The MET Skyscraper in Bangkok

This project was designed in 2003 and is to complete in 2009. The project was the winning entry in a limited competition and comprises housing, hotel and retail space in the heart of Bangkok. The design concept explores ideas for tropical development at high densities.

The high rise tower proposes gardens and swimming pools in the sky in perforated towers that allow light and air to penetrate the slender forms. The retail block floats in a lotus pond and participates in the life of the city through showcase pods that puncuate the facade. The hotel explores new ideas for urban hotel rooms, incorporating sky gardens and spas into the tower.
