The EM District consists of more than 10 venues and halls, such as The Quartier Hall, Parc Quartier, Quartier Avenue and Emporium Gallery, ranging in size from 200 to 2,000 sqm. The district contains more than 1,000 world-class Thai and international brands, many of which are making their debut in Thailand.
The buildings alter the pure shape of the traditional spiral; floor plates are shifted so they do not align with the floors above. These subtle imperfections provide outdoor terraces for the visitors, blurring the boundary between inside and out.
