Reimagining vertical living: A landed-house experience in the heart of Bangkok
Program: Residential High-rise
Client: Raimon Land Public Company Limited
Size: 29,805 Sq.m.
Scope: Architectural and Interior Design
This upscale condominium, situated in the vibrant heart of Bangkok, was conceived with a humble yet profound question: How can we recreate the feeling of a landed house within a high-rise residence?
At the core of this design is the desire to evoke the familiar comfort of transitional spaces—such as sheltered terraces and patios—that blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. These semi-open areas, common in traditional landed homes, serve as gentle buffers between private interiors and the outside world.
To achieve this, the typical narrow, elongated condominium balcony was reimagined. Each unit now features a wider but shorter balcony—strategically placed adjacent to the living and dining areas, and set deeper into the building facade. This shaded terrace becomes a true extension of the living space, creating a sense of openness and multi-functionality. It offers residents a year-round space for relaxation, light exercise, urban gardening, or even a children's play area—right within their unit.
On a broader scale, the entire building was designed with natural comfort in mind. Unlike most high-rise residences in Thailand, this project emphasizes natural ventilation and lighting throughout. Balconies are not just extensions of private units—they also act as airflow channels that connect to the building’s lift lobbies. Four vertical air shafts span the height of the tower, allowing cross-ventilation and reducing reliance on mechanical systems.
Altogether, the building represents a thoughtful, nature-oriented approach to urban living—where verticality does not compromise the essence of a grounded, spacious home.
