ASIA HOTEL LOBBY
Bangkok, Thailand 2022-Present Under Department of ARCHITECTURE Co
Asia Hotel is a thirty-year-old legendary hotel located in the middle of Bangkok. The renovation of the hotel lobby was intended to continue and symbolize the legacy of the past in a truly unique, sophisticated, and modern way The old chandeliers are the prominent feature and were requested to be preserved by the owner The crystal hanging in the chandeliers creates an interesting parabola curve, which inspired the designer to explore further about this mathematical curve created by different weights of objects and spacing

Scatter nine modules in the space
Accent with gradient type module and original chandeliers
Double-volume spaces with reflected finishes reflect the crystal installation, creating an immersive experience The old chandeliers were placed in the middle of the space, hanging at eye level, for everyone to be able to appreciate them closely. The bowl-shaped mirror centerpiece sculpture reflects the chandelier in surreal images while blocking people from touching the installation and the chandeliers
The copper color represents the color of the Asia Hotel logo Moreover, the industrial feel of copper finishing is an interesting contrast to the chandelier and crystal installation, balancing the space from being too traditional and luxurious and creating such a unique lobby that links to the past while also being forward-looking at the same time While the humble gray color of the entrance area makes the copper space stand out even more
MIST HOTSPRING HOTEL
Xuchang, Henan, China
2018 Completed Under Department of ARCHITECTURE Co
The MIST Hot Spring Resort is located in Xuchang prefecture, 100 km from Zhengzhou, a capital of China’s Henan province This region of China has been considered the nation’s most famous hot spring destination for over a thousand year since the Tang Dynasty era During the four months of winter, people from all over China visit its abundant hot springs. The MIST aims to be a new landmark of Henan that will attract both domestic and international travelers to the province all year round.
In central China, a combination of white snow, somber sky, and leafless trees results in a monochromatic picture with a rather gloomy impression for the most part of winter The project is our attempt to create a unique way to “colorize” our guests’ experience The idea of dyeing the space with colorized light onto monotone surface was adopted into architectural language The facade of the building is doubled with three dimensional lattice structure inspired by Chinese bamboo scaffolding, filled with shades of blue and magenta glazing. This system gives depth and color complexity to the façade, and combines balconies into a single architectural element The architectural and interior surfaces are kept monochrome to receive and heighten the effect of the colored light painted upon itself through the colored glass As sunlight shines through the facade, it floods the space with colorful light while at the same time; the colored glass brightens up the gloomy sky while looking out from the inside.
Lobby, overlooking the crystal installation at eye level with sculptural furniture as a space landmark
For the lobby and bar, an installation made of hundreds layers of clear and color crystals is inspired by a spectrum of light passing through hot steam which can be viewed differently depending on position of the viewers from the side, from the end ,or from inside the translucent volume of the installation itself. The lake landscape beyond is enchantingly seen through the sheer installation Its interior space is kept monochrome with color accents in crystals and floor lighting sculptures, to strengthen the idea of dyeing the space with colorized light
In the ballroom, a matrix of delicate acrylic rings forms a semitransparent, irregular cloud-like shape. This ceiling installation, together with the cloud pattern on the floor carpet, gives an unusual feel of lightness to the space Colorchanging lighting rings scattered in the midst of the cloud installation creates different moods suitable to different functions held in the ballroom
In the restaurant, an installation inspired by silver-lining silhouette of steam defines seating and kitchen zones Colorchanging light at the edge of the acrylic planes gives different moods through different time of the day
The hotel corridors, guest rooms are not joined by a typical corridor, but a series of bridges floating in the atriums Natural light come in either from skylight or the end wall highlighting the “mist” pattern made of stainless steel tiles and black stone Large installations in the atrium inspired by two states of water - the Dew and the Droplet
All the guest rooms orientate their long side to the view and to benefit the winter sun Its monochrome interior surface treatment was originated directly from the main architectural concept
LE DU RESTAURANT
Bangkok, Thailand 2023
Under Department of ARCHITECTURE Co
Commissioned to redefine Le Du in honour of its recognition as the Best Restaurant in Asia and the milestone of its 10th anniversary, our design approach seeks harmony with Chef Ton's exceptional culinary creations 'Le Du,' meaning 'Seasons' in Thai, embodies our celebration of the unique tapestry of flavours and colours unfolding with each passing season Inspired by his dedication to globalizing and enhancing Thai cuisine, seamlessly incorporating local ingredients and drawing inspiration from native dishes, Chef Ton transforms them into contemporary expressions through inventive culinary and presentation techniques Our design ethos aligns seamlessly with this innovative culinary perspective
