About

Chanasit Cholasuek is Co-Founder of stu/D/O Architects, located in Bangkok, Thailand.

stu/D/O focus on architecture, urbanism, and sustainable design. Created in 2010, the studio-s approach is to consider the layers of physical and cultural distinctness at each site to invent new possibilities for the buildings’ function, context, and space, while integrating passive sustainable design in every process.
