TROP is a landscape architectural design studio with a team of designers and construction supervisors. Led by Pok Kobkongsanti, our philosophy is to create unique designs for each project that we work on. We believe that our design process is as important as the design itself, so we work very closely with each of our clients. […]
Read MoreThe jury recognizes the Yanlord atrium for its poetic sculptural qualities, offering a playful answer to a dilemma of sufficient conditions for social interaction and space for vegetation and water in a limited space. White semi-transparent platforms ascend from a lush planting like mist, where one can imagine floating above the garden or experience a sense of lightness. The abstract cloud-staircase also offers a social platform, connecting three floors and inviting neighbours to meet »in the air«.
Read MoreNana operates as an intricate fusion of architecture and landscape, dissolving the conventional thresholds between interior and exterior. The jury recognized in this commercial garden a unique and immersive spatial condition—simultaneously dazzling and disorienting—where porosity becomes both formal strategy and conceptual proposition. Through a disciplined yet playful language of white planes, transparent enclosures, and reflective surfaces, the architecture orchestrates a complex interplay of enclosure and exposure. Vegetation threads through and around these spatial fragments, establishing a continuous exchange between built form and lush planting. The boundaries dissolve into a sequence of micro-environments, where orientation is intentionally destabilized and perception oscillates between intimacy and openness.

Read MoreThis project reimagines urban living by rebuilding the relationship between people and nature. Through an extreme vertical greening strategy, we seamlessly integrate the residential entrance, commercial frontage, and inner garden spaces, creating a multi-layered, livable “green valley” within a compact urban site.

Read MoreSituated atop a mixed-use tower on Shenyang, this rooftop renovation transforms a neglected mechanical platform into two distinctive sky gardens for adjacent penthouse show units. The original site was dominated by exposed ducts, shallow concrete beams, and limited structural capacity—seemingly inhospitable to greenery or design. Yet within these constraints, the project reimagines the rooftop as […]
Read MoreThis project has been positioned, upon entrustment, to create a public commercial district that is different from the traditional fully-enclosed community. As planned, the commercial district will connect the Jiangpu Park in the south and the riverside greenbelt in the east to create an urban valley with infinite possibilities for residents here and nearby to […]
Read MoreShaoxing is located in the south of the Yangtze River, known as Jiangnan, where one can get lost in the crossing alleys, bridges, canal network, and idyllic scenes appreciating its simplicity and leisure. The character of the ancient house roof and water network endorses the main idea very much. The design team had got inspired […]
Read MoreArchitects and developers are used to categorising their projects into one type; the type that only serves the clients’ goals and their programs, either being “public” or “private”. The client and the design team of the Grand Milestone Art Centre , however, defied this redundant habit and reimagined a private development beyond its boundary. The […]
Read MoreAs the only connection, between the pedestrian and the sales office, the landscape design of Jing’an Century catalyzes an experience of wandering in nature.

The landscape area is only […]

Read MoreIn the Northern part of Thailand, one encounters the Chiang Rai Residence. A project with an obscure form of landscape, merging both natural settings and buildings into a space that holds its own independent ownership, while at the same time blending in well with the context of the lives of those that dwell there. The […]
Read MoreProject Statement With its prime location in the dense urban core, surrounded by several of the busiest streets of Bangkok, Ashton Chula-Silom sees an imminent challenge of providing its inhabitants with a truly livable environment. As vertical living continues to pierce into the sky, the city becomes more fragmented, and its dwellers lose their connection […]
Read MoreNarrating Topography Designing with nature is to observe the tension between design freedom and the laws of nature itself. This means that design creativity is not solely spontaneous and intuitive. It must pertain to both principles and procedures. T.R.O.P’s design direction for the Times Garden began with its own precepts. Its goal was set on […]
Read MoreProject Statement ‘Integrated Courtyards House’ is a home of a landscape architect, his wife and their young son. Because the owner is a landscape architect, his brief to the architect was that he needed ‘a house with a series of courtyards. The architecture was created within basic design principles to deal with Thailand’s extreme climate. […]

Located in a small dead end alley, the site basically has no view to look at.

Read MoreProject Statement Inspired by the nearby mountain range, Khao Yai, Thailand’s largest rain forest, the landscape is created as the link between the architecture and Nature.
