Architectural projects in Bangkok have focused on integrating historical Thai elements with modern or Western design styles.

One project, the Reborn House, involved the renovation of a 30-year-old suburban residence. Led by architect Rungkit Chareonwat and the Design Arena + Research team, the redesign aimed to restore privacy, security, and green space that had been lost following the construction of a new public road.

Another ambitious project involved the recovery and reassembly of six traditional teak houses. Artisans from Ayutthaya disassembled these structures from various locations across Thailand and transported them to Bangkok via the Chao Phraya River. The resulting residence is described as a historical fusion, featuring the first interior bathroom in Thai house history and incorporating Western-style dining customs and luxury materials like Italian marble alongside manicured tropical gardens.
