Sindhorn Village is a luxurious, mixed-use development in central Bangkok -- a new landmark that inspires modern, sustainable, urban developments. Stretching over 50-rai opposite the verdant Lumpini Park. The master plan also features a Super Green, 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 Bangkok, The Residences at Sindhorn Kempinski Hotel Bangkok, and the Velaa Langsuan retail plaza.
Velaa at Sindhorn Village weaves the central Super Green’s lush green features into the urban fabric. The single-story semi-outdoor retail mall that merges with this green space includes cafes, restaurants, shops, services, and a below-ground supermarket with 3 basement floors for parking. Areas dedicated to community use, or “green courts” are interspersed throughout this complex.
The design of the retail buildings meanders 300 meters along Langsuan Road, around the established large trees, effectively creating a ribbon of shops and restaurants. This formation, along with the tall facade, makes each shop visible from the street, attracting customers. Open plan walkways allow for natural ventilation, eliminating the need for air conditioning. Derived from the "tree canopy concept," the large canopy roof over the shopping areas and pedestrian walkways is supported by randomly placed vertical columns 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, allowing natural light to the interiors. Lighting design, both warm and welcoming, illuminates the night through the skylights creating the sense of an enchanted forest.
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 Velaa Langsuan.
