This 36-story residential tower on Sathorn Road
in the heart of Bangkok is accessible from the Bangkok Mass Transit System sky
train and elevated expressway.
The tower consists of 208 residential units: 145
units from the 15th to the 36th floor are private residences, while 63 units
from the 8th to the 14th floor are serviced apartments.
A reception hall, restaurant and business center
are located in the common area, while the recreational facilities include a tennis
court, mini basketball court, squash court, fitness center, aerobic studio,
swimming pool with a jet whirlpool, a sauna and a playground.
These common areas are visually exposed to the
exterior by a 14-meter-high glazed curtain wall. The rest of the façade is clad
with a composition of laminated glass, precast concrete, and aluminum louvers.
The design of the tower is visually divided into three zones.
The first seven floors are the first zone, with a glazed curtain wall as the front
façade and aluminum louvers enveloping the rear parking space. Second, the
residential units from the 8th floor to the 36th floor, where vertical columns
interweave with the horizontal bands of louvers and balustrades.
Finally, the overhanging roof, supported with pairs of tilted
columns, lightens the visual mass of the tower top. Together, they form a
remarkable edifice that embraces the Bangkok skyline along with Urbana
Sukhumvit 15 and Urbana Langsuan.
