project info/
A new design hotel is located in the vibrant area of Siam Square in Bangkok. The hotel's design draws inspiration from traditional Thai elements, particularly the Pun-Lom (the bargeboard of a traditional Thai house, which is often elaborately carved), which has been modernized and translated for the hotel's facade using contemporary materials like stainless steel chain links. The interior and furniture will prominently showcase a lively Thai color palette, especially in the common areas, while the guest rooms provide a more subdued atmosphere for a restful stay.
