Vision<br />

EKAR Architects designed a 60-room hotel in the old city of U Thong<br />

to revitalize the narratives and recollections of the past, employing<br />

architectural design language to communicate a vanishing history<br />

by using orange bricks to form a composition of rectangular window<br />

frames based on the characteristics of pagoda bases in the area.<br />
