PHANTHEP THIENGTHAMCHAROEN
I’ve had the opportunity to work on a diverse range of projects internationally. In Melbourne, Australia, I focused on town planning application packages, feasibility and concept site plans, and facade design proposals for industrial storage warehouses across Victoria. In Bangkok, Thailand, I gained experience creating design and drawing packages for educational facilities, along with contributing to commercial projects. This exposure has enhanced my adaptability, proficiency with various software tools, and ability to contribute effectively across all production stages. I am a permanent resident of Australia, holding a 189 Visa (Skilled-Independent).

YEAR: 2023-Present
GROUP TASK: Master Planning, Facade Design Discussion, RFI Responses
INDIVIDUAL TASK: Town Planning Application: Architecture Drawing Package Revisions
DESIGN TEAM: Concept Y Architecture: Eric Yu, Phanthep Thiengthamcharoen
DESIGN BRIEF
Situated at 60 Greenhills Road, the project aims to develop an industrial built form that offers flexibility, facilitating logistical connections both locally within Pakenham and internationally. Designed to support the area’s growth, the proposed development features a versatile warehouse that can function as both a factory and a storage facility. The goal is to create an estate that promotes connectivity and adaptability for future tenants.
CONCEPT
The warehouse facade design reflects the client’s identity, while ensuring global recognition that appeals to potential tenants. The design incorporates the client’s corporate colors, transitioning through gradients of gray and blue, extending from the main office into the warehouse. A vertical and horizontal composition of pre-cast concrete and metal sheeting emphasizes the monumental quality of the structure.

INDIVIDUAL TASK: Town Planning Application: Architecture Drawing Package Revisions
DESIGN TEAM: Concept Y Architecture: Eric Yu, Phanthep Thiengthamcharoen
DESIGN BRIEF
Located at 590-620 Western Port Highway, Cranbourne West, VIC 3977, Warehouses 6 and 7 were developed by combining the land plot to achieve the most efficient outcome. The design incorporates shared access, allowing trucks to easily access six sub-units. It also considers the optimal depth and durable paving required to support the entire operation for future tenants.
CONCEPT
The estate is fully committed to environmental sustainability while showcasing its iconic branding within the industrial market. By incorporating the client’s marketing color palette, accented with timber-look cladding and green walls, the design creates a harmonious balance of solid colors and natural tones, softening the industrial aesthetic of the estate.

PROJECT NAME: Axxess Corporate Park (Dexus)
TYPE: Multi Level Industrial Warehouse
LOCATION: 11-31 Gilby Road, VIC, Australia
YEAR: 2022-2023
GROUP TASK: General Discussion
INDIVIDUAL TASK: Preliminary Facade Design Exploration
DESIGN TEAM: Concept Y Architecture: Eric Yu, Phanthep Thiengthamcharoen
DESIGN BRIEF
Located at 11-31 Gilby Road, the project is a multilevel warehouse that stands as a key feature in the area. While its size and scale are notable, our design approach aims to create a facade that integrates harmoniously with its surroundings, avoiding any sense of dominance. Serving as a significant hub of storage space, the building acts as a dynamic ‘heart’ that facilitates the transfer of products across the region and provides essential services to the local community.
CONCEPT
The project aims to create a design language that integrates with the community by incorporating vertical greenery and natural materials, contrasting with the typical industrial form. It also considers varying transparency levels based on function—mezzanine office, warehouse, and parking—creating a cohesive rhythm where all elements work together.

DESIGN BRIEF
Located on Ratchadaphisek Rama 3 Road in Bangkok, Thailand, King’s College International School centers on continuity and growth. This concept is reflected in the central spinal circulation that connects all five buildings, fostering cohesion across the campus. The design also incorporates open spaces for future expansion, ensuring the school can evolve alongside its community and continue to support both academic and physical growth.
CONCEPT
At the school’s landmark, the brick theater, designed with a cantilevered structure, serves as the main entrance for parents and a gathering spot for students. It pays tribute to the geometric shape of the roof form of King’s College Musical Hall in Wimbledon, London. The architectural aesthetic blends a pre-cast concrete facade with local Thai bricks, which substitute the European bricks used in Wimbledon, creating a fusion of cultural and architectural elements.

