Beautiful office

Nichiha:I understand that this office building is built using LGS framing construction, which is rare in Thailand. Please let me know if there are any special considerations due to LGS framing construction.
Ans: The requirement for absolute precision and speed of construction is the key for consideration. All the interior furniture are prefabricated offsite and wants it to fit well to the site.

Nichiha:I understand that there are several options for the exterior walls with the LGS framing construction, not only Nichiha's exterior wall materials. What kind of exterior wall materials did you initially consider?
Ans: We were considering aluminum composite panels, which would create a beautiful, flat appearance.

Nichiha: What was the deciding factor that ultimately led you to choose our exterior wall materials?
Ans: The durability of the fiber cement panel and the moisture protection from proper rainscreen system. The Nichiha system provided by LGS also offer color matching flashings with powder coat color.

Dirt is washed off by rain Rainwater flows under the adhered dirt, washing it off.

Nichiha: One of the positive aspects of Nichiha's exterior wall materials is their "diverse designs," and in fact, we often have clients use combinations of several colors and patterns. This office building has an all-white finish that smacks of cleanliness, allowing the greenery of the garden to stand out. What was your aim in terms of the design?
Ans: Lam Luk Ka Road, which runs from the center of Bangkok to the suburbs, is a quiet and elegant street leading to a world-famous golf course, so we wanted an exterior design that would look clean and modern.

Nichiha: We believe that both the LGS framing constructure and Nichiha's exterior wall materials were cutting-edge choices in Thailand, but what was the owner's reaction?
Ans: The owner is happy about the outcome of the final product. The LGS framing make for straight and plumb wall, which in turn create abusolute beautiful finish in the interior and exterior facade.

Nichiha: Nichiha's exterior wall materials are installed with clips. This may be an unfamiliar method of installation, but what your impression when you saw that construction site in progress?
Ans: It goes up very fast and almost impossible to screw up. The finishing detail is also well thought of in term of water protection and durability.

Nichiha: How was the owner's reaction to the appearance of this office building after construction?
