Design Narrative
.
Disappear into the transformative experiences, this upcoming lifestyle integrated hotel is strategically designed and specifically defined as a place for a niche; it is only for ladies to be shined, to be seen and to be herself at The Salil Hotel Riverside Bangkok by the river.
.
Set along the legendary Chao Phraya River with a long linear land plot, this hotel orients herself to the river and welcomes the pleasant view to the internal courtyard where main pool, main open space, open lawn, garden courtyard and riverside terrace are on the landscape axis with multi-layering of greenery created by various textures of plant in different scales to create privacy and intimacy within the hotel.
.
Inspired by the legendary Chao Phraya River and the beauty of womanly-inspired design, architecture, interior and landscape designs seamlessly blend in as a collaborative design not only the space planning but also the architectural façade and the small delicate details throughout the site.
.
Its planning also defines clearly the hierarchy of space; main open space, socialized space and private space as well as specifically serves the market target; pool is surrounded by retail outlets and guest rooms, the flexibility of the riverside terrace, the effective circulation system, etc.
.
Main swimming pool as Multi-level pool features the visual continuity and physical transition from lobby (+1.20) to garden (+0.00).
The small pocket pools within one large pool in different levels beautifully creates the hierarchy of space with customized interactions with the pool, strategically minimizes crowded in one area and subtly defines nodes where you can see others or to be seen by others.
.
The vertical garden plays an important role as part of the facade design creating the seamless integration between architecture and landscape. Its scale, proportion and position unmistakably define the human scale in the space surrounded by two buildings.
.
The Salil Hotel Riverside Bangkok therefore offers the essence of the serenity yet provokes the tempo of metropolitan lifestyle.
