Sindhorn Village is a luxurious, mixed-use development
in central Bangkok -- a new landmark that will inspire modern, sustainable,
urban developments. Stretching over 50-Rai opposite the verdant Lumpini Park.
The master plan also features a generous green space with a low-density ratio
that will enhance its residents’ living standards. Sindhorn Village consists of
the Sindhorn Residence condominium, Baan Sindhorn serviced apartments, Kimpton Maa-Lai
hotel & restaurant, Sindhorn Kempinski hotel & residences, an art
museum and the Velaa retail plaza.
Velaa Sindhorn Village is an extension of Lumpini Park,
stretching 300 meters along Langsuan Road, weaving its lush green features into
the urban fabric. The 3-story semi-outdoor retail mall includes cafes,
restaurants, service shops and areas dedicated to community use.
The planning of the walking street enhances the flowing
landscape of the roof, as the green structure meanders over the street below.
The massive green roof over the shopping areas and pedestrian walkways is
supported by branches of treelike columns and canopies to accentuate the
experience of strolling in a park. Rays of light seeping through the roof
canopy of the five main courts, shimmer and create shadows below like the
pattern of leaves. The randomly perforated canopy not only functions in
daylight, but also illuminates the night like fireflies.
Its organic form, extending towards the Lumpini Park, can be
appreciated when approached from Langsuan Road, creating a memorable impression
for visitors through the distinctively animated walking street.
