Beyond the Jatumharachiga Heaven, a realm called the Tavatimsa Heaven can be found. It is the highest of the heavenly realms and is said to cover an area equal to 40,000 km2 surrounded by a continuous glass wall that stretches 64 km into the sky. This realm consists of 1,000 doors, each leading to a splendid castle situated on the mountain top. As the door slides apart, an exquisite melody resounds throughout. A pool of crystal-clear water is located some distance away, overflowing on to the ornamental stones bounding the pool. Garden benches provide a comfortable area for angels to enjoy their time and fulfil their pleasures. The most prominent castle of the Tavatimsa heaven is known as Paichayon Maha Prasat. Made of 7 types of precious gems, soaring 4000 km up into the upper atmosphere and enclosed by walls of the same, nothing is comparable to the beauty of this place.

 

These mythical descriptions inspired the design concept determining the planning layout as well as the forms of the buildings. Supplementary to the existing old building, elements such as engraved walls were integrated into the design. Besides casting stimulating light and shadows during the course of the day, these pattern-engraved walls also control the direction of circulation, at the same time delivering an intriguing approach to the entrance. As the sun’s rays percolate through the clear waters of the sparkling white pool, its colours merge with the emerald surface of the ocean in the background. Preserving the existing structure of the traditional Thai roof, meticulous alterations were made to the original building, incorporating a white colour scheme and glass walls to achieve a light, airy atmosphere as though the buildings are hovering above the heavens.
