Designing for Curious Minds
The British International School Phuket, learning extends beyond the classroom.
The Innovation Hub transforms underutilised space into a connected environment where Design Technology, Computer Science, Robotics, and Art converge. A central project area anchors the plan, encouraging collaboration, experimentation, and shared learning.
The design draws from nature through abstracted forms and patterns. These elements create a calm, intuitive spatial language while supporting curiosity and exploration.
Material choices prioritise durability and clarity. Polished concrete, open ceilings, and glazed partitions allow the space to perform as both workshop and showcase.
This is a learning environment shaped around interaction, making, and exchange.

Designing for the Creator Economy
Cloud 11 reconsiders the workplace for a generation that creates, collaborates, and operates without fixed boundaries.
Conceived as a hub for the creator economy, it brings coders, filmmakers, designers, and digital entrepreneurs into a single adaptive environment. Spaces move between focus and exchange. Structure supports creativity rather than containing it.
Identity is embedded in the architecture. Circulation is intuitive. Social spaces form part of the working day.
This is not a workplace defined by desks or schedules, but by the people who occupy it.

Global vision meets Italian craftsmanship.
dwp Bangkok studio recently returned from an exclusive design journey to Italy, a curated programme organised by industry partners Parazzo and Renos Group to coincide with Salone del Mobile 2026.
The itinerary offered direct access to European manufacturing facilities, beginning with the Scavolini factory and showrooms in Pesaro. For dwp Khun Meedatch Inthong and Khun Filippo, the experience traced the production process from initial material selection through to the finished product, providing deeper insight into the craftsmanship and philosophy behind one of Italy’s leading kitchen brands, represented by Renos Group.
The journey extended to Milan for Salone del Mobile and Fuori Salone, offering firsthand observation of global advancements in furniture innovation, materiality, and sustainability. Across the fairgrounds and through immersive installations in historic palazzos, the team explored how traditional craft techniques continue to adapt to contemporary digital integration and market demands.
The trip forms part of dwp’s strategic approach to empowering its top design talent and maintaining active connections across an international network. By continuously engaging with global manufacturing standards and fostering world-class brand collaborations, the firm ensures its studios deliver refined material knowledge and progressive, future-focused design solutions to clients globally.

Design is entering a different phase.
In the latest issue of the Thai-American Business Magazine, dwp. Thailand CEO Khun Sarinrath examines how agentic AI is reshaping the built environment — not as an added layer, but as a shift in how buildings perform, adapt, and respond.
The expectation of space is changing. Buildings are moving from static structures to intelligent systems, and design is no longer defined by form alone. It is defined by behaviour over time.

Sato San Recognised at IADA 2026
Sato San, the rooftop bar at Moxy Bangkok Ratchaprasong, has received an Honourable Mention in the Interior category at the International Architecture & Design Awards (IADA) 2026, the global programme recognising work across more than 50 countries.
Selected by an international jury, the recognition reflects the project’s clarity of concept and its execution as a social, experience-led destination. The design draws on atmosphere, locality, and pace to produce a rooftop that reads as both distinct and intuitive — a venue shaped as much by its position above the city as by the patterns of how people use it.
A considered outcome within a highly competitive field, and one that affirms the studio’s approach to hospitality interiors as places of encounter rather than display.

COCO Koh Lon Awarded Silver at IADA 2026
COCO Koh Lon has been named Silver Winner in the Hospitality & Hotel Interior Design category at the International Architecture & Design Awards (IADA) 2026, the global programme recognising work across architecture and design.
The project was selected from more than 500 shortlisted entries spanning 53 countries. The recognition reflects a measured approach to hospitality design, where landscape, materiality, and guest experience are weighted in equal measure to produce an environment shaped by its setting.
The result is a scheme that reads as quiet rather than declarative — an interior that defers to its island context and rewards close attention.
The award places the team’s work within a wider international field, and affirms the studio’s continuing commitment to human-centred hospitality design.

What if every building thought like a hotel?
Our latest article explores a quiet but defining shift in design. Hospitality is no longer a sector. It is a mindset shaping how workplaces, residences, and retail environments are conceived and experienced.
From anticipation to curation to emotional calibration, the expectations placed on space have fundamentally changed. Design is no longer about what a place looks like, but how it feels, performs, and responds over time. This is where design has arrived.

Every client asks for innovation. Almost none of them mean the same thing.Every client asks for innovation. Almost none of them mean the same thing.
Our latest article, The Brief Behind the Brief, looks at what sits beneath that word. Not trends or aesthetics, but intent. Performance. Narrative. Context. Three very different ambitions, often hidden behind the same language.
The work of design begins in that gap. Between what is said and what is meant. This is where clarity is found, and where the strongest projects take shape.
