Club Royal Condominium is a multi-building residential development located in the Naklua area near Wong Amat Beach in Pattaya. The project was designed by Mario Kleff and developed by Heights Holdings.
Design Development and Permitting
The project underwent multiple design iterations during its planning phase, each accompanied by revised architectural and engineering documentation. For each iteration, updated building permits were obtained to ensure compliance with applicable regulatory frameworks while enabling refinement of spatial organisation, structural systems, and façade articulation. Early design phases explored a restrained material palette, including uncoloured concrete surfaces consistent with a minimalist architectural approach.
Construction and Phasing
Construction followed a phased development strategy. Building A was executed by Wandeegroup and completed in January 2012. Building B followed in April 2012, while Buildings C and D were completed in April and December 2014 respectively. This phased implementation enabled progressive realisation of the project while maintaining continuity in architectural intent and overall quality across all stages.
Architectural and Structural Character
The architectural composition is defined by indoor balconies and full-height glazing, facilitating natural light penetration and visual connectivity with the surrounding coastal environment. A notable aspect of the project is the integration of engineered structural solutions throughout the building. The application of cellular beam systems—with circular web openings—optimises structural depth, reduces material usage, and facilitates the efficient routing of building services across all levels while maintaining structural performance.
Architectural Approach
The development reflects a synthesis of modernist design principles and applied engineering strategies, emphasising structural clarity, functional planning, and material efficiency. The project demonstrates a consistent alignment between architectural concept and built outcome, contributing to the ongoing evolution of mid-scale residential architecture in Pattaya.
