Transport, commercial and recreational connectivity and the importance of the Tha Maharaj pier canopy

Projects with connections between transportation, trade, services and entertainment are probably no longer strange to developed countries, especially a country strong in tourism like Thailand. The Tha Maharaj wharf area is the intersection of such works.

Located right on the riverbank, it is a place to transport guests and locals by waterway transport along the Tha Maharaj river. Inside, there is an integrated dining and entertainment area, adjacent to the local market, Bangkok University of Architecture and the king's palace. All have created a highlight for commerce and entertainment. Therefore, in terms of architecture, it must also create a highlight.

Visualize a sail symbolizing navigation with a dock canopy designed from stretched canvas.

The outdoor park on the 3rd floor of the integrated area is also where visitors gather every day. The wide view overlooking the river is extremely airy and cool. In the opposite direction, tourists traveling by boat or buildings across the river can also see this commercial area easily.

Therefore, highlighting the image of the commercial area with the image of a sail that represents a nautical image and is also extremely sophisticated is the approach of the design team here. This is both highly symbolic and provides cover for the top roof area so people can enjoy the riverside space.
