Thewanat Saiphan is one of the earliest core members of NPPN Design and Research, having contributed to the studio’s direction for over five years. He graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture from the Faculty of Industrial Education and Technology, King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang.
Ro specializes in designing architecture that embraces water and flooding as integral components of spatial thinking, translating hydrological risk into creative opportunity. His design process embodies the firm’s philosophy of multi-scalar resilience, fluid typologies, and adaptation by design. He works fluidly between conceptual development, 3D visualization, and integrated environmental design.
At NPPN, Ro has played a central role in landmark projects such as Ramintra Sports Park, Huai Khwang Amphibious Corridor, and community-based adaptation prototypes. His ability to envision how water moves through space, urban, landscape, and building scale, makes him instrumental in shaping the firm’s amphibious architectural identity.
Ro’s design aesthetic balances practicality with sensitivity. His renderings and spatial compositions not only communicate form and function but also evoke the emotional, cultural, and ecological narratives embedded in every resilient space.
