GRATITUDE DESIGN –TURN-KEY THAT TURNS HEADS
Gratitude Design is setting new standards of quality for luxury properties in Thailand. The design firm has been awarded Top 100 Architects & Designers 2022 by Luxury Lifestyle Awards for their exceptional performance in interior design, restoration, and construction.
Gratitude Design was established in 2015 by Warakorn Termwattannapakdee who is deeply involved in the daily operations of the business. Termwattannapakdee fulfills many roles such as executive director, co-founder, and even designer. In this way, Gratitude Design only delivers top-quality results.

The design firm is run from Nonthaburi, Thailand, which is often considered part of the Bangkok metropolitan area. Gratitude Design is well-positioned in this hub of arts, fashion, and entertainment.
Gratitude Design offers a turn-key approach to realty which encompasses all property-related services. The three main pillars of the business are restoration, interior design, and construction. Whether one requires assistance with conceptualizing the design, designing custom-made furniture, reevaluating the budget, or submitting documents to the city, Gratitude Design handles it all. The team has many years of collaborative expertise and carries with them an ethos of honesty, integrity, and perfectionism.
Director Termwattannapakdee was quoted as saying that interior design is about finding balance. She believes there should be a balance between the client’s desires and the design elements that find common ground in what she terms “truth”.
The interior design department boasts a great variety of projects, from freestanding homes to apartments, offices, and even restaurants and bars. Luxury Lifestyle Awards recently awarded Gratitude Design for Best Luxury Interior Design (Single Residential Property) for Quarter31 B3 project in Thailand. This project has ultra-modern interiors built onto a common courtyard in a community-style estate. There is a clear design thread drawn through the interiors of the residences - large walk-in

A less well-publicized secret of Gratitude Design is that the firm designs custom-made furniture through its network of approved manufacturers. Gratitude believes that in order for a luxurious design to be perfect, the contents should fit precisely.
Gratitude speaks on the evolution of oriental design in the Western World and how it has broadened catchment areas to now include India and other countries. The interior design firm has refined the use of the style and redefined what the term “oriental” means to the design world. This can be seen in the private residences of Ekkamai-Ramintra.
Gratitude Design has constructed a number of commercial projects, most of which are independently owned bars and restaurants in urban hotspots. All of the designs are very distinctly different, but all have one thing in common –progressive design.
The Gratitude Design’s workplace construction showcases an open plan space with showers of natural light from expanses of windows. The space has been designed for ultimate productivity and a positive atmosphere.
Not only is Gratitude well versed in interior design and construction, but restoration too. A prime example of this is the Full Time Traveler Boutique Hotel where the project showcases a complete overhaul of the interior and exterior of the building. The over 100-year-old exterior was refurbished giving life back to the aging wood exterior. Gratitude Design was careful to respect the existing façade by adding supportive construction in a non-invasive manner. The interior pods were reconditioned in a modern oriental style that Gratitude is renowned for.
There seems to be no limit to the scope of work that Gratitude Design can carry out at the highest quality levels. SHU (global fashion brand), Aura Bangkok Clinic (beauty center), and Petch (exclusive jeweler) are a few more noteworthy examples of their prestigious customers.

Gratitude Design now joins the top global rankings by being named one of the Top 100 Architects and Designers by Luxury Lifestyle Awards. The design firm has also recently been awarded by the Asia Pacific Property Awards, for its residential and retail interiors.

Hind Magoul, founder of the architectural, consultancy, and interior design firm Hind Magoul Interiors started off her journey into the world of design by studying International Trade at the American Business School in Paris. After graduating, she flew to Los Angeles where she enrolled in two courses at UCLA. In doing so, she embraced the beautiful City of Angels and the design that captivates it. Taking in mixtures of influence, boldness, and uniqueness she began to resonate within her and decides to immerse herself in it.
Her passion began academically with a preparatory class in art, and then she went on to receive her state license in interior architecture. As if that was not enough, she wanted to understand the rules of art and began absorbing knowledge in all shapes and forms wherever the opportunity presented itself.
Hind Magoul is convinced that art is conceived through eyes that feed on cultural differences, and with that belief, she packed her bags and moved to Italy to train in furniture design amongst the likes of prestigious brands such as Giorgetti, Edra, Gallotti & Radice just to name a few. Forging her own aesthetic identity, she constantly sought out knowledge and inspiration and rubbed shoulders with big names in the field, from Jean Marie Massaud to Paola Navone. Refusing to stop there, Hind Magoul wanted to understand space in all its components, in every detail.
Being led by this amazing woman, Hind Magoul Interiors constantly strives to acquire knowledge in every form, questioning each area of design to decrypt the techniques so that it may be the most imaginative and prestigious firm to date.
