Luxury meets industrial chic in this one-of-a-kind chocolate factory loft
The scent of rich, decadent chocolate may have faded, but the sweetness lingers in the air at the site of Bangkok’s most extraordinary loft apartment. This unique, third-floor loft was once a bustling chocolate factory. But now, thanks to the impeccable vision of Regroup Architecture, it has been transformed into a luxurious 3+ bedroom and 4 bathroom residence. Nestled in the pulsating heart of Phrom Pong, this one-of-a-kind space attracts those who crave an exclusive sanctuary that seamlessly fuses history, art, and opulent living.
A private sanctuary in the heart of the city
Upon entering the building, you are immediately struck by the exclusivity and privacy that envelops the exceptional loft. The entire 3rd floor is dedicated to a single unit, with access via an elevator, restricted to the authorised owner through a fingerprint scanner, leading you to your personal lobby and entrance corridor. A hidden door, like secret passages in grand castles, lies behind the sliding storage cabinet doors. It reveals a discreet passage to the parking garage.
Adjacent to the elevator, a separate detached studio room with a full bathroom presents versatile possibilities. You can turn it into anything you want, from a refined guest room to a game room for entertainment to a calming yoga space or even a reserved maid’s quarters.
Spacious living with a touch of industrial chic
The main entrance door greets you with a sculptural exposed fire hose cabinet and integrated sitting bench. Beyond, the apartment unfolds into a versatile and spacious world.
The heart of this loft is undeniably the living room. Here, soaring ceilings reach up to 5 metres, accentuated by exposed concrete beams. Sliding windows open up to a balcony, merging indoor and outdoor living effortlessly. The open kitchen features wooden worktops and a generous island, blending form and function with grace.
Above the kitchen, the loft’s open mezzanine floor creates a multifunctional space. It’s perfect for a home office or an additional bedroom with full-height glass walls. The clever steel structure leaves the floor below uninterrupted. And at the foot of the mezzanine stairs, a cosy reading snug and towering 5-metre-tall library wall invite you to lose yourself in your favourite novel. The library even holds a hidden door leading to an additional full bathroom for added intrigue.
At the opposite end of the apartment, you’ll find the main bedroom, which offers a stunning sanctuary for rest and relaxation. The bed takes centre stage, facing a window complete with a cosy daybed sofa and a stylish vanity desk. And to make sure no outside noise enters, the bedroom window features a 3 cm thick soundproof glass panel.
Adding to the grandeur of the main bedroom, a connecting door leads to an adjoining room that you can transform into an expansive walk-in closet – a fashionista’s dream come true. The ensuite bathroom is separated by a translucent glass block wall and a large wooden sliding door. It boasts a shower, bathtub fit for pampering, double sinks, and a toilet in a separate compartment.
Modern comforts with a touch of technology
The masterful blend of industrial charm and luxurious living extends to the loft’s material finishes and advanced smart home system.

A visual allure from the outside

The upper-floor façade underwent a remarkable transformation. A fresh coat of warm grey paint really breathes new life into the exterior.
They also carefully applied wooden cladding to the previously plain canopy roof. This adds a touch of natural warmth and visual appeal. Furthermore, they introduced a thoughtfully designed layer of slats between the second and third floors. These slats serve as both a privacy filter and a charming element that shields the loft from the bustling street below. Adding to the building’s allure, Regroup Architecture also strategically installed a vertical dark red fabric blinds. They shield the apartments from the morning sun.
