Siamese Exclusive 31 is located in the heart of Bangkok city at Sukhumvit 31 where the old low-rise are replaced with more high-density developments. The project's objective is to provide residences with great privacy and live with greenery. The lifts are distributed across the floor to create a semi-private lift system; one lift serves only two units per floor. It not only helps to create an excellent privacy experience but also increases the efficiency of the building. The design maximizes the building height and increases floor-to-floor height to allow the addition of a mezzanine floor in units. Three types of trees are provided randomly on every balcony, together with expanded mesh for green walls. The soil depth of the trees is put under the floor level, allowing the efficient use of the balcony space.

Integrating green elements into the building facade creates a suitable environment for the residents and their neighbors. It also helps to absorb carbon dioxide. Hopefully, the design could be one of the ways to build the future development of the city.
