In transforming the former eight-story apartment complex into the Ir-On Hotel, Bangkok-based design practice Hypothesis wrapped the façade with repurposed wrought iron screens often found in Thai residences.

For an industrial quality, metal accents complement charred bricks in the lobby.

Part of the second floor was removed to create a dramatic, double-height lobby.

A cloud-like scrap metal sculpture by Pin Metal Art is suspended from lobby ceiling.

Antique and secondhand items populate the lobby alongside recycled screens and bespoke metal-frame furniture.

A library overlooking the lobby embraces the industrial roots of the structure.

White walls and stone surfaces in the 22 guestrooms are offset by suspended black grills, which create unique shadows.
