Project info:Project name: Toyota Motor Thailand Marketing Office ComplexArchitectural Design: ASWA (Architectural Studio of Work - Aholic)Interior Design: SAIDLandscape Design: LAABProject Management: ARTO ASWA designs a new office complex where the architectural curve meets the landscape curve to create exterior and interior space fluidity. Located on the east side of Bangkok along the highway, the new Toyota Motor Thailand Marketing Complex aimed to connect people and green areas from working spaces to green courtyards welcoming natural light and greenery views for everyone to relax during working hours. The complex is a mixed-use commercial-office building on 36,600 square meters of land. The site locates in a TOYOTA test drive area that aims to connect people, nature, and cars by designing the landscape to architecture and interior space. This project can divide into three parts "The Community," "The Convention," and "The Office," with the concept of driving tracks that are applied to the layout and landscape of buildings. Considering the existing site as a TOYOTA test drive area, the concept of driving tracks is selected to apply to the building's layout and landscape, which can notice from the curved edges as the turning point in a race track in every corner of the buildings. Likewise, the greenery landscape will place in every negative space from an overlapping plan.  The office is the complex's main building with almost 9,900 sq. m. and four floors. The first two floors are used for indoor parking lots with a curved corner rectangular-shaped floor plan with a perforated aluminum facade, allowing light and air ventilation. At the same time, the third and fourth floor has an overlapping racetrack-shaped plan with a continuous glass facade. On the third floor, the main office area has different ceiling heights and one central open court, which grants natural light to the whole space with a greenery view. The larger outdoor activities space on the fourth floor greets everyone to appreciate nature. The complex expects to complete in the year 2022. There will be a showroom, retail, restaurants, conventional area, co-working area, office, test drive, and new headquarters to connect everyone to this new community.
