Background Concept
Concept/Design Process
The Conceptual approach for the Muay Thai arena and VR experience gym is grounded in the ethos of unity, inspired by the ancient motto of Muay Thai – how individuals come together to forge strength and wisdom through collective learning. Embracing this philosophy, our design narrative weaves a tapestry of unity in physical space and mental fortitude.
Drawing inspiration from the sacred temples where Muay Thai flourished, our architectural elements evoke a sense of tradition and reverence, serving as a backdrop for practitioners to unite their minds and bodies in pursuit of strength and harmony. Through immersive storytelling and integrated VR technology, we create a transformative experience that transcends mere physical training, inviting participants on a journey of self-discovery.
Site Plan/Floor Plan(s)
The space includes two existing floor areas, two new floors, and a new mezzanine for the arena. The placement of the space is divided by activities and along with the narrative, which creates a journey throughout the entire experience.
