Architecture by Vijak Numnim, Ph.D.
Before ARKIRA Development came to specialise in design-build for industrial buildings, factories, warehouses and indoor sports facilities, our founder designed across a wide range of architecture — houses, villas, resorts, hotels, condominiums and commercial work. This body of work is the design grounding and sensibility behind every project the company takes on today
A tropical resort-style holiday house, planned as a cluster of buildings around a private pool and a lush garden, with sliding glass opening the interior to the outdoors and warm solid timber throughout
A two-storey modern house — white walls set against timber battens and large glazed openings, arranged around a central court with a pool and lawn, open and at ease with its surroundings
A large two-storey modern house of rhythmically arranged boxes, combining white render, dark brown timber battens and full-height glazing with sun-shading screens
A two-storey house in an adapted Thai idiom, with stacked gable roofs in dark tile, a timber structure on concrete columns, a veranda and a front stair
A contemporary Thai villa combining a steep Thai gable roof with open glazed walls and a pool, surrounded by garden and mature trees so the interior connects seamlessly with nature
A beachfront residential condominium in Pattaya with a sleek modern presence, a landscaped entrance and a communal pool deck with a shaded pavilion

A beachfront resort and hotel in modern tropical architecture with timber detailing, stepped so every level opens to the sea, with a rooftop infinity pool and poolside pavilion as its signature
