Commercial space is more than a building. It's a strategic business asset that shapes customer experience, reinforces brand identity, and drives competitive advantage.
As strategic design partners, we help businesses translate brand positioning into physical environments where every material, spatial decision, and detail advances business objectives. Our work bridges strategy and built reality, transforming brand promise into spatial experience.
Architecture, interior design, and strategic thinking, integrated from the first conversation through post-occupancy. Our clients include brands investing in retail environments that perform, hospitality groups scaling identity across locations, corporate leaders leveraging workplace as talent strategy, and retailers translating digital agility into physical experiences.
FAQ.
Common questions about working with us. If you don't see your question here,
we're happy to discuss your specific project needs.
Q: 01.
What services do you offer?
A: We offer end-to-end design and build services, including brand translation, interior architecture, technical documentation, site construction, FF&E, and styling. We also coordinate all necessary engineering design (structural, sanitary, MEP) as required.
Q: 02.
What makes you different from other commercial design firms?
A: We start with your business strategy, not just aesthetics. Every design decision connects to your brand positioning, customer behavior, and competitive advantage. Our in-house construction team ensures what we design gets built exactly as planned, eliminating the gap between vision and reality.
Q: 03.
How do you price a project?
A: Our pricing is transparent and separated into two parts: 1) Design fee, typically quoted per square meter (approx. 2,000-3,000 THB/sq.m.) depending on scope and complexity. 2) Construction cost, presented as a separate detailed BOQ (Bill of Quantities) for your approval.
Q: 04.
What information do you need to start an estimate?
A: Please provide floor plan or site area, site photos, brand/material references, target move-in date, and approximate budget. This allows us to give you an initial estimate before developing a detailed proposal.
Q: 05.
How long does a typical project take?
A: Timeline varies based on project complexity, space size, site conditions, and building type. We develop a detailed schedule after understanding your requirements and confirming scope. Factors like permits, material lead times, and construction phasing all impact the timeline.
Q: 06.
Can you work with existing brand guidelines?
A: Yes. We translate existing brand guidelines into physical spaces, adapting materials, colors, and design elements to work in your local context. If your guidelines don't cover retail or physical spaces, we can develop spatial brand standards that maintain consistency across future locations.
Q: 07.
Do you handle permits and approvals?
A: Yes. We manage permits for both rental spaces (mall approvals, building management) and new construction or building modifications (local authority permits). We coordinate all necessary drawings, submissions, and certifications required.
Q: 08.
Will we need to close during construction?
A: It depends on your specific space and scope of work. Where possible, we can phase construction, work during off-hours, and control dust/noise to maintain operations. We recommend discussing and planning this early to find the best approach for your situation.
Q: 09.
Do you work on new builds and renovations?
A: Yes, both. Working with new construction versus existing spaces requires different approaches. New builds offer more design freedom but longer timelines. Renovations involve working within existing building systems and design constraints, requiring careful planning to minimize disruption.
Q: 10.
Can you work outside Bangkok?
A: Yes. For projects in Bangkok and surrounding areas, we provide full design and construction services. For locations outside this area, we offer design services and can coordinate with local contractors while maintaining our quality standards.
Q: 11.
What about sustainability and ESG?
A: We integrate sustainability and ESG principles to benefit your brand and bottom line. This includes energy-efficient systems to reduce costs, low-VOC and FSC-certified materials for better air quality, and design that enhances staff and customer well-being. We can align with WELL or LEED standards if required.
Q: 12.
Can you handle multi-location rollouts?
A: Yes. We create design systems and documentation that enable efficient replication across locations while allowing local adaptation. This includes standardized specifications, material guidelines, and quality control protocols to maintain brand consistency.
Q: 13.
What happens after opening?
A: We provide post-occupancy support including addressing any adjustments needed. We also gather feedback on how the space performs to inform improvements for future locations. This continuous learning helps refine your brand's spatial standards over time.
Q: 14.
How do we get started?
A: Contact us via Line, WhatsApp, or Email with your initial brief. Our lead designer will call you to discuss requirements, arrange a site visit, and develop a tailored proposal for your review.
