In this article (4)
Bangkok luxury mall Central Embassy has unveiled a new space, Open House, where customers can eat, work, study or just relax – even take a nap.
Covering the entire top floor, Central Embassy Open House offers 7000 sqm of open-concept “co-living space” beneath high ceilings, with glass panels all around offering city views.
As well as a “co-working space”, Open House offers a restaurant, lounge, bar, bookshop, art gallery, design shop and children’s playground, nestled against the Embassy Diplomat Screens cinema.
“It took almost two years to complete this project,” says Central Embassy MD Barom Bhicharnchitr. “Accessible luxury is the key, but luxury is not about price – it’s mostly about quality of life.”
Central Group launched the THB18-billion (US$523.1 million) Embassy in 2014 on part of the former British Embassy site and Wireless and Ploenchit Roads. Its curving 200m facade advertises such brands as Gucci, Prada and Ralph Lauren, while ticket prices in its VIP cinema top THB1000.
