A Perfect Design For The Tropics

Sindhorn Village is a luxurious, mixed-use development in central Bangkok. The master plan of this new landmark also features a generous green space with a low-density ratio that will enhance its residents’ living standards. Sindhorn Village consists of the Sindhorn Residence condominium, Baan Sindhorn serviced apartments, Kimpton Maa-Lai hotel & restaurant, Sindhorn Kempinski hotel & residences, an art museum and the Velaa retail plaza.

Velaa Sindhorn Village is the fruition of A49’s award winning design. The single-story semi-outdoor retail mall merges with the green space called Super Green. Cafes, restaurants, shops, services and a below-ground supermarket are weaves together along this green space creating a seamless connection to the surrounding urban fabric. Areas dedicated to community use, or “green courts” are interspersed throughout this complex.

The design of the retail buildings meanders 300 meters along Langsuan Road, around the established large trees, effectively creating a ribbon of shops and restaurants. This formation, along with the tall façade, makes each shop visible from the street, attracting customers. There is no need for air conditioning in this complex as open plan walkways allow for natural ventilation. The perforated canopy roof over the shopping areas and pedestrian walkways is supported by branches of treelike columns to mimic the experience of strolling in a park.

Rays of light filtering through the roof canopy of the five main courts shimmer and create shadows below like the pattern of leaves, allowing natural daylight into the interiors. Lighting design, both warm and welcoming, illuminates the night through the perforations like fireflies in an enchanted forest.

Sindhorn Village 是位于曼谷市中心的一项豪华综合发展项目。这个新地标的总体规划还包括一个低密度的宽敞绿地，这将提高居民的生活水平。

Velaa Sindhorn Village 是 A49 获奖设计的结晶。单层半户外零售商场与名为 Super Green 的绿地融为一体。咖啡馆、餐厅、商店、服务和地下超市沿着这个绿色空间编织在一起，与周围的城市肌理形成了无缝连接。

这座建筑物围绕着大树，有效地创造了一条商店和餐厅的带状结构。这种形式，连同高大的立面，使每家商店从街上都能看到，吸引了顾客。这座建筑物不需要空调，因为开放式走道允许自然通风。购物区和人行道上的穿孔天篷由树状柱子的分支支撑，以模仿在公园散步的体验。

光线透过五个主要庭院的屋顶天篷闪烁着微光，并在下方形成树叶图案的阴影，让自然光进入室内。灯光设计，既温暖又好客，透过穿孔照亮夜晚，就像梦幻森林中的萤火虫。
