ARAY Office & Workshop was conceived as a physical manifestation of the studio’s design philosophy—where creativity, craftsmanship, and construction exist under one roof. Designed as both a workplace and production facility, the project blurs the boundary between design studio and workshop, creating a seamless connection between conceptual development and hands-on fabrication.

The architecture embraces a refined industrial character, balancing functionality with warmth through a carefully curated palette of steel, concrete, timber, and glass. Open and collaborative workspaces encourage communication among designers, project managers, and craftsmen, while large glazed openings establish visual connections between the office and production areas. This transparency reinforces ARAY’s belief that thoughtful design is inseparable from the process of making.

More than a workplace, the ARAY Office serves as a reflection of the studio's values—an environment where design excellence, attention to detail, and the warmth of natural materials come together to support creativity, collaboration, and the making of meaningful spaces.

The Material Library—a dedicated space for exploration, experimentation, and collaboration. Housing a curated collection of wood, stone, metal, fabric, and finish samples, the library serves as both a design resource and a reflection of ARAY's hands-on approach to making. More than a display of materials, it functions as a working environment where ideas are tested, palettes are refined, and design decisions are brought closer to reality.

NK RESIDENCE

Ratchapruek-Sai 1, Bangkok, Thailand

2025 — 2026

NK Residence is conceived as an exploration of contemporary domestic architecture through the lens of restraint, proportion, and material integrity. The design seeks to transform everyday living into a refined spatial experience, where architecture and interiority are seamlessly intertwined to create a sense of quiet permanence. Central to the project is the interplay between volume and intimacy. A double-height foyer establishes a strong architectural presence upon arrival, drawing natural light deep into the interior and creating a visual connection between levels. This vertical openness is balanced by carefully composed living spaces that foster warmth, comfort, and human scale. Rather than relying on decorative gestures, the design derives its character from the careful orchestration of light, shadow, and material continuity.

PINKLAO RESIDENCE

Bangkok Noi, Bangkok, Thailand

2025 — In Progress

Pinklao Shophouse reimagines an aging five-and-a-half-storey shophouse as a multigenerational home—transforming a once utilitarian urban shell into a warm, vertically layered residence for a family and their extended family. Rather than resisting the inherent proportions of the shophouse typology, the design embraces its narrow footprint and stacked structure, using each level as a distinct yet interconnected domain. The ground floor is conceived as the communal heart of the house, where dining, kitchen, and service functions are organized around everyday gathering and shared rituals, while the mezzanine is inserted as a dedicated office layer overlooking the space below, establishing a quieter zone for work without losing connection to the life of the home.
