plants […]
