Design firm Studio Nutto has renovated a 70s house in Pattaya, Thailand, transforming it into a Japanese bar hidden within the sushi restaurant’s backyard garden. Before embarking on this project, the owner ran Ronin Restaurant, a traditional Japanese eatery, that has been open for seven years. Ronin is known for its authentic Japanese decor, featuring traditional Japanese wood material (yakisugi). Behind the restaurant, there is a 70-year-old house with a garden area that has backyard space adjacent to the restaurant’s backyard. The owner envisioned turning this old house into an interesting space for customers to continue their activities after dining. Thus, he purchased the house and renovated it into “Ronin Bar.” Uniquely, the bar’s entrance is connected to the restaurant’s backyard garden, making it accessible only through this hidden garden pathway.

House XO: Where Industrial Elegance Meets Modern Minimalism – Designed with a focus on contemporary urban living, XO exudes a unique charm, showcasing modern architecture that masterfully blends clean lines, minimalist furniture, and industrial elements to create spaces with exposed steel beams and large glass windows, blending seamlessly with its tropical surroundings. Its facade features concrete and metal, highlighted by a unique circular design. Surrounded by mature trees and lush greenery, the house offers a serene and private setting. The outdoor area includes a paved patio and a well-kept lawn, combining natural beauty with industrial design elements.

The uneven terrain and dense native vegetation of the Atlantic forest present unique challenges and opportunities for architectural design. To navigate the complexities of the site, a structural solution utilizing wooden tree pillars was selected, which not only provides stability but also creates a harmonious relationship with the surrounding environment. The existing old house on the property informed the design, with its masonry and foundations serving as the backbone of the current project.
