Managing Organization:

Golden Land Property Development PLC – the owner of the building launched a plan to develop a land site, located at the Sathorn – Narathivas intersection which belongs to the Crown Property Bureau. This land plot used to be the former Russian Embassy Compound. The embassy building is a historic building under architectural conservation prescribed by the Fine Art Department of Thailand.Golden Land Property Development PLC intended to construct a state-of-the-art energy conservation office building to accommodate the rising demand of office
spaces amid the heart of Bangkok business center. The development does not only fulfill perceivable business demand but also satisfies the public need for a new intelligent green building with innovative technology of energy efficiency and conservation. At that point in time when the building was planned in 2007 and constructed from 2007-2010, there was not much, if any, supply of energy efficiency green buildings in the country. Given this vision, the owner & developer of Sathorn Square thus committed to realize its intention by working with the Crown Property Bureau and Fine Art Department to propose its development plan. The development took place with an approved design to preserve the uniqueness of the former Russian Embassy Building and build an intelligent green building named Sathorn Square on the land next to the Old Russian Embassy Building. Sathorn Square was completed and commenced operation in September 2011. In April 2013, it was awarded the Gold Level of the LEED Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).

Project Description:

Sathorn Square Building is a modern skyscraper designed to reflect a harmonious blend of the unique curve lines usually applied in traditional.Thai architecture, seen in the building curve line and “curved edge” of the building corners as well as the building and its roof shape which is designed to be slightly steep with edges that curl up marginally, resembling the famous gable apex of Thai temples, known as “Chor Fah”, which is deemed a symbol of Thai architecture. The Glass Feature Cone on the corner of the building provides a 360-degree panorama view, the glass cone resembles a lotus bud, the shape and symbol that often appears in the Ayudhya style of architecture. The openspace, building curve, and unobstructed line of sight draw attention to the iconic grace of the building.
