Chapter Charoennakorn Riverside

The Charoennakorn Riverside sales gallery in Bangkok is the product of close collaboration among architect, interior designer and landscape architect, who together set out to erase the boundary between the display building and the Chao Phraya River. An artificial water surface is deliberately composed so that it integrates with the river, visually pulling the river to the very edge of the exhibition zone. The artificial water is treated as the binding element of the whole scheme: it unifies all design components and plays a decisive role in producing a distinct landscape atmosphere and evoking the riverside setting. By reflecting the sky, the far bank and the architecture itself, the still water dissolves the line where the site ends and the city waterway begins, allowing visitors standing inside the gallery to feel that they are already on the river rather than merely looking at it. The collaboration across disciplines ensures that materials, interior volumes and landscape edges share a common horizon line, so that the sales gallery reads as a single, continuous waterside room rather than as a building sitting beside a river.
