The Earth Crew Headquarters

Three stacked boxes rest on a floating platform above Bangkok's narrow street, lifted to create a quieter working environment away from the bustle below, while opening up views and allowing for nine parking spaces underneath. The decision to divide the building into three separate boxes responds to the tight urban condition of the site. Rather than creating one large, monolithic mass along the narrow and busy street, the smaller volumes break down the scale of the building and allow more light to reach the surrounding neighborhood.
