From its distinct regional vernacular to the elaborate pagodas to unique modern geometries and material experimentation, Thailand boasts an incredible architectural culture. Over the centuries, the nation’s built environment has been shaped by neighboring influences, like China and India, erecting diverse architecture that is championed and visited by many across the globe. Thailand’s rich and diverse architectural heritage is attributed to its long history of political change, religion, extreme climate and domestic sociocultural beliefs.

Architecture in Thailand is deeply connected to the environment; agriculture plays a crucial part in Thai culture and has influenced how dwellings have been built for centuries. One of the most common features is the use of stilts. This common practice of elevating the domestic space holds multifunctional purposes — it provides a shaded outdoor space, is used for storage and protects from flooding during the severe rainy season.

Its warm climate and rich topography have paved the way for a booming tourist industry which has sparked an onslaught of hospitality architecture, including resorts, restaurants and other entertainment venues. And the 20th and 21st-century have brought an entirely new architectural vocabulary to the nation. Just look at the nation’s capital city of Bangkok, which has undergone a significant transformation in the past decades, producing many award-winning contemporary designs.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Thailand based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

• The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2023)

29. makeAscene

© makeAscene

We believe that designing an architecture is more or less like creating a ‘scene’ with people in there. It is more or less defining the human-space relationship. So it’s really important to understand the user’s need and build the architecture around them while also aesthetically pleasing at the same time.

The real challenge is not just having a good-looking piece of work as a result. But to also addressing the user’s need beautifully too. Balancing between the two is an art in itself and we find this is essence of architectural design.

Some of makeAscene’s most prominent projects include:

• TATE Thonglor, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, Thailand
• Casa Pattaya, Pattaya City, Thailand
• FYNN 31, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, Thailand
