The Wave Hotel and Condominium is an unbuilt mixed-use development proposed for the Bang Saray area of Chon Buri Province. The project was designed by Mario Kleff and planned by Bang Saray Development Co., Ltd., with John Sheehan acting as developer.
Architectural Concept and Configuration
The scheme was designed as a dual-building complex comprising two eight-storey volumes arranged in a V-shaped configuration. This arrangement addressed building orientation, views, and natural ventilation. The programme combined residential condominium units with hotel accommodation within a mixed-use development framework.
Materiality and Design Expression
The architectural language incorporates a contemporary formal approach with a restrained material palette. Façade elements include reflective glazing at balcony levels and a two-tone granite cladding system. The design also includes swimming pools, a pool bar, and glass-enclosed elevator cores.
An aluminium screening element is positioned between the two building volumes to conceal mechanical equipment, including air-conditioning units, while contributing to façade organisation and reducing noise transmission.
Development Status
The project progressed through design development and approval stages, with construction documentation prepared and building permits obtained. The development was not realised.
Project Context
The Wave represents a mixed-use development proposal combining residential and hospitality functions within a single scheme. The project reflects the integration of building services, façade systems, and spatial configuration within a coordinated design approach.
