Immersed in the cultural tapestry of Bangkok's riverside, Ten Six Hundred stands as a testament to thoughtful architectural design that pays homage to its historical surroundings. The boutique hotel, designed by Kaizentopia Company Limited, draws from the traditional riverside communities of Bangkok, where waterways were central to daily life and architecture. The hotel's design features expansive openings and intricate patterns reminiscent of the local dwellings, creating a serene atmosphere that invites guests to experience the tranquility of the river.
What sets Ten Six Hundred apart is its unique connection to its locale, specifically the Khlong San district, reflected in its very name which corresponds to the area's postal code, "10600." The hotel's strategic location on Charoen Nakorn 39 offers 31 rooms and is accessible by both car and boat, providing guests with an authentic Bangkok experience. The property spans approximately 1,835 square meters and includes two main buildings, each designed to offer a distinct perspective of the river and city.
The Softscape design of Ten Six Hundred is a key feature, enhancing the hotel's spaces with a lush, green ambiance. The landscape architects selected plant species that not only thrive in the local environment but also contribute to the green connectivity between the hotel's various levels. This thoughtful selection ensures that the hotel's gardens are not only beautiful but also sustainable and easy to maintain.
Guests at Ten Six Hundred can enjoy a wide range of amenities, from the welcoming Drop off and Arrival court to the rooftop bar and restaurant. The hotel's spatial program is designed to cater to diverse preferences, ensuring that whether guests are seeking relaxation by the swimming pools or hosting events on the Function Lawn, their experience will be multifaceted and memorable.
One of the main challenges faced during the design process was the commitment to sustainability. The team at Kaizentopia Company Limited carefully selected materials and construction methods that minimized environmental impact. The use of modular steel structures and prefabricated wooden panels facilitated on-site assembly, reducing construction waste and preserving the integrity of the surrounding community.
As a testament to its design excellence, Ten Six Hundred has been honored with the Iron A' Design Award in Landscape Planning and Garden Design for 2024. This accolade recognizes the hotel's successful integration of innovative design with practical and industrial standards, contributing positively to the landscape of boutique hotels in Bangkok. Kaizentopia Company Limited holds the intellectual property rights for this project, ensuring the preservation of its unique design identity.
