Mr. Jeravej Hongsakul received a Bachelor of Architecture degree from King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang in 1998 and has been practicing in architectural field since 2000. His design philosophy is to merge the ‘natures’, with the architectural aesthetic by analyzing and prioritizing the different needs and requirements of each project. In which ‘natures’ is defined as ecology surroundings, urban context and also personalities of users. To express this philosophy, IDIN architects- Integrating Design Into Nature, was established in 2004.
In 2010, IDIN architects became well-known in Thai architectural field as the project, ‘Phuket Gateway’, was awarded in ASA architectural design award. Since then, many projects from this company have continually been honored with numerous prizes both national and international level: ASA Architectural design award in Thailand in 2016, ARCASIA in 2016 and 2018, American Architecture Prize in 2017, 2A Asia Architecture Award in 2017, German Design Award in 2018, A+Awards in 2016,2017 and 2019.
Practice Ideology – IDIN Architects
An acronym for Integrating Design Into Nature, IDIN Architects was founded in 2004. We perceive ‘nature’ in two ways. Firstly, nature can be defined as the ecology around us. Secondly, it can also refer to different mannerisms and personalities. The design philosophy and concentration of IDIN are to merge this sense of surrounding, the ‘natures’, to the architectural aesthetic. This merge is done through a process of analyzing and prioritizing the different needs and requirements of each project.
In addition to being an acronym, the Thai word “idin” is used to describe the natural phenomenon when soil releases a beautiful scent after rainfall. This symbolizes Thailand’s tropical climate, something all IDIN designs aim to respond to. Our emphasis is therefore placed not only on aesthetics, but also on being practical, in order to suit this temperate environment.
