Design Concept

Through the lens of prospect-refuge theory, security and openness are harmonized shaping an embassy that embodies both sanctuary and engagement. The design offers a sense of protection while balancing tradition and diplomacy in a place that echoes the Philippines with its ties to Thailand.

By integrating elements of Filipino vernacular architecture such as elevated spaces, wide overhangs, and natural ventilation, the design creates an environment that feels familiar to Filipinos while being adaptive to the tropical climate of Thailand.
