Twitee Vajrabhaya Teparjum and Amata Luphaiboon may have envisaged Department of Architecture Co. as a small, boutique concern, but they are now the principals of a globally renowned practice<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When Twitee Vajrabhaya Teparkum and Amata Luphaiboon founded their design firm Department of Architecture Co. in 2004, neither aspired to create a multinational juggernaut in the model of Zaha Hadid Architects.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both brought with them a formidable eye for aesthetics, a deeply intuitive knowledge of structural design, as well as\u00a0Master\u2019s\u00a0degrees\u00a0from Princeton University and Harvard University, respectively.\u00a0While\u00a0creating something of enormous\u00a0scale\u00a0was within\u00a0the\u00a0purview of\u00a0their combined credentials and talents,\u00a0both opted\u00a0to focus on producing the best work possible.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe set off to be a small studio of maybe 10,\u201d Twitee recalls. \u201cWe had worked together on a few projects before and we felt our collaboration was a perfect match in terms of our design philosophy and\u00a0work ethic.\u00a0So,\u00a0we decided to set up our own office.\u201d\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bringing\u00a0them together was a mutual appreciation of attention to detail and an underlying commitment to examine\u00a0the limits of design ideas.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to explore possibilities of architecture that go beyond what we have seen before,\u201d Twitee relates.\u00a0The following decade and a half\u00a0would see\u00a0them do exactly that,\u00a0their studio\u00a0gradually swelling\u00a0in size to 30 employees\u2014still modest in scale for their field, but hardly an underdog.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It all evolved naturally. We started small, steadily gained trust from a wider audience, which led to opportunities to work on larger, more significant projects<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Having created high-profile hospitality and residential projects throughout Thailand and Asia, and accumulated a pile of accolades,\u00a0Department of Architecture Co. has earned\u00a0considerable respect for\u00a0unique designs in creative, multipurpose spaces like\u00a0the prestigious Thailand Creative and Design Center\u00a0in Bangkok.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt all evolved naturally. We started small,\u00a0steadily\u00a0gained trust from a wider audience, which led to opportunities to work on larger,\u00a0more significant projects,\u201d says Twitee. And while many design firms\u00a0tend to\u00a0lose their edge with time and growth,\u00a0theirs managed to maintain that elusive nimble quality over the years. Rather than slip into a rut and churn out endless reiterations of past ideas, Twitee and Amata have a reputation within the industry for continuously innovating. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result of this approach, it can be challenging to find an ideological link between the firm\u2019s many projects, or even concretely identify their signature style. It would be fair to say that the firm has an acute awareness of geometry and natural light. The visually arresting ceiling of the lobby and Drift bar at the Hilton Pattaya is a mass of undulating curves, while the facade of the MIST Hot Spring Resort in Xuchang, China captures solar rays in tinted rectangular glass panels. Both projects command admiration but could not be more distinct from one another.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A dedication to uphold h<\/span>igh environmental standards is also\u00a0<\/span>a trademark.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Department of Architecture Co.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>is known to\u00a0<\/span>collaborate<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>with LEED consultants\u00a0<\/span>to reduce waste and energy consumption through reuse of materials, green roofs, and incorporating sun-shading into architectural elements <\/span>to naturally lower the internal temperature.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By incorporating these subtle adjustments, the firm has been able to reduce the carbon footprint of a number of buildings over the years. \u201cSustainability has always been part of our thought process and a serious concern,\u201d Twitee says. \u201cFor example, you can see that in many of our projects we tried to minimise the amount of air-conditioned space by making use of open-air, natural ventilation which is suitable to our tropical climate and can reduce energy consumption drastically.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eco-friendly sensibilities aside, their combined portfolio resolutely defies sweeping categorisations, a fact that Twitee insists is <\/span>intentional. They have never sought to develop a design signature, nor\u00a0<\/span>have<\/span>\u00a0plan<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0to do so.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More: Vietnam’s most vibrant architecture practices<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA design signature can be recognised when we start to see certain recurrent motifs appearing in different projects,\u201d Twitee says. \u201cWe intend not to have a signature as we would like to stay open for new possibilities and not to be bound up with our own past.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather than rely on specific repeated tropes to promote their own brand, the team prefers to treat each new venture as a fresh challenge. Each project begins with a rigorous analysis of the site, intent,\u00a0and specifications, which then dictate the final form of the design.\u00a0\u201cWhat has been consistent throughout our practice is not certain design elements, but the spirit of exploration,\u201d Twitee says. \u201cThrough this process of analysis, we start to see a certain aspect that we think is the most important or something that triggers our interest. New ideas eventually begin to emerge from that point.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These ideas continue to emerge in new and intriguing ways, helping to make Departure of Architecture Co. one of Thailand\u2019s most interesting design firms. Although they are already well-established in the business, there can be no doubt they\u00a0will continue to evolve and rise.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thailand Creative and Design Center (TCDC)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TCDC has long been a bastion of open intellectual and creative exchange in Bangkok, which is reflected in its bold new redesign. \u201cWe thought that the place should not be merely a pretty place, but a space where people can connect, discuss, and work together. It is a place where people can see and be seen while pursuing the activities that inspire one another,\u201d Twitee says. All this helps foster the kind of artistic collaboration at the core of TCDC\u2019s stated mission. \u201cThe translucent architectural system wrapping around and inserting throughout the facility is holding the essence of what TCDC provides\u2014inspiration and knowledge.\u201d<\/p>\n

