Begin with the threshold
The experience of arrival begins before a door. A sheltered walk, a change in light and a view into planting can make the transition from street to interior legible. In a Bangkok brief, consider what visitors see, hear and feel as they enter.
Let the material do real work
A timber screen can filter light and create privacy. A woven surface can introduce texture at the scale of the hand. Choose materials for their use, maintenance and construction detail as well as their appearance.
Leave room for contemporary life
A local identity can sit comfortably alongside modern art, international furniture and new ways of working. The brief should establish what belongs to the place and what belongs to the people using it.