Coburg Harmony
Coburg’s creative communities are losing their spaces for self-expression, which diminishes local engagement and leads to the closure of art businesses that once contributed to the area’s unique identity. As these spaces disappear, the vibrant cultural landscape that once defined the community fades, leaving behind a void in both artistic opportunity and social cohesion. To reverse this trend, new spaces must be created to foster skill development, collaboration, and income generation, particularly during these challenging times (Klinenberg, E., 2018). These spaces should not only offer resources for artistic production but also serve as platforms for social connection and creative exchange. Contemporary community infrastructure should be inclusive, reflecting the area’s multicultural diversity, gender identities, and varying physical abilities. By designing spaces that encourage participation across these dimensions, the proposal is to create environments that nurture creativity and personal growth. These spaces should inspire and support artistic endeavors such as artwork creation, workshops, video production, live performances, and community-driven design—allowing individuals to sustain themselves financially while giving back to their communities through their creative contributions. Ultimately, such spaces can revitalize Coburg’s cultural landscape, strengthen local identity, and foster a more resilient, connected, and creative community.

DESIGN BRIEF
The Dusit Thani Hotel, one of the most iconic landmarks in Bangkok, is being demolished as its lease ended in 2018. The objective is to propose a new design that preserves the iconic aesthetics of the building while enhancing it with modern features and a digital art facade.
ICONIC PRESERVATION
With its white and gold exterior color palette, the tower embodies a strong sense of Thai luxury, which has been cherished for nearly 50 years. The design aims to preserve the iconic triangular shape, paying homage to the history of Thai modernism, while introducing new elements. As the golden geometry has become an identity in Bangkok, it must also evolve to adapt to the contemporary world.
MANIFESTO
Hotels should allow guests to see exactly what rooms they are booking. In today’s digital age, online hotel booking is a standard service that enables guests to select their preferred accommodation. However, what guests see on booking websites are often commercial photographs, which can lead to disappointment when they experience the space in person, as these images may not accurately represent the actual rooms. Most hotels primarily sell services, rather than the actual space. The use of star ratings often focuses on luxury furniture, scenic views, and other unrelated amenities like food or recreational facilities, leaving the spatial aspects of the rooms overlooked. I believe guests should have the option to customize their room selection, ensuring a more accurate and satisfying booking experience.
DUSIT THANI CONTEXT PLAN
Night Scene
During nighttime, the facade of the Dusit Thani displays contemporary Thai art created by various Thai artists, promoting the cultures and Thai values of the art world.
LOBBY & CONTROL ROOM
The proposal for the new system of room customization will allow guests to experience the visuals of their selected room. With varied types of visualization tools, guests can interact with features and services beforehand or even make changes before their stay.
ANATOMY OF GUEST ROOMS
Additional components are integrated into the existing structure to provide flexibility, with customization done via the website. Extended frames stack on top of each other, using motors to adjust the structures, allowing for dynamic reconfiguration of the space.
PHYSICAL MODELS
The context model of the original design of the Dusit Thani Hotel and a massing study of the extruding rooms expand the space according to the guest’s request.

Different views of the mock-up model demonstrate the movement of the modules according to the service of the guest’s booking.

STUDIO/PROJECT NAME: DICKSON APARTMENT: LIVING WITH CHOICES, (EXCHANGE PROGRAM)
WORK TYPE: Individual, Group work for context model
TYPE: Residential
LOCATION: Dickson, Canberra, Australia
YEAR: 2015
INSTRUCTOR: Jane Cassidy
CONTACT: jane.cassidy@ghd.com
DESIGN BRIEF
The project focuses on Dickson, Canberra, an area known for its Asian supermarkets, takeaway food, and restaurants, but lacking a strong sense of community. The proposal aims to create a four-story apartment complex that integrates into the existing neighborhood, providing residential spaces that encourage greater interaction and connection. By offering proximity to local businesses and prioritizing communal spaces, the design seeks to revitalize the area and foster a vibrant, engaged community.
CONTEXT & FORM
A variety of experimental models are placed within a site model to explore the possibilities of pedestrian flow through the architecture. These typologies are intended to test which styles and forms best benefit the context, considering factors such as gathering spaces, sunlight, and wind, as well as how the architecture responds to its new environment. The design proposal aims to create an affordable modular apartment complex that accommodates diverse groups of residents, promoting inclusivity and fostering social interaction.

PROGRAMS
Placing cafes and restaurants on the ground floor creates an open, welcoming space for people from all districts. A playground landscape is also designed beneath the ground floor, providing a relaxing spot in Dickson. The main entry features multicultural cuisine and retail shops for both residents and visitors. Additionally, the modular pod in this area can serve as a market space and venue for local events. This project aims to strengthen and celebrate the multicultural identity of the Canberra community.
