One of Gaysorn Village’s key achievements in introducing the ‘Placemaking’ experience with the urban village concept is creating a seamless connection for people visiting the area. The first phase development started in 2017 by connecting Gaysorn Center and Gaysorn Tower in the north side of the precinct with Ratchaprasong Walk (R Walk) to provide convenient access to all buildings at several points. Gaysorn Amarin is soon to be relaunched as an integral part of Gaysorn Village under the concept “Old-New Spirit,” which is a perfect blend of modern design approaches and post-modern architecture from Roman columns to contemporary color palettes.
Co-created by CL3, an international awards-winning design studio from Hong Kong who also designed Gaysorn Tower, the design of the new connection is conceived with a view to enhance the environment of the entire precinct and transforming it into a continuous experience within all three buildings of Gaysorn Village.
The new look of Gaysorn Amarin is manifested in the design of a new facade, an architectural concept called “Gaysorn Cocoon,” which is a symbol of regeneration and rebirth with the integration of Roman columns representing knowledge and wisdom. The customer-centric design also seeks to create seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor areas with addition of green spaces, and the Hanging Garden which will serve as a place where people can meet and socialize.
The Piazza is a spacious multipurpose area that harmoniously connects the area outside the building to a road, thereby creating a vibrant atmosphere that is suitable for various events. The Forum is an inside area and event space for lifestyle experiences that are lively and fun.
Gaysorn Amarin, which will be fully launched in late 2023, will also promote tourism and bring business vibrancy to Ratchaprasong so as to turn it into Bangkok’s Capital of Lifestyle District with every necessary element, including office buildings, shopping centers, entertainment venues, hotels, residences and various types of facilities. Green areas and connected parks are also available within easy walking distance, helping visitors, tourists, partners, tenants, and residents live life to the fullest.
“The regeneration of Gaysorn Village to accomplish our ambition to create the ‘Placemaking’ experience costs over 1,000 million baht. We are welcoming leading lifestyle brands both domestic and international as well as entrepreneurs, creators and chefs to join us on a new journey towards success. Together, we will create prized spaces for people of various personalities, tastes and preferences in the Ratchaprasong area of Bangkok to discover new perspectives on life. Gaysorn Village is ready to make all three areas a link between living, working and shopping experiences that are full of energy and creativity,” added Charn.
The Gaysorn Village sales gallery is open daily on the 14th floor at Amarin Tower with a team of consultants to provide more details for those who are interested in opening a shop or service business on the premises.
