WIRELESS ROAD, BANGKOK FOSTER + PARTNERS


Construction has begun on two new ultra-luxury residential towers (214 metres and 284 metres) in the heart of Bangkok. Located on Wireless Road, the development is adjacent to the 142-acre Lumphini Park, which is regarded as the fi rst public park in Thailand. The project designed by Foster + Partners through its local entity F&P (Thailand), who said it “extends the experience of the park across the development’s ground plane and vertically.” Each tower is made up of two interlocking square volumes, which are rotated by 45° to minimise overlooking and maximise city views of the park and


the city’s Central Business District. The buildings step down towards the road to reduce their visual impact, with large plates at different intervals to further break down their massing. The timeless facade has a “strong horizontality,“ said F&P, with striking textured awnings that shade the interior spaces. Each tower has its own entrance and drop-off zones for residents and guests, which enable direct access from tree-lined driveways. Shaded verandas with overhanging canopies wrap both buildings at ground level, creating indoor-outdoor spaces for socialising and relaxation. A discreet route from the fi rst tower leads to a private pool, a single-storey children’s pavilion, and a separate children’s pool. The glass pavilion is fi lled with natural light and provides direct connections with the spectacular natural landscape. Private lifts transport residents to their apartments, where some prime units feature large double-height balconies that offer panoramic views of the city.
