IDEO O2 launched the new vision of a healthier living lifestyle by offering the ultimate green space for the resident’s recreation and encouraging people to stay active. With the concept of O2=oxygen was implemented by adding outdoor gardens, maximize recreational spaces, preserved the existing trees and chose new plant materials that are native and tolerant making extensive natural to the resident.

Bangna is one of the fast-growing districts in the East of Bangkok. It used to be Bangkok’s outskirt, with factories and warehouses. In recent years, with the development of extend business district (EBD) Bangna has turned into the new destination for mega mixed-use, business and residential projects, around the Bangkok metropolitan area. Since then, with rapid urban sprawl and influx of population, Bangna is infamous for traffic, inland flooding, urban heat, and air pollution. Alongside these problems, Bangna also faces the issue of lacking city green spaces due to the increasing of land property values.

We aim to create options to minimize the buildings’ footprint by stacking up the units vertically and expanding it into the ultimate green space for the residents. And finally, the new master plan carries out the concept of O2 = Oxygen, that is to provide outdoor gardens and recreational spaces up to 60% of total area.

To upgrade people’s living quality, IDEO O2 launched the new vision of a healthier living lifestyle by offering the ultimate public green space for the residents’ recreation and encouraging people to stay active and stay in shape with a wide range of outdoor activities right at their home.

Concept of Zero-carbon residents is to create urban forest and bring back biodiversity. Carefully choosing right plants to mitigate heat and air pollution.

To solve the challenge of long and narrow property, the design team used water as a key landscape element, by interpreting the curve and dynamic form of water and integrated the design with plant materials, as a result tiding urban and natural context together. With the curve gesture,we creates the dynamic space that welcomes people to the site and will not let them feel the irregularity of the site’s property.

The design team carefully preserved the existing trees and chose new plant materials that are native and tolerant of high underground water and saltwater intrusion.

An ultimate green dimension

the track that has got a distance of 1 mile/loop is open for jogging and walking. The ground space provides various activities for individuals and families, including an Outdoor natural Play park, Futsal field, outdoor fitness center, picnic lawn, skateboard park and several sitting areas.

The design team concerned about the traffic control, they set up a schedule to do the activities in order to optimize the usage of the amenities for the user’s satisfaction. To further reduce traffic conflict, bikes are allowed to use the track from 1-7 pm on alternating days.

The unique three-layered of activities; underground, on the ground and above ground for residents to have a various dimension of activities.

Above ground activities feature an elevated bike and jogging trail. The project offers 0.5 mile of a certified Standard Extreme Bike Track that got approved to ensure safety.

Ozone Creek: open-shallow family pool

Underground activities are centered around swimming, There are three unique swimming pools with different atmospheres that are suitable for all ages and lifestyles.

Oxy Cascade: sensory relaxation pool with a waterfall and Aerial Lagoon: resort style welcome pool. Along the edge of the swimming pools.

the design follows the dynamic flow of the water gesture which then turns into seamless unique green pavilions that rise from the ground to the roof of the sitting area.

The well enriched layers of planting in the urban forest not only enhances the aesthetics giving a sense of wholeness to the residents, but also support the main concept of O2=oxygen.

IDEO O2 is a distinct innovative residential project that provides various pleasant facilities. Giving its residents a satisfying outdoor experience right at their doorstep, as they gaze at beautiful nature and take in fresh air.
