Located in Nonthaburi – an outskirt province to the North of Bangkok, Thailand, ‘Tara Park’ is a redevelopment project destined to be a Creative and Innovative Forest district. The objective is to transform a low-density office building into a modern smart high-rise building surrounded by nature that aims to strengthen corporate values and sustainability for society.
The project name Tara means Water Stream, which implies a sense of place created by the existing natural pond in the old development.
Respecting this unique feature, the large part of the pond is not only preserved but also improved with a smart water management concept working together with reuse water from the new building to deal with floods, supplying water for dry season, and nurturing surrounding greenery/wetland habitats creating new values for the existing pond.
The new forest ecosystem is proposed throughout the site creating a seamless link with nature enhances people’s physical and mental health, leading to a happy and healthy work environment.
The landscape design is inspired by the organic form. Entering the project, crosswalks, ramps, and walkways are designed under a universal design standard. Drop-off separates the accessibility of the office and education zone. Besides, The cover walkway located along with the nature pond leads to the office building and the retention pond.
Outdoor activity lawns between the buildings provide multifunctional space for resting, chitchatting, and exchanging ideas under the shade of trees. Varieties of spaces are accommodated to encourage a healthy lifestyle such as a 25-meter-long swimming pool and 600-meter-long jogging tracks. Moreover, the open court on the side of the project can be transformed to support various sports and events such as tennis, futsal, basketball, performance space, and a flea market.
