Tandem Architects (2001)

What Tandem Architects (2001) does

Tandem Architects (2001) is a privately-held, Bangkok-headquartered professional architectural services firm established in 1987 and formally incorporated under its current name in 2001. The firm delivers three core practices — Architecture, Interiors, and Master Planning — across hotels, resorts, condominiums, residential developments, office buildings, retail, private residences, and mixed-use projects, primarily in Thailand with select work in Malaysia and other international markets. It has completed more than 600 projects over its operating history and has received continuous BCI Asia Top 10 Thailand Architects recognition every year since 2005. The firm is led by the Phitakraxanti family (Founder Boonsong Phitakraxanti, Managing Director Taj Phitakraxanti, Manager Quan Phitakraxanti) with technical leadership from Technical Director Prisda Assawes and Design Director Taweesak Was anawijit.

The company generates revenue through professional services fees tied to project scope, complexity, and scale; pricing is project-specific and not publicly disclosed. It acquires clients through direct enterprise relationships with leading Thai property developers (Sansiri, Land & Houses, Ananda Development, SC Asset, Pruksa, Major Development, Raimon-Land, Origin) and international hospitality operators (Kempinski, Rosewood, Accor, Marriott, Mandarin Oriental, Dusit, Compass Hospitality, Fraser Suites), as well as via co-architecture partnerships with globally recognized firms (KPF, SOM, Kerry Hill Architects, WOHA, BBGM) on flagship projects. Marketing relies on reputation, public project portfolio, and organic social channels rather than paid acquisition, with bilingual (English/Chinese) website support targeting cross-border developer demand.
