IDIN Architects was founded in 2004 and is an acronym for Integrating Design Into Nature. IDIN Architects perceive nature as the ecological environment, the urban context and the personality of the users. IDIN’s design philosophy and focus is to merge this sense of the environment, the natures, with architectural aesthetics. This fusion is achieved through a process of analysis and prioritisation of the different needs and requirements of each project. As well as being an acronym, the Thai word idin is used to describe the natural phenomenon of the soil releasing a beautiful scent after rain. This symbolises the tropical climate of Thailand, something that all IDIN designs aim at. The emphasis of their activity is not only on aesthetics, but also on practicality, in order to adapt to this temperate environment.

IDIN architects became known in the field of Thai architecture when the project “Phuket Gateway” was awarded the ASA Architectural Design Award in 2010. Since then, many projects of the architectural firm have continuously won numerous awards both nationally and internationally, for example ASA Architectural Design Awards in Thailand in 2016 and 2020, The Plan Award in 2020 and 2021, Architizer A+ Awards in 2016, 2017, 2019, 2020 and 2021, American Architecture Prize in 2017, Arcasia Awards for Architecture in 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2021, 2A Asia Architecture Award in 2017, Design for Asia Awards 2020 and 2021, German Design Award in 2018, GOOD Design Award 2021, and The Prix Versailles South Asia and the Pacific 2020 by UNESCO and the International Union of Architects.
