With the rapid expansion of Bangkok, Ratchada-Ladprao area has become one of hottest new Central Business Districts. This project was inspired by a photograph of the city at night, the glittering dots against black sky, is indisputably claimed as city civilisation. Each dot is not just a light in the building, but it represents hopes, ambitions, success, pride, emotion and lives.

The interior design and colour scheme of each facility in this development was composed in the storyline of “life diary” symbolised by a light in the city among the colour changing Bangkok sky. It has been consistently placed among the modern lines and forms of the urban environment throughout the building.

This urban home is a true-life diary of hope and success, a place behind the pride and accomplishment of the residents.

The modern lifestyle in a hectic city was interpreted in sleek and understated design with natural black and white graphical patterns of marble and accentuated with feature elements inspired from city light in both lobby and sky lounge.

The light tunnel foyer was created to evoke the sense of entering into something special in each facility, it reflects modern lifestyle of urbanisation in hectic city. Design of residential facilities are clean and simple not too fussy yet still fun and smart like the millennial residents.

The design language is accessible for everyone, not too vibrant but still smart and chic to represent unique personality.

The screen feature in the lobby under concept of “urban light” was exclusively designed only for this project. Each component and lighting piece were composed by hand and placed carefully like a sculpture.
