Local materiality and creativity come together in a residential design in Bangkok, reimagined by Architectkidd with simplicity and intention. Located in an early-generation high-rise building in Bangkok, this apartment unit enters a new chapter as a modern residence. Departing from the lightweight construction approaches and finishes typically found in new renovations, our interior design balances […]
Thailand
White Hotel Thailand
Thailand is seen by many as one of the most attractive countries to travel to in the world. Its tropical landscapes, beaches and oceans make it a destination for travelers seeking relaxation and wonder. The country’s warm and welcoming hospitality has earned Thailand a place on many “must-visit” lists. The hospitality industry is also experiencing […]
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. […]
Veils for Gaa
For a recent addition to Restaurant Gaa in Bangkok, curved veils introduce a wispy and flowing nature to the interior space and provide for a serene and tranquil experience. Veils are delicate things – layers of thin materials that hide and obscure views from beyond. At the same time, veils elevate the objects from within […]
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 […]
Light Space Hotel
Located 200 km west of Bangkok, Hua Hin is a resort town where people go to escape the big city. Architectkidd’s design for the Palayana Hotel in Hua Hin aims to maximize its natural qualities and to create a place to escape from the chaos of urban life. The Palayana tasked Architectkidd to build on […]
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 […]
What to See in Thailand
Whether it’s due to rebuilding efforts, tourism recovery or public relations, there seems to be more attention on Thailand these past months. In May and June, several publications, including Monocle and Dwell Asia, made visits to Architectkidd to discuss the architecture and design scene in Bangkok. For us, it was fun to exchange ideas and […]

Architectkidd has been participating in the event, with the main theme titled “Waterbrick”. Being directly involved in the Architect Fair this time, we began to realize the enormity […]
Design is Accumulative
For the ASA Forum (Association of Siamese Architects Forum) this year, the overall topic of discussion is titled “Bottom Up”. Jariyawadee Lekawatana, Luke Yeung and Phuttipan Aswakool were on hand to present some of Architectkidd’s latest projects to the audience. Architectkidd had been invited to give a talk as part of the “Thai Young Generation Series” along […]
From Mountains to Building Materials
The art of stone cutting is a process that involves massive machinery, brute force and lots of water. Recently, team members from Architectkidd had the opportunity to visit several factories in Bangkok and Saraburi, a nearby province where much of the stone is processed into building materials in Thailand. Inside these enormous factories and warehouses, workers […]
