Decades Of Experience

This project was locate in KL, Malaysia where inspired by 3 different cultures. A glimpse of France’s Architecture, a bit of Indian and a bit taste of Thai. Truly, I found Indian & Thai are having quite similarity in pattern ornament, color and some details. The things that was tied up these 3 together was color, I selected gold since it neutral, it elegant and it quite glamour for this certain interior space. The special selected pieces of furniture, wall drapery, and accessories were carefully composed as to add a bit of each special culture into the interior, not much, with just glimpse of each that really needed.

A reflection of French’s interior was described through the color palette of Blue & White. It was designed to be background to humble the space. Furniture stand out as an art piece, decorative chandelier, drapery, bed linen were selected to enhance the overall glimpse of luxury.

An indoor swimming pool? What’s an amazing requirement? I was impressed by the architecture that inspired by French’s architect but locate in Laos. A serenity country, the design was to emphasized on the inspiration of culture between French & Lao, carry both contexts were challenged. The combination of styles carried on through the column pattern, the arch ceiling, the floor pattern and the ornaments around were putting together in order to defined the living space that signifying identity of client, the signature of period & culture and lastly a place of loves.

The era of “Colonial” was really a memorable period that touch hearth rather than we perceived as architecture style.  With this keyword, we decided to jog-down a glimpse of colonial early from the start of building the architecture, such as a size of window, a high ceiling, the special design mounding work, the space planning were designed with Western size & proportion. While the interior designed in tonal of ivory (A Thai favorite tonal color) was used through-out.  The furniture collections, artwork were family heritage Thai’s collections, we decide to locate them around in Western space, that leave the overall feel of pride.

The color palette of pastel, a feeling of elegant, a glimpse of subtle and a fine uniqueness of lifestyle, were key words of this fantastic residence.

The challenge of this project was to tide up the 2 existing house with differences in height & style to be come as one single unit. The work was together with also 2 difference styles & different usage of spaces & personal collections. It’s a combination of personal loves of a colonial style house with a passionate collection of antique, we mean “Thai’s antique” a longtime belong through family heritage. Through the work together, finally come the spaces tides with a glimpse of colonial with subtle ambience along with a family beloved memory.

This project was really challenge, working through the period of Thai’s History in era of King Rama V, the most beautiful of Western’s Influences in lifestyle, art and architecture. It is also a client’s passionate that the design should hold strongly of Thai while bringing in ornament of Western, but not a lot. The combination of 2, have enrolled the design to be unique, the carving pattern was special designed in Thai’s letter in name of the client, while other ornaments such as bathtub, tiles pattern or even a stool at pantry were Western. The overall tied up as a transition of history through the use of today lifestyle. It was really fulfill.

This was a big challenge project. The valuable of this house was the history within it. The way of history play reflected through-out, the craftsmanship, the wooden floor that aged in color and texture.  The value and appreciation were phenomena. The difficult part was to refurbish the interior while maintain the art of history together. The color of wall & ceiling material were designed to be neutral ivory while the functionality of lifestyle in this day should reflect the character and lifestyle of the client. The selections of famous piece of furniture design by artist, the chandelier, the artwork were really fulfilled the space and truly a life of a client.

This designed for this house was fun.  The house was not in Bangkok, the building itself was fill with history of France’s architecture.  While the client want to create a dramatic contrast between outside and inside.  The contrast was carrying out through the design of modern line and materials were being observed on this site. The internal wall was stone laid in modern pattern, the height  of room allow to do nice modern cove ceiling light design, the modern art pieces were placed among through-out. It was always surprised the guest while the entering into the internal space.

It was challenge for me to do my own home, how should it will be, what style, what color, never ending question… Once, I realized that home is home nothing much than a place where my passion should be, a passion on my favorite style, my favorite color, my travel collections, my artworks; it was truly nothing fancy or need to be full perfect place. It is a house that should definitely just simply of me; a place where I can lay myself down and sleep comfortably. I loved my home really!

Project in the Middle…

This project was truly a compromised; I would say that because it was involved into totally different period of time, a vintage day v.s modern day. We keep the background of both period by carry the main color them of black and white, the rest was the mixture of furniture details, finishing that signifying a glimpse of vintage while the modern tools and form have strongly stand-out as a feature.

This house is truly outside of Bangkok, more of hillside & turf line through out.  The outside view is phenomena. The passionate of client is to have a humble house of English Cottage but into their neatness lifestyle.  The introduction of harsh wood-cut, wrought-iron work that done in rough hand-made reflected a smell of Old times English Cottage, in contrast with a perfection neatness of linen, drapery even an antique hand woven Persian Rug that really showing the classy twist design of interior space.

A word of “Art Deco” was hardly heard often in design.  It is really a passionate of client that loved this era. We designed to add an “Art Deco” glimpse into the design of ceiling and wall feature, so it’s would reflect a bit to this into the contemporary house. It liked a little twist.

Black Wing House, this key word ticks me out through the uniqueness of the client. The shoe’s collector, house is more than just a simple word “house”, but rather of passionate. The detailing of interior, was really fine, it was a perfections of craftsmanship. The dramatic of gallery atmosphere, elegant and glamour perhaps can be best described.

An inspiration of Thai’s period of King Rama V and King Rama VI, were probably the most romantic periods of Thai’s touch. In Thai, we simply called “Colonial Period” even we are not the colony. But the inspiration from Western in design, clothes, architecture, foods, many more, have bringing us to a glimpse of the most beautiful interior decoration.  An ivory color, molding, floor pattern & color, drapery, furniture and artifacts were carefully chosen to bringing together a sense of western but with a touch of Thai.

