Studioort

What Studioort does

Studioort is a boutique RIBA-chartered architecture, design, and urbanism practice founded in 2017 by Artison Wangpraseurt, a German-Thai architect and urban designer. The firm operates two studios — Unit Z, 23 Alphabet Mews, London SW9 0FN, as its UK base, and a studio in Bangkok's Sukhumvit area — and serves private residential clients, hospitality operators, arts institutions (e.g., Marian Goodman Gallery), government entities (the German Embassy in Bangkok), and developers across the UK, Thailand, and select international markets including China, Germany, and the Bahamas.

The practice's core capability is sustainable, low-carbon design: it is a signatory of UK Architects Declare, a member of the International Passive House Association, and has adopted the RIBA 2030 Climate Challenge targets for operational energy and embodied carbon. Technical differentiators include timber structures, super-insulated wood-fibre panels, upcycled materials, biophilic interior design, Passive House standards, passive cooling, and heritage building conversions (notably the Grade II listed warehouse for the Marian Goodman Gallery in Soho). Service lines span residential extensions and reconfigurations, hospitality interiors (bars, restaurants, hotels, resorts), commercial workplaces (serviced offices in Bangkok), and urban design masterplans (Shengsi Islands in China; Backnang West IBA 27 in Germany).

Studioort generates revenue exclusively through project-based professional-services fees negotiated on a per-project basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market model is enterprise field sales driven by founder-led relationships, professional-network referrals, earned media (features in Dezeen, Wallpaper, Grand Designs Magazine, Evening Standard, Architects Journal, Dwell), industry awards (NLA Don't Move Improve 2021; London Festival of Architecture City Benchmarks winner 2018), and listings such as The Modern House design directory. The firm has no institutional investment, no disclosed funding rounds, and is entirely founder-owned.