Confronted with the challenge of a low-ceiling space featuring an irregular beam pattern, we dismissed the conventional concealment approach Instead, we embraced the irregularity of the beams, drawing an unexpected connection to the berm patterns found in Thai rice fields a pivotal reference shaping the design's inception
At the core of the restaurant's design is a site-specific ceiling installation, meticulously crafted to capture the beauty of Thai rice fields across diverse seasons Comprising thousands of glass tubes filled with curated Thai 'seasonings' and beads, suspended in curves, and seamlessly integrated with glass tube lighting fixtures, Thai 'Seasonings' here become a visual representation of the changing 'seasons' in Thai rice plantation landscapes
Thoughtfully representing each season, the fiery red of dry chili embodies the hot season, while the verdant green of pandan leaves, Kaffir Lime Leaves, and green beans mirrors the rainy season The golden glow of soybeans, golden rice, and caraway captures the essence of winter in the rice field Guests' culinary journey into the space corresponds with the rice farming ritual, transitioning from the seeding period in the Hot Season at the entrance to the Rainy Season and the harvesting season of Winter as they proceed into the dining area
In essence, this installation transforms the intrinsic beauty of Thai rice fields across seasons into a visually and experientially captivating ceiling installation, creating a multisensory intersection of design and gastronomy LEDU's design embodies our collaborative creative approach with Chef Ton utilizing Thai materials, drawing inspiration from local narratives, and redefining them with contemporary techniques
LITTLE SHELTER
BOUTIQUE HOTEL
Chiang Mai, Thailand
2019, Completed Under Department of ARCHITECTURE Co
Little Shelter is located in Chiang Mai where its old cityscape and vernacular architecture are characterized by wood structure with shingle pitched roof. The hotel roof form inspired by traditional hip roofs as homage to the local architecture has a little reinterpretation with an asymmetrical form blending naturally with the surrounding tree top silhouette The west side of the roof is partially carved out to become a roof deck for guests to enjoy the panoramic river view at sunset
The design continues the local architectural character through the use of the predominant traditional material – the wood shingles. The most interesting aspect of the material is in its system that has been well developed for hundreds of years. Small units of wood shingles are laid out like fish scales to become a watertight architectural plane The design has explored a possibility to fuse new materials into the system to create a contemporary architectural surface yet deeply rooted in tradition
The wood shingles are used entirely on the roof and side walls On the river facade, polycarbonate sheets are cut into the same size as wood shingles and constructed to become the architectural translucent shingled facade On the entrance façade, the upper portion is composed of solid wood shingles and they trickle down to mixed with the translucent polycarbonate shingles on the middle and lower part These architectural translucent surfaces delicately reflect the lush surrounding, create dramatic light condition for interior spaces, and become a glowing lantern at night
The cafe area and restaurant are divided by sharp cut edge created from contrast light and dark color materials
The public interior area gives a gallerylike feeling which accommodates the local site-specific installations inspired by the famous Boh–Srang umbrella of Chiang Mai, and creates delicate and dramatic silhouettes expressing contemporary interpretation of the local handicraft
The guest room interior is a place to rediscover Chiang Mai in a new angle, literally. Images of important places and events of Chiang Mai such as its ancient city wall, floating lantern festival, colorful Boh-Srang umbrella, pine forest, Pah-Chor canyon, etc., are placed on the entire ceiling. The images infinitely reflected onto the two long walls cladded with small mirror shingles, giving a surreal borderless sensation The images are all different for each of the fourteen guest rooms. Each emanates different and unique feeling: tranquil, warm, cultured, mysterious, energetic, etc suitable for any preferences of the guests
Little Shelter is not only a place to sleep It is an introduction of the past, the present, and probably the future of Chiang Mai to its visitors
CENTRAL CHIDLOM
WOMEN'S CLOTHING RETAIL
Bangkok, Thailand
2022-Present
Under Department of ARCHITECTURE Co
The women's clothing division of Central Chidlom takes up half of the fourth floor of the department store, sharing the space with the men's clothing division Light wood and copper are used as the main materials, complementing the men's clothing division, which used dark wood and brass . By
Department of ARCHITECTURE Co
Shoes Zone, under the concept 'library of shoes', is intended to give customers an experience of exploration by using L-shaped shelves to create that kind of space The shelves with fluted glass prevent the space from being overwhelming with too many shoes, while fluted glass maintains the feeling of a translucent effect that would not fully block customer vision. The shape of all the fixtures is inspired by the concept of 'traveling'; tree-shaped shelves and shoe stands are inspired by reefs.
