LOCATION: BANGKOK, THAILAND, S.E. ASIA
PROJECT SIZE: 16,576.42 SQUARE FEET
OWNER: ICA
ARCHITECTURE: ROUSENA HOAG- CTG ARCHITECTS
CONTRACTOR: FACTOCON LTD.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The ICA expansion project incorporated an auditorium/worship center, administrative offices, meeting rooms, classrooms, library, kitchen, and restroom facilities within an existing building in downtown Bangkok.
The project’s success stemmed from an integrated design approach, facilitating collaboration between the client, architect, contractor, and construction trades. Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology effectively minimized change orders and reduced waste.
Serving an international community, ICA required flexible spaces to accommodate varying usage patterns throughout the week. The main auditorium/worship center features a sophisticated blend of wood and Thai silk, with natural materials adorning the lateral wall panels to create an inviting atmosphere. This design element complements the custom carpet pattern, which harmoniously follows the space’s layout.
