BLOCK28X BUILDING
From Old Shophouses in the City Center to a Creative Office Building for the New Generation of Startups, Featuring Eye-Catching Designs and Colors
A vacant site that was once home to a police station has been transformed into an office building with a simple architectural form, distinctive details, and vibrant colors. Its modern design is tailored to the needs of the younger generation. The building also incorporates various functions that support the working styles of its users, including co-working spaces, cafés, and restaurants.
As the building was designed for a service life of 10–15 years, serving as an interim use of the site while awaiting future development, its construction methods, architectural form, and materials needed to allow for easy dismantling while generating as little waste as possible.
One of the materials selected by the architect was structural H-BEAM steel from SYS, used for the connecting bridge between the two buildings and the roof structure. The use of H-BEAM structural steel effectively met the requirements of both the architect and the contractor.
From the architect's perspective, H-BEAM steel made the design process easier while providing a slim and lightweight appearance, creating open and airy spaces without a bulky or enclosed feeling. It also provided the structural strength needed for designs involving long spans or extensive cantilevers.
From the contractor's perspective, H-BEAM steel was selected with steel members cut to the lengths specified in the construction drawings. Every stage of the anti-rust coating process was also carried out to established standards by the Steel Solution by SYS team. This ensured that every steel member was ready for welding and assembly on-site, helping to accelerate the construction process.
With SYS H-BEAM structural steel meeting these diverse requirements, the construction of BLOCK28X proceeded smoothly, reducing the complexity of on-site operations and enabling the building to be ready for use by the younger generation in just eight months.

“S.A.F. Factory” – A Steel Structure Factory Built with Quality in Mind, from the Building Structure to the Products
S.A.F. Special Steel Public Company Limited (S.A.F.), a leading distributor of special-grade steel and provider of vacuum heat treatment services, has initiated the construction of its third manufacturing facility to accommodate increasing production capacity driven by the growth of Thailand’s domestic metallurgical industry.
For this project, S.A.F. chose a steel structure building and entrusted Steel Solution by SYS to deliver a comprehensive solution that meets its key requirements:
✅ Fast Construction: Rapid and efficient construction, with the steel structure installation completed in just 15 days!
✅ Modern and Aesthetic Design: The use of Cellular Beams not only helps reduce construction costs but also creates a spacious, open, and visually appealing roof structure.
✅ High Standards and Safety: Construction carried out by experienced professionals, ensuring high-quality workmanship and compliance with safety standards.
✅ Long Service Life and Investment Value: A durable steel structure designed for long-term use, providing excellent value for investment.
✅ Reduced Environmental Impact: A construction approach that helps minimize environmental impact.
Steel Solution by SYS provided comprehensive services throughout the project, from structural design, cutting, welding, assembly, and factory painting to on-site installation.
With this integrated approach, the construction process was carried out smoothly and efficiently, enabling the project to be completed on schedule.

Get to know sustainable building certifications that reaffirm the environmental friendliness of buildings globally
When talking about sustainable building rating tools, what are those you’ll be thinking of? The very first ones would be USGBC’s LEEDs or TREEs of the Thai Green Building Institute. Complying with these criteria is to domestically and internationally guarantee that this specific building possesses recognized and standardized environmental features, and generate further positive results, […]
New house designs recommended when aging in place
Thailand has become a completely aging society since 2021, meaning the seniors (60 years and over) are occupying 20% of the total population. Additionally, the National Statistical Office also predicted that, by 2031, Thailand will become a completely aging society. What’s brought to us today by this shift? Apart from changing routines and eating […]
Green structural steel to enhance eco-engineering and respond to environmental needs
One of the ongoing global trends is nothing but the environment, which has captured attention more and more each day. As we can see, this becomes a focused topic of several industries including those of materials and construction where more environmentally-friendly materials are adopted. Especially, structural steel, from its production to demolition, needs to less affect the environment to constitute eco-friendly buildings that resonate with the trend and environmental goals of project owners.
How can steel structure buildings be Earth-friendly?
It would be fantastic if the structure we choose to utilize to construct the building could be ecologically friendly in addition to being robust and durable, as many structures have adapted and altered to make the materials more environmentally friendly both domestically and worldwide. In addition to the users who will benefit from the material […]
