Located in a vacant plot
surrounded by a high-rise residential complex in the heart of the Sathorn
district, BLOQyard is intended to reintroduce a neglected area of Bangkok
with new activity.
BLOQyard set out to be the neighborhood dining space where visitors can come, within walking distance, to enjoy the food and hang out. The project is also an attempt at a small-scale urban regeneration effort, transforming underutilized spaces into vibrant community assets
The layout draws from the courtyard topology, formed by a straightforward steel structure to mitigate the construction cost, and at the same time modular in design to facilitate quick completion. Each courtyard, characterized by a unique pattern cinder block, provides a double-height wall that shields visitors from the cluttered surrounding and allows each vendor to have a common space for shared activities. Light mesh chairs and moveable furniture are opted for flexibility and various planned event.
Instead of maximizing the saleable area with conventional row units, the plants were integrated into the project to provide the dense neighborhood, with a quiet clearing oasis. Inspired by a renowned urban development such as Parleys Park, one of the project’s main objectives is to develop a healthy environment that gives back to the community and improves visitors’ experience.

The
softness and sensual crescent shape help frame TSUKI, the new hair salon shop
Located on the 3rd floor of the low-ceiling shophouse in the commercial district of Bangkok, the salon was created as an extension of the already established spa, YUMOTO. The name TSUKI (TUSKI - moon) has been chosen to mirror the identity of the spa. Imagined as the moon reflected on the hot spring surface (YUMOTO – the source of the hot spring)
To mitigate the narrow corner and small footprint, the brief for this project was to design a minimalistic space where the customer would feel the most visually comfortable. Round corners, tactile texture, and a warm beige color scheme, all drawn from the moon's characteristics have been chosen to convey the concept.
The interior is also set to express sensuality. The monochromatic material harmoniously imbues the spaces with soothing and a sense of relaxation. The crescent façade design that echoes the concept was purposely placed to draw the customer in and help convey the brand’s intangible qualities. In the day of the social media age, this distinguished shape will additionally lend itself to improved brand recognition.
Light plays an essential part in the project. The soft, backlights accent the interior’s tactile surface, creating a soothing environment. To further present the moon's characteristics in design, the signage lighting takes cues from the moon phase and creates a duality where the dimmed light could be presented from waning to full moon.

The design draws inspiration from the symbolism of the number 11 — a mirrored pair — translated into spatial reflections, symmetry, and layered visual perspectives throughout the interior. Exposed concrete, muted grey tones, and reflective surfaces establish a calm and contemporary atmosphere while maximizing the perception of space within the compact footprint.
Public spaces are designed to feel intimate yet open, balancing functionality with a quiet architectural character. Guest rooms continue the same material language with carefully integrated built-in furniture and soft lighting that enhance comfort without excess ornamentation.
