The theatre is located in an old floating market and connected to wooden walkways on one side and the river on the other. The theatre occupies a small plot in a row of shophouses along the main thoroughfare in the market. The
character of the theatre was inspired by local design of shophouse and pier construction techniques. The materials
used in the theatre are also inspired by what is used in shops and houses in the market. The site is flooded during the rainy season and the theatre can be reached from the canal by boats. It becomes a meeting point and the gateway of the community.
Project cost calculated in Thai Baht according to local market cost models converted into GBP.
