Mahanakhon building, owned by King Power group, is an architectural landmark of the city. It is a focal point for Thai design, culture and architecture.

‍

The main concept of this lighting design is to present the beauty of Thai culture through the building, and to link it with Thai features of nature, such as a representation of traditional rice harvesting. Along with lights filled with images and colours that emulate the natural lighting. An other main aspect dear to the designer is to highlight the elements of Thai architecture.

The concept aims at blending elements of lush nature and Thai culture to present it on the facade and concern, while preserving the harmony between lighting and architecture.

We designed by adapting lighting and the building’s features with pixel-art. We materialize the images of the main concept as a graphic scheme applied on the facade, so people can understand it easily.

Lighting design will correlate to the building’s time of use. Were search and analyse about the time frames of the building’s inhabitants that use the indoor areas, until the time that we will turn on the facade’s light and how it would affect the building.

‍

Additionally, we designed the lighting concept for all types of events concerning the building.
