Sky Forest Scape

Bangkok, Thailand

Urban Stage on the Sky

Rising above the city, Sky Forest Scape connects Bangkok vertically with greenery and open sky. Surrounded by biodiverse vegetation, it offers panoramic views of the skyline. Winding paths through native trees create calm pockets within the urban rhythm. This elevated greenscape invites connection, play, and rest. Here, public space reaches new heights, blurring nature and city life.

“SKY FOREST SCAPE” is a new type of public space on the roof for Bangkok.

It is a part of the new mixed use development called “SIAMSCAPE” which is located at the heart of ‘Siam Square’ – a vibrant young-gen commercial district. This project is a part of the bigger master plan that aims to revamp ‘Siam Square’ with more people-centric urban spaces including walking street, gathering places, and greenery.

On ground, ‘BIO STREET’ connects people from the main walking street through a lush greenery that is designed as dry swale with porous paving to mitigate runoff water from the street. Series of lifts and escalators leads to the 10th floor.

Corner of this rectangular space is lifted to form a large amphitheatre and provide ample soil depth for forest trees grove to create a comfortable and cooling gathering spot for tropical climate.

Strong linear lines from the architecture facade continue to landscape pavement to create a holistic space.

After the landscape was completed, It became a new gathering space of ‘Siam Square’ serving many activities throughout the day and the week. It can be a quiet chill-out space after classes, performance rehearsal stage, a tik tok dance background or a concert in the garden.

This new rooftop public space is designed to cater for multi-function, open-end possibilities for the new generations to create.
