The Politan Aqua by

The site is landscape area of sales gallery of the Politan Aqua which is a 61 storey condominium with 2,741 units for the mid-range market at Chao Praya riverside which is a very rare location in greater Bangkok nowadays. This area would be used as a third place for condominium after project completion. This project is the 3rd project launched in the Politan project series which is located next to each other in the same location. The key concept for the Politan brand keeping from phase 1 (The Politan Rive) is inspired from river continuously from the main concept in phase 1 project which is the very urban look but in a different language to create uniqueness for this project. For the Politan Aqua, we think about the river on the way back to our charming past. Inspired by the old way of Thai riverside lifestyle. Which river was as the main circulation with floating raft houses along the river. By bringing back a river spirit charm and touch of lovely memories of Thai riverside lifestyle to modern living. A platform of floating bamboo rafts, mooring poles and flow of the river itself are brought to cut and mix together then translate into modern design elements which could complement the architectural and riverside space. Intentionally not to add any unnecessary constructed elements near the river to show the river respect and to keep only dawn and plantings that allow flood in a rainy season. And design space that residents can feel the connection to the river in a far distance, so the residents can experience a various connection with the Chao Phraya River. Start from “Politan signature pond”, reflecting pond in front of the building to welcome all visitors. Then “Social Swimming pool”, swimming pool is located to surround on a corner of building in order to bring the Chao Phraya River closer visually and also maximize the reflection of the beautiful natures into water surface. “River Naga Bridge”, the viewpoint bridge that is inspired from rafting platform connected like the flowing shape of river or Naga in Thai legend bring residents to experience Chao Phraya from above. Next to riverbank is “Aqua Terrace”, as a riverfront garden which main elements is open lawn with dynamic narrow curb line that inspired from river wave. Carefully placed some trees and shrub to stay connect all elements to the river. The Politan Pond It is the signature pond is our design which owner uses as a signature feature from Phase 1 of The Politan condominium series. (The Politan River) It is a reflecting pond located in front of the sales office as an intro of water existing on our site.
