TOUCH Architect, founded in 2014 by architects Setthakarn Yangderm and Parpis Leelaniramol, is a design studio based in Bangkok. It evolved from a mini studio into a company with a great promise, and its founders collaborate with teams in design, construction, and management.

“TOUCH” refers to the firm's expertise and services, which covers a broad range of projects at all stages. Their work focuses on basic human needs, together with cultural sensitivity, environmental concern, and contextual experimentation, with an aesthetic of sustainability architecture. Ordinary structures and simple materials are used to form an architecture, as well as to create functional and practical dwellings.

The full scope of TOUCH design services includes all types of project phases, including clients’ dispositions, project research and concept, design development, construction drawings and permission, construction inspections, and technical supervision.
