Miwa Negoro — Thu, 07 May 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Harudot Khao Yai is located on a sloping site descending from the main road toward a large water basin, opening to a panoramic view of the Khao Yai landscape. The architect recognized the site's potential not only as a café destination, but also as a public viewpoint—one that could be accessed independently by passersby without entering the café itself.

Miwa Negoro — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 19:00:00 +0000

TN House is a two-story residence designed for a couple with a passion for art and a lifestyle that often includes hosting friends and social gatherings at home.

Miwa Negoro — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 02:00:00 +0000

Villa Zai is a boutique seaside hotel designed primarily for full-property private group stays. It serves guests who wish to spend time together as a close group, as well as couples seeking a complete wedding venue that supports both the ceremony and reception. With only nine units (eleven bedrooms), the accommodations are intentionally limited to the bride, groom, and their closest family and friends. Additional guests may stay at the owner's nearby sister properties located within a short distance from the main site.

W House II / IDIN Architects

Miwa Negoro — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 07:00:00 +0000

This project is an extension of the first house, W House I, due to the expansion of usage needs. The owner wanted to move to the new house as their primary residence and turn the first house, W House I, into a guest house. The design challenge arose from the owner's desire for a single-story house where everyone in the family could see each other and engage in activities together throughout the day. At the same time, the owner greatly enjoyed the beautiful mountain view from the rooftop of the original house and wanted to maintain space for their two pet cows, allowing them to walk and graze.

M House / IDIN Architects

Miwa Negoro — Sun, 17 Aug 2025 21:00:00 +0000

"M house" is a private house that is built on the former front garden of the client's previous house, where she lived with her mother. There are a number of large existing trees that were planted long ago by the client's father for the mother, hence the reason for the client's wish to save them for keepsakes, that have resulted in an even smaller buildable area. The architect started designing from the leftover spaces in between the trees, using these "negative spaces" to form the building with the intention of using each existing tree as a view for the different functions of the house. This leads to a unique plan, where the architecture turns and swerves to avoid existing trees and to create a view for each room.

Nana Coffee Roasters / IDIN Architects

Hana Abdel — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 07:00:00 +0000

Nana Coffee Roasters, Central Westville Branch started from the question of how we can communicate the story of the Nana Coffee Roaster Brand in a distinctive way within a small area of 150 sq.m. The concept is derived from the conversation with the brand owner as he recalled his business journey to the time when he sees the "light at the end of the tunnel", this story, combined with the available small space, have inspired the architect to design a cave-like structure containing "space within space".

Riva Vista Riverfront Resort / IDIN Architects

Andreas Luco — Fri, 26 Jan 2024 18:00:00 +0000

“Riva Vista Riverfront Resort” is a 61-key hotel situated next to Kok River in the heart of Chiang Rai province. Known for its distinctive ancient traditions, Chiang Rai is experiencing rapid growth in recent years and has become one of Thailand’s famous destinations. The brief requires a design of a medium-size hotel on a site that is adjacent to a river in the heart of a city. It has to answer to the lifestyle of city dwellers, who are the main target users of the project. The architect’s intention is, therefore, to capture the essence of modernity with a vernacular Northern Thai character and deconstruct both aspects into one seemingly peculiar “dish” that uses vernacular ingredients but is prepared in modern techniques - a mixture of both old and new.

Harudot by Nana Coffee Roasters / IDIN Architects

Hana Abdel — Mon, 22 Jan 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Harudot is a stand-alone café in Chonburi, a famous beachside town in Thailand. This cafe is a result of a collaboration between the Nana Coffee Roasters brand owner and the landlord, who has a particular interest in plants with unique forms. The name “Haru” translates to “Spring” in Japanese, referring to “new beginning” and “growth,” while “Dot” symbolizes a “starting point.” The two main requirements for this cafe are to, firstly, design a "destination" with an interesting experience that is able to attract visitors, and secondly, to include the landlord's identity into the design in order to signify this unique collaboration. The architect chooses to focus on the concept of new beginnings and growth by including the trees at the heart of the design. Here, a bottle tree (baobab) has been placed in an inner court where the gable form of the architecture is pulled apart to allow for its growth towards the sky. This makes it appear as if the seed of the baobab had been planted long before and grew out through the architecture as time passed.

