ICONSIAM, Mixed-use development on Chao Phraya River, Bangkok, Thailand
ICONSIAM is a mixed-use complex along the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok that combines shopping centers, residential towers, and entertainment spaces in one location. The development features multiple buildings with distinct purposes, making it a multifunctional destination where visitors can shop, dine, or simply walk along the waterfront.
The complex opened in 2014 as a joint venture between three major Thai business groups. This development marked a significant step in transforming the riverfront in this area.
SookSiam is an indoor market divided into four sections representing Thailand's regions, where local artisans display traditional crafts and regional cuisine. Visitors can wander through each area and taste food prepared using recipes from different parts of the country.
The complex is accessible by private boat and ferry services via four piers along the river. An automated transit line also serves the area with a convenient station nearby for easy arrival.
The ICONLUXE building features a sculptural glass facade inspired by krathong, the traditional Thai floating decorations made from banana leaves. This design brings a cultural symbol into contemporary architecture in an unexpected way.
