MahaNakhon is a luxury mixed-use skyscraper located in theSilom/Sathon central business district of Bangkok, Thailand and was opened in late August 2016. Designed to fit into the Thai landscape with a unique pixelated facade, it features the unconventional appearance of a glass curtain walled square tower with a cuboid-surfaced spiral cut into the side of the building. Following transfer of the first residential units in April 2016, it has been recognized as the tallest building in Thailand on 4 May by CTBUH at 314.2 metres (1,031 ft), with 77 floors featuring hotel, retail and residences, 200 units of The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Bangkok inside the building are priced between around US$1,100,000 to US$17,000,000, making it one of the most expensive condominiums in Bangkok.


The tower's design assumes the shape of a square prism with the appearance of a rough spiral with cuboidal surfaces cut into the side of the building. The building features a pixilated ribbon that swirls around the exterior, peeling back its surface layer to expose an inner layer (while also creating balconies with sweeping views of the city). This ribbon prevents the tower from overpowering the city that surrounds it, allowing the structure to, in a sense, dissolve into the landscape below. The glass walls are divided horizontally and vertically, adding to the building's "pixelated" appearance. Its height, 314 metres (1,030 ft), with 77 floors, now makes it the tallest building in Thailand by structural height, surpassing Baiyoke Tower II's record of 304 metres (997 ft), and at the time of completion in 2016, making it the 88th tallest building in the world.

That's not true.. You think this structure was just erected without carrying out alot of research. Mind you, Building has it's own technology.

Fake you!!!

A beauty

This is awesome and can be achieved in Nigeria. What the structural engr did was to design several cantilevers ascending upwards and in spiral form. If you observe closely, each cantilever supports two levels of curtain walls (max three), so the load on each cantilever is reduced. He also introduced several drop beams above each cantilever and the slab above it used as balconies. With the right structural design, the right surveyor to give me levels and good scaffolding/cradle system, this can be achieved in Nigeria.

WoW!!!!!


I feel inspired!!!!

KingRex1, Certifiedbillio LostCity coman see oooi

I always weep for Nigeria when I see resplendent buildings like this. If only the past leaders had worked for the good of the nation, there would have been enough for everyone. Make thunder fire backwardness!
