Situated in Bangkok, Thailand within the serene enclave of Bang Kachao, The Nest is a riverside residential project that redefines the relationship between architecture and its natural surroundings. Designed by The Collective Studio Co., Ltd., this 4,305-square-foot residence embodies a respect for its environment while offering a playful, curvy living space.

The Nest draws inspiration from the idea of a “nest,” symbolizing a home that is both a refuge and a part of the natural world. This concept is brought to life through a design that seamlessly integrates with the lush landscape of Bang Kachao, often referred to as the “green lung” of Bangkok. Positioned near the Chao Phraya River, the futuristic residence takes full advantage of its verdant surroundings, creating a peaceful retreat that feels both intimate and expansive.
Legal constraints, including a height limit and setback requirements, guided the architectural approach. The building is centrally positioned on its riverside plot, with its form emerging organically from the ground, echoing the natural growth of a tree. This central placement not only respects the site?s natural contours but also allows for a gradual rise from the entrance to the main living areas, enhancing the feeling of being welcomed by the landscape.
