The Architect
An architect who understands tropical design from the inside.
"Phuket has its own grammar — its hillsides, its Andaman winds, its building authority, its rhythm. A villa designed without reading that grammar carefully will struggle, no matter how striking the renderings look."
Nay Sirirat Tipwong is a licensed Thai architect with fifteen years of experience designing tropical villas and commercial properties across Thailand's southern islands. Her practice is based on the principle that good architecture in starts with the land, the climate, and an honest reading of what the build will actually require.
She works in both English and Thai, with an international clientele that values clear communication, transparent process, and a single point of contact from first conversation to final key handover.

What we offer
Full service from concept to keys
Every service exists to guide you to a finished property that exceeds your vision — built safely, on budget, by people you can trust. The risks of building in Thailand are real. The protection comes from process.
01
Land Assessment
We walk the land with you, assess the terrain, and confirm what can be built, including legal limits and site constraints. You understand the opportunities and restrictions from the outset.
02
Concept Design
Your brief transformed into a clear architectural vision, with plans, elevations, sections, and simple 3D visuals that show how your home will look, feel, and sit within its setting.
03
Construction Drawings
A complete set of 2D construction drawings and technical information, defining every element of the build with clarity and precision. This is what ensures the design is executed properly on site.
04
Permits & Approvals
All permits and approvals are managed on your behalf, ensuring everything is properly submitted and approved. This keeps the project clear, compliant, and moving forward.
05
Costing and Builder Selection
A fully measured Bill of Quantities translates the design into a clear cost structure. Builders price against it, giving you transparent comparisons and control before construction begins.
06
Site Supervision
Your project monitored on site with quality control, milestone sign offs, and builder management throughout construction. Keeping everything aligned with the design.

Building in Phuket
The island has its own rules.
Phuket is not Samui with a different beach. Different soils, different microclimates, different municipal authorities, different cost ranges, different planning constraints. The difference between a project that finishes on budget and one that doesn't is usually a question of how well that landscape was read at the start.
Hillside
building
Phuket's terrain demands serious geotechnical work and water management. Most overruns trace back to underestimating this.
Andaman
exposure
Salt, sun, and monsoon rain on the west coast are harsher on materials than the Gulf side. Specification matters.
Subdistrict
character
Patong, Kamala, Surin, Bang Tao, Rawai, Kata and Karon each have their own building patterns and price points.
Ownership
structures
After the 2025–2026 nominee crackdown, every villa project needs a legally sound ownership plan from day one.
Local trade
access
The builder, electrician, and pool specialist you can actually rely on are not usually the ones who advertise loudest.
