MahaNakhon by Büro Ole Scheeren

The 77-storey MahaNakhon – a name that translates as “great metropolis” – is defined by a pixelated form with cuboid cutaways that spiral up its facades. “The idea behind MahaNakhon was to take the life of the city and bring it up the tower in a dramatic, spiralling movement,” said Ole Scheeren, principal of Büro Ole Scheeren.

The observation deck includes a glass deck that is cantilevered out from the building to give visitors views directly down to the ground more that 300 metres below. Named the Skytray, the walkable glass platform measures 4.5 by 17.5 metres.
