“The Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok” stands out for its beautiful surroundings on the bank of the Chao Phraya River. All residences have breath-taking views. The project also provides exceptional quality of life and wellness with systems to purify and circulate clean indoor air.
“Resilient Design” addresses potential environmental or social challenges. Effective water management applies innovations to reduce water use. Design for “Zero Waste Water” eliminates the release of untreated wastewater.
Mr. Visit Malaisirirat, CEO of MQDC, said: “LEED Gold is an achievement that underlines MQDC's world-class standards. Developing real estate, especially residential projects, has changed greatly. Residents pay more attention to environmental stewardship, in energy, water, and waste, including living ecosystems. All MQDC projects take into account these issues. The ‘Residences at Mandarin Oriental, Bangkok’ is a residential masterpiece by MQDC and Thailand. We are extremely proud of the LEED Gold award as it underscores MQDC’s commitment to and success in enhancing quality of life and sustainability under our philosophy of ‘For All Well-being’. The more awards we receive, the more MQDC will strive to operate so that Thailand’s property development standards are globally recognised.”

From the very first day of project development, Atelier Ten and MQDC have put a lot of commitment and dedication into the quality of the project, residential living, and environmental stewardship in every detail. We received an outstanding rating from LEED, including a perfect score for ‘Innovation in Design’. For ‘Sustainable Sites’ we scored almost 90%, covering the development of living space with community, control of building cooling, protection from flash floods, and excellent connectivity with public transport.