This project was magnificent. Probably more than 1o years ago, Moroccan Interior may not be very well recognized, but with the client being passionate with the craftsmanship, it was a great opportunity that we got to Morocco to learn about their culture & design history. The impression of spaces, architectural details, carving techniques, silversmith, were amazing.  Through the design process, space being create, while the glimpse that reflected of truly Moroccan were being ship and install on site. Every piece of tiles, marble, wood-cut, carpet, drapery, chandelier of even a tea cup were tied together, giving a house a truly spirit of Morocco.

The smaller the spaces- the more challenge of making it work.  The collections of Artwork, decorative ornaments, were client’s passionate.  They were collected during their trip or holiday. The design was to create a space that is not feeling of tidy, but airy. The fabric, wall color was chosen to be rather neutral canvas while decorative items would stand out uniquely.

This project was challenged, it locate in Chiang Mai, with top tourist destination. What can be different in doing a hotel in north of Thailand? The inspiration of the design came from the history during the arrival of Westerner in northern of Thailand in together with the Royal Lanna lifestyle that still laid-on northern Thai’s in every details. Food, dialogue, clothes, I mean everything. What I want to bringing in was the glamour of Lanna especially in era of High Royal into the space, with a respect toward the glory of Lanna’s period in northern Thai. All the detailing of wall paneling, crown molding, ceiling, door, bed, lounge chairs, even area rugs were carefully designed & selected to fulfill the era of glory & glamour. It is also important that guest should get a glimpse of our pride history.

Villa was inspired through the Burmese architecture & details.  It was also reflected into Thai’s lifestyle especially in northern on Thailand. The villa was designed from the log-house that was originally intended to keep the rice after the day of harvest. The size, ceiling in gabled pitch roof was normal design in Thai’s architecture, with heavy wood details.  The luxury of space was bringing by the touch of color palette and decorative ornaments.  The spiritual of flower & artifacts of Burmese, can easily seen through-out.

This project was inspired by the Palace ranges in Period of King RamaV. It was the place where the client was loved and passionate about the beauty of this “Colonia Period”. The design was carried on by introducing the touch of Thai Colonial through the use of color palette, wall paneling & its design molding, carving and wood work to signifying the uniqueness of period.  A humble touch of warmth, the will making the guest feel warmth & humble as the way they should feel at home, was what we want to achieved.

Kunming

This project was in Kunming, China. It is a hotel project.  It was a big challenge for me to designing a hotel that should bring a twist or Chinese into level of modernism. I started t look through the location, history, architecture, food, color, culture and people.  The designed was done to pulling-up for all those thoughts of modern by providing a sense of clean line, crisper details and simple meaning of Chinese through the color palette and art collections.

This project was a Chinese Restaurant in a 6 Stars Hotel. My thought toward this design, was to bringing a glimpse of modern Chinese eclectic with a real antiques collections. A feeling of charm in Chinese’s decorative features such as partition, a curvilinear detail, lighting were tied together with simpler lines & details while leaving the accent become dominant & strong over all antiques artworks collections that laid around the spaces.

This is quite challenge for us, the jewelry shop, what could we possibly make the space to be unique that reflected the client’s themselves? Even their jewelry design does also define their unique personality and taste.  What about, we make shop like a “Stage”? A bit of dramatic in spaces with pattern of shade and shadow playing as a stage background while display stand-out as a showcase. The ambience that draws attention to display items designed to leave the customer with a feel of glamour and gratitude.

This project was very challenged, a plastic surgery hospital. In normal thought, what the hospital should feel would definitely pop-up suddenly, but for this special case, I would want to twist and making the hospital become liked a luxury hotel’s atmosphere, so customer would feel relax, calm, rather than anxiety, frighten or scary. The introduce of glamour also the main concern, I want the customer to feel special, feel good of what they are already, the only reason they come to the clinic was just to surplus their beauty, nothing was wrong with them before.  The design of colonial was introduced into color palette, floor pattern, ceiling pattern, the magnificent detailing for workmanship was my priority concern, I would want the customer walk in to clinic that they can feel the detailing & perfectionist of craftsmanship in which should give them a feeling of perfection & comfort.

The Destination Restroom, why would it need to be destination? A few thoughts have running while we kicking off some keyword. The shape of the restroom was more liked a box, quite rigid & tidy. We thought of boxes, what about boxes of happiness. People come into restroom, should be relax & enjoy. The functionality designed to add a bit of high technology into tools & equipment, just to bring a smile , truly that what we needed.

Those are key words in describing for this Signature Restroom Concept. People would shock a bit for the signature restroom concept, was that really need? Today, perhaps it is probably the most talked about issue. The concept inspired by those keywords, leading us to the design at next level. It was challenged enough to express the work through boulders on site and an art gallery walk-through experiences. We created an identity for this restroom, putting a lifestyle into it, magnifying the architecture and leaving the natural glimpse of functionality.

It is my great pleasure to do this project, a VIP & CIP guest lounge at our proud Suvarnnaphoom Airport. In the meantime, it is quite nervous, how could we tide the glimpse of Thais into the interior spaces & decoration without being seeing them everywhere before? How could we make the sense of Thais so identical without a straightforward design or message? The word of contemporary just pop-out, we finally designed a pattern that simply a frit-graphic into the glass partition with accent interiors space with color of natural earth tone from Thai Silk.
