Nomads Nest
Location: Koh Phangan, Thailand
Area: 1,600 sqm site | 8 villas at 50 sqm each | communal space
Project Year: 2025
Project description:
1. Project brief from client:
Client purchased a 1,600 sqm triangular site in Koh Phangan’s jungle
Wanted 9 small villas (~50 sqm each) plus a shared community hub
Communal program included yoga, remote work, coffee/social space
Project vision: a “live + work” hub for digital nomads
Key site constraints: preserve existing trees, maintain functional entry circulation to both villas and communal areas
2. Project design concept:
Explored four distinct site layouts: perimeter, linear rows, triangular cluster, hybrid
Considered pros/cons of circulation, communal access, and building adjacencies
Environmental research showed prevailing SW–W winds; oriented villas for passive cross-ventilation and reduced cooling loads
Balanced privacy vs. community: private retreats in bungalows paired with shared social hubs
Architectural character: blend of modern, Thai style, and natural jungle materials
Client’s brand emphasized “nomadic jungle immersion” — villas to feel embedded in lush greenery, not beach-resort style
3. Project design solution:
Final layout: 8 studio bungalows along site perimeter, communal hub in center
Villas located on west and south edges; communal zone anchored on east side
Communal space programmed with:
Firepit gathering area
Yoga canopy zone
Outdoor co-working space under lattice canopy
Daybed lounges and social seating
Villas designed with:
Outdoor kitchen + dining/lounge porch
Indoor studio with bed + work desk
Partial outdoor shower with 2m privacy wall and jungle planting
Integrated storage solutions
Landscaping used tall vegetation for privacy buffers between villas and communal spaces
Style achieved: modern Thai-jungle blend, contextual to site
4. Unique project characteristics:
Among the first live + work hubs for digital nomads on a Thai island
Most co-working models (e.g., WeWork) exist only in big cities — no comparable offering in small island contexts
Addressed nomad lifestyle needs: not just a room rental, but amenities fostering both productivity and community
Project tapped into digital nomads’ desire for social networks to combat isolation while offering private retreat space
Set a precedent for future remote-work developments in Thailand’s islands
