We gave Booking.com, the world’s leading digital travel company, a funky and fun new office on Samui Island. Located on Thailand’s second-largest island, we gave Booking.com's new office on Samui island a funky and fun new office. Unlike other offices in the same location, we brought the Samui spirit which is relaxation, fun, and adventure, into the project. Its design, inspired by famous landmarks on the island, truly reflects the brand identity and their people in the company. We achieved this project by doing thorough research on the brand together with their internal culture and people, to develop a clear and unique concept for the design. It took only 14 weeks for the design and construction of the office. Apart from Booking.com’s internal identities, the design is also inspired by vibrant local cultural and tourist scenes in Samui island. The usable area is divided into a workplace and a collaboration space. The workplace is an office area; while the collaboration space is shared living space including a reception hall, a town hall, a meeting room, and a pantry area. We chose easy-to-find materials in the local area like bamboo and hemp rope. The furniture was specially custom-made from a boat-shaped sofa in the reception area and bamboo dining table to beach chairs, to create the Samui vibes in the office. Together with colors, we picked the colors that reflected and represented the brand well.
