design qua is a Bangkok-based architecture and design firm that takes an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to design.
In our projects the architecture, interior space and landscape are considered fluid parts of an interconnected whole. This holistic approach allows inside and outside spaces to relate in balanced and meaningful ways.
We believe in the power of design to shape our built environment, and in its role to conserve nature and culture for future generations. We believe it is our responsibility to do our part in ensuring the built-world is healthy and sustainable.
We believe that good architecture is rooted in place – climatically and culturally. Our project sites vary greatly but most are situated in the hot tropical zones of South East Asia. We have cultivated expertise in keeping our buildings cool through passive cooling strategies and smart site utilization.
We embrace nature and local materials whenever possible, and we understand that all buildings and homes have a lifespan. We employ refined design strategies that are sensitive to the inherent beauty of materials and allow them to age gracefully and patina with time.
