Hidden within Yaowarat, this spa reinterprets traditional Thai healing through space, material, and atmosphere. Rooted in the practices of Rue Si Dad Ton and Sen Pratarn Sib, the design offers a contemporary yet grounded expression of long-standing wellness traditions.
Set across a 1,000-square-meter site, the project integrates three existing low-rise buildings. Rather than replacing them, the design preserves their character, linking them through clear, intuitive circulation that balances continuity with moments of discovery.
The four-story main building serves as the primary entry. The ground floor houses a subdued lobby and retail space, defined by dark timber, limewashed walls, and bronze accents. Above, 25 treatment rooms are arranged across three levels, prioritizing privacy and calm. References to Thai ritual and temple architecture are abstracted into curved forms and layered thresholds, guiding a gradual spatial transition.
At the center, a two-story courtyard building introduces light and openness. A skylit void anchors the space, with a ground-floor lounge and herbal workshop encouraging interaction. Upstairs, a relaxed setting accommodates foot massage treatments alongside a small café.
The innermost building, the Thai Herbal House, focuses on wet therapies including scrubs, aromatherapy, and herbal steam. Here, the atmosphere becomes more immersive, shaped by heat, humidity, and natural materials.
Throughout, the palette remains restrained—charcoal-fired ceramics, clay tiles, and soft neutral tones—evoking Thai heritage without excess, allowing the spatial experience to take precedence.

Located in Soi Somkid, within the Ploenchit area, Orveda Maison Bangkok is a renovation of a 1950s wooden-and-concrete residence into a space for scientific beauty. The approach focuses on retaining the original structure while adapting it to support the brand’s spatial and functional needs.
A key concept in the project is harmony in duality. This reflects Orveda’s philosophy of balancing the visible and invisible, nature and science, tradition and modernity. In design terms, this is expressed through the combination of soft, organic forms with more defined, contemporary lines. Natural materials are paired with refined finishes to create a controlled contrast. Spaces are kept relatively calm and intimate, with selective integration of technical elements where required.
Positioned within a quieter part of inner Bangkok, the Maison benefits from its setting within a low-rise, green neighborhood. The existing house is largely preserved, with its proportions, structure, and material character maintained. Design interventions are kept minimal and precise—focused on improving circulation, introducing new functions, and aligning the space with Orveda’s identity.
The connection to the neighboring House of Fritz Hansen through a shared courtyard helps establish continuity across the site, linking architecture, landscape, and program.
Overall, the project does not aim to redefine the building, but to adjust and refine it. The design approach mirrors Orveda’s skincare philosophy, where balance and consistency are prioritized. The result is a space that supports both the operational requirements and the intended brand experience without relying on strong visual gestures.

Rooted in the heritage of Sukhothai, the design draws inspiration from the ancient kingdom’s timeless identity and cultural richness. The concept reflects the image of lotus ponds surrounding the historic city, reinterpreted within the lush landscape of Botanica Spa beside The Sukhothai Bangkok. While the exterior symbolizes the flourishing dawn of the kingdom, the interior evokes the serenity and intimacy of a lotus pond.
The palette references the muted green and ivory tones of traditional celadon ceramics, paired with the tactile quality of bronze handicrafts—materials deeply associated with the Sukhothai era. Architectural elements reinterpret iconic motifs found throughout the hotel, including lotus-inspired forms, pagoda-like decorative details, and iridescent surfaces reminiscent of silk panels.
Central to the concept is the lotus flower, long regarded as a symbol of purity, renewal, and resilience. Its ability to bloom untouched from muddy waters informs the spatial atmosphere and materiality. Deep green and earthy brown tones create a warm, calming environment, while curved forms and layered textures foster a sense of softness and retreat.
The ‘Pra-Kon’ wall pattern references traditional Thai architecture and is paired with green-toned finishes inspired by Sukhothai pottery, balancing heritage with contemporary expression. Within the attic-like volume, high curved ceilings recall the graceful form of a Thai elephant, lending fluidity and elegance to the space. A green terrazzo jacuzzi clad with light green mosaics completes the experience, accompanied by sliding doors that seamlessly connect to the bathroom beyond.

Located on a narrow site within the city’s dense CBD, the project combines a renovated apartment building with a new extension, separating onsen and spa functions while maintaining a cohesive spatial experience.
The design draws inspiration from Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery, expressed through a careful balance of old and new. This approach is reflected in the material palette, where Japanese minimalism is paired with locally sourced finishes.
A central courtyard becomes the key design strategy, introducing natural light and acting as a shared buffer between the two buildings. The arrival sequence begins on the second-floor lobby, where a bamboo-textured concrete wall anchors the space and creates a calm transition from the city outside. Circulation spaces are softened with wood flooring and concealed lighting, reinforcing a quiet, introspective atmosphere.
The onsen facilities, located on the upper floors, adopt a restrained palette of light-toned materials, slate stone, and indirect lighting. Spatial sequencing is designed to gradually shift the experience—from tactile and grounded to calm and immersive. In contrast, treatment rooms are more intimate, featuring soft lighting filtered through wooden screens reminiscent of shoji panels.
At ground level, a garden-facing restaurant extends the experience into a more social setting, while the rooftop bar reintroduces bamboo elements overhead, casting shifting light and shadow. A white marble mosaic floor subtly references the Kintsugi concept, tying the narrative together through material expression.
