2025 ASIA’S BEST CONCEPTUAL ARCHITECTURE DESIGN (concept, in-progress projects)

Company: HUIDROM DESIGN STUDIO

Project name: Siang Adventure & Eco-Retreat

Location: Pasighat, Arunachal Pradesh

Designer/ Architect: Huidrom Design Studio

Manufacturer: Huidrom Design Studio

Stakeholder/ Owner: Ministry of Tourism, Government of Arunachal Pradesh

In the highlands of Arunachal Pradesh, where the Siang River whispers ancestral stories, the Siang Adventure & Eco-Retreat emerges as a poetic vision for future travel - celebrating culture, nature, and community in harmony. More than a hospitality project, it is a tribute to the river that has long sustained the Adi people, honoring its legacy through architecture that breathes with the land. Designed by Huidrom Design Studio, the retreat redefines tourism through a lens of local identity and sustainable progress.

What makes this project exceptional is its sensitivity to place. Rather than importing styles or materials, it draws from the forest itself—driftwood shaped by the river, adobe walls from native earth, and clay roofs handmade with local mud. Prefabricated huts, passive energy systems, and eco-smart technologies reflect a quiet innovation that respects, rather than overrides, nature.

Siang Adventure & Eco-Retreat proposes a future where architecture grows from its surroundings rather than being imposed on them. Its visionary fusion of vernacular wisdom and sustainable design is not only functional and beautiful - it’s ethical.

The Princess, The Silk Village, and The Hotel That Refused to Shout: Inside Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa

Named 2026 Asia’s Best Hospitality Architecture Design at the Asia Architecture Design Awards, the Dusit Le Palais Tu Hoa Hotel makes a contrarian case: in Asia’s fastest-growing tourism market, the most valuable architecture is the kind that defers to its place - and is built to last decades, not news cycles.
