Practice Ideology
OPENBOX Architects (OPNBX) has been founded in 2004 by NUI Ratiwat Suwannatrai and PRANG Wannaporn Suwanntrai, architect and landscape architect. The design studio has been formed, based on the core belief that architecture and landscape should be designed and perceived as one. For the past 16 years, OPENBOX has been involved in numerous projects of various types, that illustrate the importance of unified concept, boldness and harmony between architectures and their surroundings.
