TMB Academy is the newly created section of TMB Bank, a Thai bank located in Bangkok. The project is intended to inspire creative thinking within working environment and offering a daily variety of work experiences. The academy is not planned as traditional enclosed training center at all times. Instead a large portion of space is designed to encourage multiple activities in the setting of ‘adjustable’ space.
Nontawat Charoenchasri founded DUCTSTORE the design guru Co., Ltd. in 2001 at the age of 27, with a vision that everything the studio creates — from architecture and graphic design to installations — is a designed “product.” Embracing a multidisciplinary approach, he set out to break away from conventional design. To distinguish architectural work from communication design, he launched a second studio, THE OTHERS Co., Ltd., in 2016. He later introduced IAMEVERYTHING, a high-end print magazine sent free to top Thai creatives — a bold move in an increasingly digital world. Drawing on his experience as creative director of Wallpaper Magazine (Thai edition), Nontawat now leads a team that delivers bold, integrated work across 2D, 3D, and hybrid platforms.
