Athita Pool Villa and Spa, Chiang Saen, Chiang Rai
Design: Studio Miti

photo : Spaceshift Studio
Drawing on the site’s rich urban history, the masterplan reinterprets the morphology of Chiang Saen’s historic trok-soi (alleyway) network, preserving public permeability and reinforcing connections between the development and the surrounding community. The layout demonstrates a sensitive response to its cultural context, maintaining respectful spatial relationships with the neighbouring Athi Ton Kaeo Temple while celebrating the area’s architectural and spiritual heritage.

Nachan The Antique Courtyard Hotel, Loei
Design: PAVA architects

photo : Spaceshift Studio
Nachan The Antique Courtyard Hotel is conceived as a small-scale cluster of tranquil pavilions that evokes the quiet character of a traditional riverside village along the Mekong. Designed to sit lightly within its setting, the hotel minimizes its physical footprint through the extensive reuse of reclaimed timber and a restrained architectural approach. The composition integrates seamlessly with the existing landscape, allowing the built form to recede into its natural surroundings while reinforcing a strong sense of place and environmental stewardship.
