In a rural landscape three hours from
Bangkok, the Si Thep archaeological site
preserves the vestiges of an ancient imperial city once influential throughout the region.
An investment group seeking to develop a
large area contiguous to the archaeological site as a destination offering a range of facilities; a wellness and alternative medicine centre, in-depth educational facilities relating to the local landscape and skies (eventually, archaeological workshops and a planetarium, for example). studioMilou developed an ambitious project in close collaboration with the client, to be realized in phases with the first involving a luxurious and small scale 40 room hotel, a restaurant and an alternative medicine centre.
