WOHA: the met residential skyscraper, bangkok

the met, a bangkok residential skyscraper designed by WOHA won world's best housing development award this year at the world architecture festival. influenced by thai tiles, textiles and timber panelling, the concept behind the complex was to explore ideas of how low-rise tropical housing can be applied to create outdoor-indoor spaces in the sky. with the aim of creating a better lifestyle for metropolitan living, the met was developed less from western temperate models and more on the possibilities of low-wind, tropical climates in dense urban conditions - it is within tropic climages where you experience cooler breezes, less dust, more privacy, security, less noise and better views the higher you go.
