Selected Projects
Department of ARCHITECTURE Co.
is a design studio based in Bangkok, Thailand; founded by Amata Luphaiboon and Twitee Vajrabhaya Teparkum in 2004. It practices architecture, interior architecture, landscape, and other related design disciplines in a broad range of programmatic requirements and scales.

The practice is interested in finding new possibilities for architecture by exploring beyond the surface and designing an underlying foundation that forms the basis for the physical spaces.