MIST Hot Spring Resort<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The soothing waters of Henan province\u2019s mineral-rich hot springs have drawn travellers to this bucolic area since the Tang Dynasty. In order to accentuate the already striking natural scenery, the firm combined the mist rising from the geothermal pools with a touch of manmade fog for heightened theatricality. In order to enhance the spare, monochromatic surrounding landscape in winter, they turned to colourised black-and-white photographs for inspiration. The result is a dreamy design that incorporates a surreal spectrum of hues into the very structural DNA of the building. These exquisitely integrated panes of stained glass create a distinctive three-dimensional visual space that subtly references the panels of bamboo scaffolding. It\u2019s a design that brilliantly marries the history and present of China.<\/p>\n

The Flow<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In order to create a multipurpose pavilion in Chonburi, Thailand, Twitee and Amata designed a plate floor that could be folded up like origami to accommodate different functions. Instead of a solid, continuous roof, the firm installed a canopy of leaflets that allows sunlight to trickle through whilst shielding visitors from the crushing heat. The result is an airy space that offers sweeping views of the ocean and serves as a blank canvas for performers, artists, and creatives of various stripes. Unlike a traditional concert hall or yoga studio or its other functional iterations, The Flow\u2019s open interior stays pleasant, courtesy of the sea breeze.<\/p>\n

The Commons<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bangkok has no shortage of shopping centres, but this trendy retail and dining space always aspired to be something different. In lieu of international chain eateries, The Commons features a carefully curated mix of outlets by prominent local chefs and restaurateurs. Twitee and Amata created a contemporary industrial space filled with foliage and flooded with sunlight. It\u2019s a subtle subversion of the city\u2019s more common architectural tropes, and something of an oasis in the sweltering metropolis. The horizontally and vertically integrated design encourages natural ventilation, allowing cooling air to rush through the space and creating a reprieve from the surrounding urban jungle.<\/p>\n

Hilton Pattaya<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When guests first enter the lobby of this seaside resort in Chonburi, Thailand, they inevitably cast their gaze upwards to the undulating fabric installation on the ceiling. The pattern gently suggests movement and echoes the waves of the nearby ocean. It also organically draws the eye out towards the beach and helps to connect the resort with its greater environment. To help create a sense of openness, the firm made sure to augment the ample natural sunlight with discreetly placed internal lighting fixtures. A palette of tasteful neutrals calls to mind a sandy shore and helps the spacious room feel even larger.<\/p>\n

Sala Phuket Restaurant<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While older luxury resorts often feel like gilded gated communities, the design of Sala Phuket\u2019s signature eatery is devoid of hard boundary lines. The structural columns rest at unconventional spots, creating a sense of spatial ambiguity and melding the interior with the surrounding environment. The firm was careful to avoid the constraints of a more traditional grid system, creating the illusion of borderlessness. As a result, guests enjoy views of the shoreline and an undeniably romantic atmosphere. Though the restaurant is atmospheric at any time of day, the design truly shines at sunset.<\/p>\n
