Project Description
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:
- Design Review and Coordination: Close collaboration with the Project Manager and Designer to ensure seamless integration of new designs.
- Construction Planning: Detailed planning to manage timelines and resources effectively.
- Safety and Protection System Design: Implementing robust safety measures to protect both workers and residents.

Respectful Renovation and Modernisation
The renovation project was not just about updating the building; it was about respecting its original design while bringing it into the modern era. The use of custom-made ceramic tiles to replace the original ones is a prime example of this respectful approach. The result is a harmonious blend of old and new, preserving the building’s heritage while enhancing its functionality and aesthetic appeal.
The Full Building Facade & Landscape Renovations project at Chidlom Place is a shining example of how thoughtful design and high-quality materials can transform a building. It stands as a beacon of modern residential architecture in Bangkok, ready to serve its residents for many more years to come.
