WHO
Only Human, an architectural practice founded by 2 architects.

WHAT
Only Human believes that good space has vibrations which could elevate humans both physically and metaphysically. These kinds of spaces come from concept-forming through observation and experimentation while cooperating with the users to understand their behaviors and needs.

WHEN
Since 2018

WHERE
In our small garden in Bangkok, Thailand

WHY
We named our studio “ONLY HUMAN” to remind ourselves of how small we are in this world. To keep in mind that there are many things that we do not know and could not predict.

How would you define creativity?
Creativity is a process of seeing existing things from different perspectives and interpreting them through our experiences. It keeps us searching for possibilities.

Describe your practice in three words?
Humble l Appropriate l Explorative

Where do you go? or what do you do when you get stuck on a project?
We surround ourselves with lots of books about design. Sometimes we drive into small alleys to get inspired by observing architecture both old and new, by architect or no architect. These elements which are out of our scope of thoughts are then reinterpreted and applied to our works.

What project are you most proud of?
The Sohelou St. Marc Catholic Chapel is one of our favorites. The project received so much love from all the people involved; the client, the builders, and the villagers. They have given in so much effort.

 

If you could invite any creative out for coffee, who would you choose and why?
We could not pick! Too many, it should be a feast!
