Porto Chino

Community mall with highly-acclaimed design and Thailand’s first Starbucks Drive-Thru

D-Land, a highly successful real estate firm based west of Bangkok, had become interested in diversifying their portfolio and supporting their other local residential projects by creating a shopping mall in the area.  The location was on Rama 2 Road, the main connection between Bangkok and South Thailand. 

Extensive research was undertaken to establish in-depth knowledge of the locals and people passing through the area on their way to other provinces.  Locals and passers-by wanted a high quality mall with a variety of food, including branded and local produce.  Contour answered these needs by creating a stunning mall with premium supermarket, Foodport local premium food court, McDonalds Drive-Thru and Starbucks Drive-Thru. 

The eye catching Starbucks Drive-Thru was the first in Thailand.  The Contour designed exterior was inspired by the fishing vessels in the area that were covered in barnacles with years of heavy use.  The design has been named as one of the most beautiful in the world.  The building process was also highly green-conscious and it received LEED certification to prove it.

Porto Chino is now a highly successful mall catering to the thousands of people passing by everyday.
