This building was a left-over abandoned project from the financial crisis back in 1997....but luckily, The Krung Thai Bank started to considered where should the company build up it's new headquater instead of the new complex in Rama III Business Distric which would be over-scaled and might be over-demanded for the quite office market (At the time which was in 2002)...so, The company decided to resumn this left-over building which just directly-opporsite the old headquater.

Rises 30-storey-tall, The Tower was re-designed by P. Interior ans Associate which is the Sub-company of The Plan Architect : The company that designed "Baiyoke II Tower". Finishing date set to Dec, 25 This year.....surely it will be the centerpiece of the area due to it's gorgeous crown and magnificant facade... ;)

Thank goodness theyre resuming it! All those on-hold buildings are really an eyesore in the city:bash:

Its facade looks cool too:cool:

the facade looks very nice. but too bad they will not develop bldg. in Rama III anymore. I feel like Rama III's importance is going down, don't you think?

Wow,Almost done. One of my favorite.

Note : The Tower' self is now finished, the plaza is looking very good and I think They'r gonna put plam-trees in the front

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/1310DSC05185.JPG

the more i see it, the more i like this bldg. :) i also like the color and the bank sign on the glass. i bet the bank employees must be excited to move into this new bldg.

On the side that popped out, there are 3 glass-elevators there too...:)

Nice looking building .. nice to walk around there someday.

:)

นี่คืออาคารตัวอย่างที่เป็นอาคารที่สมบูรณ์แบบมากๆ ทั้งการใช้วัสดุ เทคโนโลยี รายละเอียดต่างๆ ดูเข้ากับยุคกับสมัย plaza ด้านหน้าน่าจะออกมาดูดีนะครับ โดยเฉพาะลิฟต์แก้วนี่น่าประทับใจมากๆ ตึกอื่นๆ น่าจะดูเป็นตัวอย่าง

Yeh, The proportion is very well rises.....very hard to believe this structure was before used to be a trash-like unfinished abandoned junk...:)

May 3, 204 :

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/1310DSC05389.JPG

This protective covering, is it used specificly for metal cladding?

Aluminium, I think

The base looks cool :cool:

u gotta see the entrance-roof Raf....looks cooler..;)

May 10, 2004 :

Note : The Plaza

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/1310paragose_060.JPG

Looks pretty much like the Prnpat's one...:)

I think it's one of the better scrapers in town.

The proportion is very well calculated, Gorgeous in both shape and facade....:)

wow very nice, must be one of my favourite scraper in BKK now

Is it open for business now? Chad do you have a night pic of that? I want to see when it lights up :D Hope it will be gorgeous

No, they'r still doing the interior and plaza level......will be fully finished approximately around next month or so...:)

i agree ,,one of the best in town :)....

Top quality

This highrise is pretty good. And the Q house buliding next to it also impress me.

:)

Impresssed you?...why so, I thought that Sony Music Building was ugly...:D

May 18, 2004 :

Note : .......look at it

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/1310DSC05743.JPG

Impresssed you?...why so, I thought that Sony Music Building was ugly...:D

Because the light reflected harsh my eyes. Just kidding. :D

In fact I really like this kind of glassy facade. :)

Oh....me too...:)

I like Q-House too! It's a little short though and since they have paired the floors together it looks like it has only half the amount of floors.

Q house isn't that bad for me.in fact.I like it. :D

yes.. not bad :)

I dont hate Q-House, I just dont really like it..:), the front looks of but from the side looks a little bit tacky....

Hmm.. yeah, especially from the side seen in the picture :(

Luckily I think few people notice that side because they see it from wither Sukhumvit/Ploenchit or from the expressway :)

yeh, and the building is not too tall either...rather Taipei Style....

Yeah I thought q house (sony building)
was really nice before glassy and cool, and it took me maybe a year before I noticed the whole tower structure god!! how can they build q house tower like that, it would be much nicer if it looked the same on the back of the building as the front

May 23, 2004 :

Note : Mostly finished..

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/1310DSC05869.JPG

Here u go, Q-House Ploenchit

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/1310DSC05868.JPG

I've never seen Q-House from that angle before, and that other pic is so green and pleasant.. I like those old style houses in front of the expressway :)

Yes, that parcel of land which those houses located on has already been sold to the Property developer.....I forgot was it Goldenland or Sansiri.....

http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/1310DSC05869.JPG


I love this pic and Sukhumvit tower looks awesome.

What an amazing picture. It looks so peaceful.

looks so contrast... old~new :)

From several pix above, I am confused. About the distance and relative location between Sukhumvit Tower and Q House. But it doesn't matter. :D

The thing I want to say is: This shot is very good. I love it too.
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/500/1310DSC05869.JPG

Sukhumvit tower and Q-House got sseperated by the expresssway...:)

It's still there na. At the bottom of the forum page choose to Show threads From -> Beginning.
For some reason it always resets this to show only threads that were updated within the last month. Maybe there is a setting in the personal preferences for this, or it's a different setting for each forum?
