Hilton Pattaya – added 24 Apr 2012
This Thai hotel building overlooks the Pattaya beach. The hotel lobby and bar occupies the 17th floor. The architectural intervention to the entire ceiling plane, with its dynamic wave lines, leads the movement of the visitors towards the seafront beyond. The fabric installation on the ceiling becomes a main feature in the space while simple elements on the ground provide a tranquil atmosphere.
