Sukhothai Province was once the first capital of Thailand and the center of a flourishing ancient kingdom. It is widely recognized for its historical
significance and remarkable architecture. This project is located in Sawankhalok District, which serves as a route to major heritage sites including
the Sukhothai Historical Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the north, and the Si Satchanalai Historical Park in the south.
The landowner originally operated a chemical-free farming business and aspired to expand it into a farm-stay combined with agricultural tourism.
The goal was to create a learning environment where visitors could explore, experiment, and participate in various farming-related activities. With this
vision, the designer and owner agreed that the project should offer distinctive and meaningful experiences to attract tourists and guests alike, aiming to
become a leading farm-stay and learning center in the area.
Given that agriculture remains the project's core business, fresh produce from the farm is used to create organic meals for visitors. A wide range of
activities is available, including rice planting workshops, gardening techniques, and natural healing practices, offering guests both learning and relaxation
opportunities in a peaceful setting.
The project's masterplan was inspired by the layout of the Sukhothai Historical Park. The design reinterprets the surrounding water features to reflect
the ancient approach to sacred and important city buildings. The central axis of the historic city gate was adapted as the main organizing axis for the site,
beginning with the entrance road and parking area, followed by a small canal separating the outer and inner zones of the project. Motorized vehicles are
not permitted within the inner area to maintain tranquility and safety.
On the right side of the site is an island designated for shops, pools, and agricultural space. The central island—developed as Phase 1—serves as
the project’s core, housing the main building that connects to the farm-stay units. This main building is situated on an island surrounded by water to offer
a panoramic view and a sense of connection with the natural environment.
The structure itself is thoughtfully divided into functional zones. It begins with the reception area, featuring a large balcony for group activities. This leads
into an enclosed courtyard designed to calm and prepare visitors emotionally and mentally. The surrounding walkway is framed by columns reminiscent
of ancient Thai architecture, lending a sense of cultural continuity. The pathway continues through a softly contoured landscape courtyard before arriving
at the final section: the Organic Farm Café and Restaurant on the ground floor, with guest rooms on the upper level.
This project, therefore, offers more than just accommodation—it provides a serene retreat and a place for meaningful engagement, connecting people with
nature, culture, and sustainable living through thoughtful design.
