Mario Kleff® Long Span Systems
Construction innovation in Pattaya since 2005
Advantages of Long-Span Construction Design
While long-span structural systems are widely used internationally, Mario Kleff® Architects has refined and adapted these solutions to meet the specific climatic, economic, and spatial demands of the regional market. By demonstrating measurable performance benefits—such as reduced material usage, increased flexibility of space, and improved construction efficiency—the firm has played a key role in advancing the adoption of long-span design among developers.
Record-Breaking Structural Spans
In 2007, Mario Kleff achieved a significant engineering milestone with the design of a multi-storey building featuring a 41-meter clear span, one of the largest of its kind at the time. This accomplishment demonstrated advanced capabilities in structural analysis, load distribution, and the application of cellular beam technology.
The original structural concept, developed for the Club Royal Condominium complex, incorporated a 41-meter cellular beam spanning between two primary columns, enabling large column-free interior spaces.
Building on this foundation, the firm continued to expand its technical scope:
- 2023: Installation of 30-meter prestressed concrete girders at a luxury villa project in Pattaya,
- Late 2023: Announcement of planned 70-meter prestressed concrete beams for a residential development—representing a major step forward in long-span construction within the region.
Landmark Achievements in Structural Design
The firm’s portfolio includes several notable engineering accomplishments:
- Development of exceptionally long cellular beams
- Execution of large-scale steel box girders
- Realization of extended residential spans between structural supports
In condominium design, the firm has delivered spans of up to 25 meters, including the approx. 130-meter-tall “Mario Kleff The Touch®” tower. Additional projects such as Skypark and Parkside Shopping feature spans exceeding 30 meters, setting new regional benchmarks for structural efficiency and architectural openness.
