Visiting Megapark recently, we were happy to see our architectural design for Megabangna has changed — in a good way. What was conceived as a “green scaffold” is now more fully realized, with plants growing in, softening the commercial complex and allowing the public landscape to blend into the architecture. We found a place that […]
Retail
My Front Yard Phuket
“My Front Yard” is a retail community that redefines traditional experiences by prioritizing open-air circulation, communal “neighborhood” planning, and a bold, unifying architectural language. Situated in front of a hillside in Phuket, the design avoids the monolithic “big box” retail approach, instead opting for a cluster of decentralized, low-rise pavilions that invite curiosity and exploration. […]
Everyday Food Place
In Thailand, good food can be found in all kinds of places. Whether it’s in Michelin-starred restaurants or on the corner of the street, the variety and diversity of Thai cuisine reflect Bangkok’s dynamic landscape. Food courts in Bangkok are ideal spaces for people to enjoy Thai food. The best of these ‘food havens’ become […]
Pleated Walls
In a recent retail design, Architectkidd conceived of pleated surfaces on all the walls of the interior space. Continuing our interest in materials and finishes, we found that pleated walls can be applied to spaces to create dynamic, textured surfaces. The folded nature of the pleats add subtle visual depth and a sense of movement. […]
Gaa – Transformation of a Thai House
Architectkidd creates new possibilities with an ancient Thai House for Gaa, a contemporary restaurant by Michelin starred chef Garima Arora. Gaa is a transformation of an ancient Thai house into a modern fine dining space. With the new design, Architectkidd reflects on the ongoing journey of the house, which originated from Ayutthaya, Thailand. The wood […]
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 […]
Creating Community & Public Space in a Shopping Mall
Architectkidd has completed the design of Megapark, a recreational and retail center for a shopping complex in Bangkok. The program introduces communal facilities, park, shopping and recreational areas across three levels to the existing shopping center. The challenge in the design was to transform a formerly closed commercial space into a more extroverted one for […]
Architecture for Horses (and People)
Architectkidd has completed the design of a horse-riding school in Bangkok. Named The Hay Equestrian Center & Eatery, the design is located on the outskirts of the city in Ekachai Soi 131. The main intention is to design a place that is friendly for both horses and people. Emphasis is made to create an architectural […]
Permeable Shopping Center
As part of a wider urban plan for the surrounding area in Bangkok, Architectkidd renovated a retail development occupying a large space at the busy intersection in the city. Taking an opportunity to question the typical closed “big box” model of shopping centers, the design aimed to create a more dynamic presence as well as […]
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 […]
