Nadthachai Kongkhajornkidsuk is a designer who grew up in Bangkok, Thailand. He graduated from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, with a Bachelor of Architecture, and is currently working for The Cohousing Company, in Nevada City, California.

His interest in architecture, especially in community design, is long-standing and truly flourishes when he began pursuing his senior design thesis, which focused on housing as an everyday space and its social ability to create collectivity within a community. He truly believes that consciously designed housing not only can provide shelter for its dweller, but also can foster growth in their connections with others and community as a whole. His design work, especially in housing solutions, has won several awards from AIA Los Angeles Chapter and Buildner Design Competitions. He also co-authored Charles Durrett’s most recent book Cohousing Communities: Designing for High-Functioning Neighborhoods.