ARQ10 House / IDIN Architects

Andreas Luco — Fri, 19 Jan 2024 01:00:00 +0000

This project, “ARQ” is designed to be a house for a small modern family, where all of the spaces need to serve the functions efficiently. As all of the houses are located in an urban neighborhood, each with a compact plot size, the architect is challenged with creating sizable green spaces, swimming pools, and enough spaces for other activities to suit the lifestyle of modern-day city dwellers. Most of the expansion has to be done vertically, with an emphasis on the abundance of natural light and cross-ventilation.

Dusit D2 Hua Hin Hotel / IDIN Architects

Hana Abdel — Sat, 14 Jan 2023 23:00:00 +0000

Dusit D2 hotel is located in Hua Hin, one of the popular provinces for family vacations in Thailand. Since the project plot is not adjacent to the beach and is surrounded by other shophouses and condominiums, the primary consideration is to create privacy and to create its own picturesque views to compensate for the beachfront area.

Keereetara Restaurant / IDIN Architects

Hana Abdel — Tue, 10 Jan 2023 01:00:00 +0000

Keereetara is a brand-new restaurant intended as a replacement for its original branch located nearby. The restaurant itself is one of the most popular and successful Thai restaurants in Kanchanaburi, so the owner decided to maintain a sense of the traditional Thai style reflected in the building that links to the Thai dishes served. Due to its small property size, especially when compared to the required functions of a major restaurant branch, the restaurant needs to be able to support large-scale events such as seminars, and weddings.

NANA Coffee Roasters Bangna / IDIN Architects

Hana Abdel — Fri, 06 Jan 2023 06:00:00 +0000

The concept of NANA Coffee Roasters, Bangna Branch is to create spaces that enhance the coffee-drinking experience where the coffee becomes the main center of attention. The architectural expression of the project was simplified, while the design is shifted to combine architectural spaces harmoniously with the landscape to create a lush atmosphere that draws the visitors away from the buzzing Bangna-Trad motorway, redirecting their focus onto the coffee.

Suanphlu Office / IDIN Architects

Hana Abdel — Fri, 02 Sep 2022 22:00:00 +0000

Suanphlu Office is a private office with the owner's penthouse on the top floor. It is situated next to Lao Pueng Thao Kong shrine, a historical shrine of Suanphlu’s community. The building’s main orientation faces the shrine, which is also in the west direction that receives a lot of sunlight. The neighbor becomes an important factor in the facade design. The facade design has to not only consider the view of the users on the inside and the amount of sunlight getting through the building but also be aware that this facade also serves as a backdrop for the community with the potential to reflect the harsh sunlight onto the neighboring shrine.

MDC Headquarters / IDIN Architects

Andreas Luco — Sat, 30 Oct 2021 23:00:00 +0000

The project is a headquarters of MDC (Thailand), a medical equipment company, to support its business expansion. The design aims to reflect MDC’s character of medical equipment which is neat, clean, creative, and innovative. Thus, all of the building is designed in white combining steel structure, perforated steel sheet, and reinforced concrete. The different masses of the building appear to float at different angles, creating a dynamic space. All the spaces do not only create motivation for the staff but also visually represent a creative unique character of the company.

Tara villa is a small resort situated at the bank of Kwai river. This place can support weddings, conferences and other feasts. There is a large area on the rear of the project provided for further residential construction. The common building provided as a reception and multi-purpose court was placed along and confront the direction of Kwai river as to take advantage of river view. The court which was connected with swimming pool by the end of this continuous space, lied an exclusive family suite type-residential room. This room specially provided for a group of family rather than a couple because of the possibility of the disturbance noise. Otherwise, it can be converted to accommodate a spouse as a honeymoon suite type because of its spacious area, so the couple would be independent from the rest of the visitors in the other wing of resort.

Since the first Chouifong Tea Cafe began operation in 2015, the Chouifong plantation has gained plenty of tourists’ attentions and became one of the most famous tourist attractions in Chiangrai. Due to such an excess of tourists in the first cafe, Chouifong Tea Cafe 2 is established in order to serve the need. The second phase is located on the plantation hill near the first cafe.
