Thep Restaurant / NYC
Inspired by the City of Angels, Bangkok (known in Thai as Krung Thep), our restaurant's name and concept are derived from this vibrant city. Our aim is to introduce the Upper East Side Manhattan neighborhood to both authentic and modern Thai cuisine.

Role: Architectural Designer
Translating the restaurant's concept into the physical space by utilizing a simple and minimalist design, with materials that provide a backdrop for the flavorful and colorful dishes. Warm and dramatic lighting is used to highlight the space, creating a unique and cozy dining experience. From initial design drawings to construction oversight, I managed every aspect of the project's development. The end result was a space that perfectly complemented the cuisine and overall concept of the restaurant.
