A soaring 314m multi-use development in Bangkok’s CBD, dubbed the ‘Pixelated Tower’, has become the tallest building in Thailand.

The 77-storey, 150,000 sqm MahaNakhon tower will host 200 serviced apartments, a retail centre with restaurants and cafes, a 150-room boutique hotel and a rooftop Sky Bar. It will also have a direct link to the Chongnonsi Skytrain station.

According to the German architect Ole Scheeren responsible for the design, the building, “melds with the city by gradually dissolving as it flows downward to meet the ground”.

A landscaped public plaza at the front of the tower will host cultural events and serve as a “landscaped retreat for the city’s inhabitants”.
