As far as looks go – I don’t think this is the most beautiful building either. But the natural ventilation saves so much energy, it’s brilliant and hopefully something that we’ll see more of in the future.

i can’t see why this building won the award. there’s nothing really innovative.. or it is me being blind

Privacy is always of uttermost importance for developers in Asia. Less apartments per lobby makes the units more exclusive, higher price, better to sell. That could have played a role.

This is the most beautiful high-rise building in Thailand ever!!!! Everything is perfect, except for those ugly pattern decorated around the building.

its beautiful. no more wine and perfum bottles.
just a plain old building with something to say (though I wouldn’t put that pattern on the sides…with plain color would be really beautiful).
nice work.

dont judge a book by its cover. but the inside and outside do not really relate as much as i think they should. all in all i think this was very interesting home-like spaces inside.

Yeah JDR! Totally agree! I love it! Finally something constructed, not fashion designed! But i agree one thing about breaking so strongly the skyline… This is a bit tough! But i would love to see such design here in Shanghai! It would make sense with a few adaptations to the local climate.
And also not very sure about the pixelated pattern is or isn’t a good idea.
But definitely this is awesome!!

Hideous!

My heart goes out to all the Thai’s who must endure the look of this monstrosity.

I really like it.
From the front it looks very fragile and seems like made of grey carton i built my models of.
From the thin side it seems much more massive althoug is very slender. Futhermore from this poit of view it has a cool technical charism (i don´t exactly know what it reminds me of, but it has something of a radiator grill or a cooling system with fins).
The interior is really tasteful and simple
and i also think it fits very well in the local environment.

I think it is just fantastic!
Why can a high-rise building not be a building.
Why does a skyscraper has to be designed like a pen or any other design object.
This is brutalism, constructivism and as much architecture as any other arty-farty curved skyscraper.

Spot on.

Awful. Purely awful. Hate the shape, hate the colours.. don’t understand it, don’t like it enough to get to know it..
