HQ Hostel - Bangkok

"HQ Hostel offers a new boutique accommodation. The architects set out to create a unique experience for travellers, within the context of a commercial building that maintains the harmony of the street façade. Great attention was paid to the planning of space and circulation, the building’s drilled aluminium composite façade creating privacy during the day and moving beams of light at night.

Rather than try to deny or disguise the fact that hostel design must consider space efficiency, HQ celebrates this as a positive aspect, with the internal planning and colour palette inspired by the traditional Japanese Ryokan.

The interior finishes are simple and feature robust materials honestly exposed, such as cement, brick and steel, which are combined with thoughtful details such as quality cotton bed sheets and pillows, to create a more valuable experience for the discerning traveller on a budget."
