Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The postal code "10600" corresponds to the Khlong San district, a designation embraced by the Ten Six Hundred Chao Phraya River Hotel. This chosen name aptly captures the distinctive essence of this boutique hotel. Situated on Charoen Nakorn 39, the hotel boasts 31 rooms with convenient accessibility via both car and boat. Covering an expansive area of approximately 1,835 square meters, the hotel comprises two buildings: a four-story accommodation block and a two-story structure along the river.
- Inspiration
- Positioned alongside the Chao Phraya River, the hotel offers stunning views of the expansive and vibrant watercourse. The design takes cues from the historical riverfront setting of the site and the traditional residential communities in Bangkok, where homes were strategically located near rivers and canals and daily life revolved around boat travel. The architectural style of these dwellings often incorporates expansive openings, allowing residents to bask in the beauty of the golden hours when sunlight delicately caresses the water's surface, creating a shimmering spectacle with subtle reflections.
- Challenge
- One of the challenger Ito Keeping in mind the ambitions towards a sustainable design, the materials and construction methods implemented throughout the project were applied to minimise the disruption caused towards its surrounding context. Easily transported and maintained, the modular steel structure and prefabricated wooden panels were assembled on site in order to leave as little construction waste as possible, thus, maintaining harmony with its community.
- Realization and Technology
- The Softscape design not only strives to cultivate a lush atmosphere within the project's diverse spaces but also entails the meticulous selection of various plant species tailored to specific functions and areas. For instance, palm trees are thoughtfully incorporated to enhance green connectivity between different levels for the way they can grow and flourish even in relatively confined spaces. Additionally, a deliberate selection of plant varieties that thrive in areas with high groundwater levels ensures easy, long term maintenance.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in 2021 and finished in October2023 in Bangkok, Thailand
- Specifications
