Idea
The small triangle-like shape of the site forced us to compress all the main functions into the wide area of the triangle and leave the narrow area of the triangle as the landscape for the outdoor events and lead the eyes of the passerby to the main functions.
The aluminium panel, which is also the main material for the condominium, is used to wrap the building to create the sculptural roof form and attract the passerby on the road. This perforated facade offers the privacy for certain area such as meeting room and also filter the natural light to create interesting shadow effect.

Full-height windows on the first floor allow the passerby to look directly to the show units and at the same time create the floating effect of the aluminium facade
Stunning eyepoint
During the rush hours, this road is famed as one of the most traffic jam in Bangkok. The team takes this as the design advantage by wrapping the the 2nd floor and the roof with the aluminum facade along the road to attract the potential buyers who pass by.
The full-height windows on the 1st floor are used to create the floating effect for the facade and also allow the potential buyers to look directly into the show units.
