Nestled in the heart of Bangkok on Chidlom Road, the Chidlom Place Condominium stands as a testament to timeless architecture. Originally designed by the renowned architects Rifenberg and Rirkrit in the late 1980s, this iconic building recently underwent a significant transformation. The Full Building Facade & Landscape Renovations project, completed in 2022, breathed new life into this residential landmark.

A Comprehensive Renovation

The project, commissioned by the Chidlom Place Condominium Juristic Person, spanned two years and involved a wide array of services provided by CMI. The scope of work was extensive and meticulously planned to ensure the highest standards of quality and safety. Key services included:

The result is a harmonious blend of old and new, preserving the building’s heritage while enhancing its functionality and aesthetic appeal.
