Manatspong Sanguanwuthirojana is from Hypothesis. We are a multidisciplinary design agency. Our work includes, but not limited to, architecture, interior, furniture, product, exhibition, installation, graphics, as well as corporate branding. We aim to challenge and dilute disciplinary boundaries through active collaborations with experts from different fields. We are agile, creative, and open-minded. We do not have a fixed “style” or
an established design method. Instead, we formulate a new hypothesis for each project, and hope to discover novel methodologies and design solutions along the way.
Our stance on adaptive reuse: urban development – in the past 50 years in Bangkok, it has been a tradition of erasure: so many beautiful buildings get torn down, especially buildings of the modernist style. We value history – and believes in the values and characters of most existing spaces.
Many projects that we do start from an existing site – so we find ourselves often time like an archaeologist and a curator – inspecting the existing and try to find what to keep, and inspiration of what we should make to best fit the found context.
