| UPDATE : 4 May 2010 | |||
Dreary partitions and uninsworkplapiring office furniture can create a negative effect in a workplace, which can then lead to a reduction in productivity. Located on the corner of Soi Thonglor 20, the Third Place has avoided such ergonomic pitfalls, providing ‘busy ants’ with a comfortable and highly functional working environment. The Third Place is a lifestyle building, which offers a range of activities suitable for the requirements of city residents. The three-story structure has a modern design, predominantly featuring steel and glass. Sculptures around the building’s entrance and throughout the site combine effectively with the steel construction. The wooden flooring and natural shade afforded by nearby trees ensure that visitors are welcomed with a homely ambiance. A practical base The Third Place Club is the center’s principal attraction, providing its most remarkable feature. Based on the top floor, the club boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as colorful, well-designed furniture and furnishings, providing a range of options in terms of working space and meeting places. A long, stylish black table located towards one side of the room can accommodate a group of up to eight and is ideal for a format meeting, or just as a place to get to work on a notebook in a relaxing ambiance. A white version of the same kind of table, located almost in the center of the room, is slightly more open and therefore not as private. The choice of location will be determined by the specific needs of the organizer. Sit back and enjoy In another corner are some sofa sets, as well as a cocktail table and a wall-mounted TV. The volume is kept low, though, so don’t worry about any excessive noise. The sofas make this area an ideal spot for an informal group meeting.
In order that it also functions reliably as an office, the club offers all the standard office facilities, including a copier, a fax machine and a printer. The ‘homely’ aspect of the club includes a constant supply of appetizers, drinks and ice cream throughout the day. And if you wish to be entertained, there are some computers specially set up for your audio or video-related requirements.
