WHO

‘CO Temporary’ was founded by Itirit Hatairatana and Pises Isarangul na Ayutthaya.

WHAT

We are an architectural and design studio based on social and economic approaches through spatial experience within people, context and activities.

WHEN

We’ve been collaborating on our own projects together since 2013, initially as junior architects in different offices. Then, in 2021, we made the decision to establish our own firm.

WHERE

Bangkok, Thailand

WHY

Since we graduated, we’ve never gone it alone on a project. Maybe we were young and lacked self esteem, so we’ve always been on the lookout for partners or gladly accepted invitations from our architect’s friends to collaborate on designing architectures together. Our name, CO Temporary, isn’t just a title; it reflects our belief in working together with others towards a common goal within a shared timeframe.

How would you describe your work?

The design solution emerges from conversations among all stakeholders (customers, contractor, designers, etc.), resulting in the final collaborative product.

What is your inspiration and guiding principle for each creation?

The conversation

What project are you most proud of?

‘Baan Bang-Waek’ was our very first project. We were just junior architects, giving it our all efforts, balancing the challenge of not failing with bringing our design to life.

Which stage of the design process do you like the most?

When the project was finally built after a long journey.

If you could invite a ‘creative’ to coffee, who would you invite and why?

We’re eager to invite creative people from outside the field of architecture to engage in discussions about architecture with us, to see architecture through different lenses.
