A short boat ride from Phuket, Coconut Island offers a peaceful antidote to the island’s bustling crowds. It is in this spirit that Phuket-based Studio Locomotive has transformed a former vacation house into Laku Beach Club, an all-day beachside restaurant and bar whose design balances tropical exuberance with Mediterranean soulfulness. Working within the confines of the existing two-storey building, Studio Locomotive’s key challenge was to convert an intimate domestic structure into a dynamic hospitality destination without erasing its original framework. The result is a fluid sequence of spaces defined by shifts in level, seating typologies and framed views. Sightlines are carefully orchestrated towards the beach, pool, bar and DJ booth, allowing each zone to feel distinct while remaining visually connected to the landscape and to the convivial pulse of the club.
