Centrally located in Bangkok, the hotel caters to business travelers and tourists on a budget. Every aspect of the building design and its services were thus optimized to suit the clientele. This involves everything from devising the most efficient circulation routes and creating a compact building footprint, to reducing unnecessary leisure services and providing such features as DIY laundry room and vending machines in their stead.


Following the same principles, the façade design generates visual interest by emphasizing the building’s simple form through repetition. A checkerboard pattern was applied, and voids were carved out on the building corners to create the iconic appearance of a series of stacked boxes.


To help with energy conservation, acoustic performance and construction cost management, the façade design adhered to a 60:40 solid to void ratio. Nevertheless, the architects ensured that the windows are full-height, and in this way achieved a pleasant interior ambience despite tight resources.
