Only Human, an architectural practice founded by 2 architects.

Only Human Studio

Only Human Studio

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!

Where do you go, or what do you do when you get stuck on a project?
Getting out of the work environment we’re in, either going for a run, swimming, playing tennis, golfing or head to the gym. Doing something different helps ease your mind and make good ideas flow.

What project are you most proud of?
The design of the office of Seum Work Company Limited. It’s a renovation of an old building constructed during Bangkok’s Modernist era, we gave it a new life and more of a contemporary spirit

(For Thai, press here)

WHO
SMO Design Studio is a small design team with a large-scale dream.

WHAT
Our studio is always aware that we are not supposed to only design. Our objection is to seek for the possibilities of our clients’ properties as they yearn to start their own businesses.  The perfections are not how we want our works to be perceived. We rather dream to transform the flawed vacant spaces or buildings to the happiness and well-being site of the communities. In our perception, clients are not just business partners. Our team gives priority to them and chooses to share the consultation as a well intentioned friend.
