With its unique architecture and original design, the MahaNakhon Tower in Thailand doesn’t fail to impress. Surrounded by a ribbon of pixels and measuring 314 metres—a national record—it’s inauguration was as special as the tower itself; an extraordinary light and sound show held on 29 August.
Designed by the famous German architect Ole Scheeren, Mahanakhon houses 194 high-end apartments, a 150-room luxury hotel, and a shopping centre. On behalf of its client, Pace Development, Bouygues Thai, with support from VSL teams experts in post-tension, carried out the design and build of structural works of the Mahanakhon tower in Bangkok, as well as the partitions and the finishing works of the “backs of the house”. From the pouring of the concrete apron, the largest ever built by Bouygues Construction with 21,480m3 of concrete, up to the completion of the cantilevered glass slab at a height of 310 metres, tens of employees successively contributed to making the Pixel tower one of the new symbols of Bangkok.
