IBECE

IBECE was awarded The First Package of Façade Engineering in the MahaNakhon Project, Bangkok – Thailand.


MahaNakhon - a visionary new 77-story high-rise complex located on a 3.6 acre site in the heart of Bangkok's Central Business District with a direct link to the Chongnonsi BTS Skytrain station between Silom and Sathorn Roads.

With its distinctive sculptural appearance, MahaNakhon has been carefully carved to introduce a three-dimentional ribbon of architectural 'pixel' that circle the tower's full height, as if excavating portions of the elegant glass curtain wall to reveal the inner life of the building - metaphorically and actually - an architecture that encloses and protects its inhabitants while revealing the inner life of their city. The pixelation gives MahaNakhon an arresting profile on the skyline while generating a set of very special features to house the diverse functions of the building complex in an intelligently strategic way.

The design for MahaNakhon dismantles the typical tower and podium typology to render not a tower in isolation but instead a skyscraper that melds with the city by gradually 'dissolving' the mass as it moves vertically between ground and sky. This effect begins with a series of generous cascading indoor/outdoor terraces at The Hill - the area at the tower's base housing luxury retail and dining.
