The Bang Sue Environmental Education and Conservation Center (EECC) project was developed on the northwest reservoir of Vachirabenjatas Park or the Railway Park’s (SUAN ROD FAI) boundary. The circulation path within the compound had been designed to maintain the existing main routes such as bicycle lanes, walkways, and jogging route, and connect to the Park’s circulation system.

The main building is designed as a 2-storey with an Underground Waste-Water Treatmentplant (WWTP) facility ( with 10x100x150 m. size). The building consists of two sides; a curvaceous waterfall-facade facing the park and an office-like side facing the Kampaeng Phet 2 Road and elevated express way.
