In the heart of Bangkok’s lively Thonglor – neighbourhood, a striking new architectural project by ASWA (Architectural Studio of Work – Aholic) is turning heads. Named PLP City Range, this six-story mixed-use building seamlessly integrates recreational spaces with residential units, all set within a dynamic façade of undulating precast concrete panels
The standout feature of the structure is its curved exterior – a rhythmic interplay of concave and convex concrete elements inspired by the graceful arc of a golf swing. These sculpted panels not only captivate passersby but also help control the penetration of natural light, thereby enhancing the comfort and ambience of interior spaces.
The building’s program is stacked vertically with a diverse range of functions. The ground floor houses retail spaces, parking, and a welcoming lobby. On the second level, an indoor golf simulator area tailored for youth is paired with a casual canteen. One floor up, more exclusive VIP golf bays, private suites, and a bar offer premium experiences for serious golf enthusiasts.
Sporting functions continue on the fourth floor, which opens up to a semi-outdoor putting and chipping green as well as a multi-sport court. These are thoughtfully designed for cross-ventilation and a closer connection to nature. The top two floors feature bare-shell double-height residential units, allowing future customisation. Carefully positioned curved glass windows on these levels offer sweeping views of the surrounding Thonglor skyline while also supporting the lighting needs for the indoor golf areas.
