Vibe
Squeezed into an ultra-narrow infill plot, the timber-and-concrete retreat uses open lightwells and a breezy rooftop to frame Old Town Bangkok.
“Narrow infill retreat”
POAR architecture converts a narrow infill plot into four lightwell-lit suites opposite historic palace gates.
Family hosts share neighborhood history and guide guests to historic Tanao Road food stalls.
A street-facing ground-floor espresso bar and an open-air fifth-floor rooftop terrace overlooking Old Town roofs.
On historic Tanao Road in Phra Nakhon, steps from the Giant Swing and San Chao Pho Suea.
Rooms
Four split-level suites are named after family members, each outfitted with deep soaking bathtubs and views of heritage shophouses or palace gates.
