Services

From the site to the drawings.

We are designers; we do not build. Our work runs from studying the site and talking through the brief to construction drawings a contractor can really build from. During construction we keep visiting to advise, so the work turns out as designed.

01

Architectural Design

Houses, pool villas, hostels and other buildings. Our team has more than ten years of experience and over 50 completed projects. We always study the site and the sun before laying out a plan.

  • Houses and pool villas
  • Hotels, hostels and commercial buildings
  • Offices and shops
  • Designed on ecological architecture principles

  • Cafes and restaurants
  • Retail shops, brand prototypes and flagship stores
  • Offices and clinics

Renovation

Making existing houses, condominiums, shops and offices more comfortable and easier to use. We survey what is there first, keep what still works, then fix what makes it hot, dark or awkward.

  • Old houses, shophouses and townhomes
  • Condominiums and apartments
  • Shops, clinics and offices
  • Fixing heat, poor daylight and still air

Design + Technology

Before anything is built, you can walk through the house in VR and 3D, and we use sun simulation to decide the plan, the openings and the shading.

  • VR and 3D presentations
  • Sunlight simulation and wind studies
  • Green-building knowledge: LEED / WELL / EDGE / TREES

Design Process

How we work

  1. 1

    Design Development

    We talk through the brief, visit the site and develop the design around how you will use it, the sun, the wind and the budget, with VR views so you can see it before you decide.

  2. 2

    Construction Drawing

    Complete construction drawings and material specifications, so contractors can price the work and build it to the design. Choose your own contractor, or ask us to recommend one.

  3. 3

    Construction Advisory

    We don’t build, but we visit the site regularly, answer the contractor’s questions and help choose materials, so the finished work matches the design.

FAQ

Questions about our services

How do I start working with MAKE IT POP?

Contact us on LINE, by phone or by email, and tell us the type of project, the location, the floor area and a rough budget. We will then meet to talk through the details and send you a proposed scope of work with our fee.

How are design fees calculated?

It depends on the type of project, its size and the scope you need: design only, for example, or design with construction drawings and advice during construction. Tell us about the project and we will propose a scope and a fee.

How do you design a house to stay cool in the hot Thai climate?

Orient the building away from the western afternoon sun, use eaves and shading panels, open the house to the prevailing wind, bring in daylight without the heat, and choose materials that hold little heat. This is the approach we use in our ecological architecture work.

Do you design renovations of old houses?

Yes: houses, shophouses, condominiums, shops and offices. You can see examples in the Renovation category of our projects.

Can I see the design before it is built?

Yes. We present our work in 3D and VR, so you can see the space close to how it will really be before you decide.

Does MAKE IT POP build?

No. We design buildings, interiors and built-in furniture. You can choose your own contractor or ask us to recommend one, and during construction we visit to advise so the work matches the drawings.
