DESIGN NAME: Ten Six Hundred
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Riverside Boutique Hotel
INSPIRATION: Positioned alongside the Chao Phraya River, the hotel offers stunning views of the expansive and vibrant watercourse. The design takes cues from the historical riverfront setting of the site and the traditional residential communities in Bangkok, where homes were strategically located near rivers and canals and daily life revolved around boat travel. The architectural style of these dwellings often incorporates expansive openings, allowing residents to bask in the beauty of the golden hours when sunlight delicately caresses the water's surface, creating a shimmering spectacle with subtle reflections. Drawing inspiration from the intricate patterns found in these historical residential structures, the architects integrated similar motifs into the hotel's architectural design, echoing the charming flower pots commonly seen handing in front of traditional riverside homes. Such attributes help shape the hotel's landscape architecture where various elements including hardscape materials are devised to form unique pattern, collectively contributing to the hotel's distinct identity. The design aims to evoke a sense of tranquility, aligning with the hotel's purpose as a haven of rest and leisure. It ensures a seamless and aesthetically pleasing integration with the functional areas across the various sections of the hotel.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The postal code "10600" corresponds to the Khlong San district, a designation embraced by the Ten Six Hundred Chao Phraya River Hotel. This chosen name aptly captures the distinctive essence of this boutique hotel. Situated on Charoen Nakorn 39, the hotel boasts 31 rooms with convenient accessibility via both car and boat. Covering an expansive area of approximately 1,835 square meters, the hotel comprises two buildings: a four-story accommodation block and a two-story structure along the river.
