The Couch
the wooden deck, while all the windows were cleaned and repainted. Each of them was
meticulously laid out and used for the building’s front screen. The window façade protects
the inhabitants from street noise, direct sunlight, and also creates a certain degree of
privacy.
Famous for its vibrant atmosphere, INDEO introduced every-day Bangkok street elements
for the interior design, such as the traffic light, traffic cone and the wood palettes. It is
meant to blur the boundary between the indoor and outdoor experience. To give a sense of
Thai culture, colourful traditional sarongs are used for the roof fabric and other furniture
upholstery.
ROJECT TEAM
The design of this hostel does not only offer a budget overnight stay, but also the need
to represent Bangkok’s chaotic, yet vibrant atmosphere. The heterogeneous built
environment is enhanced throughout the hostel space from the main entrance through to
the roof terrace. AD
