The architect Mario Kleff from Pattaya installed a cellular beam of 48 meter between two columns to support a heavy concrete floor with a long span. The cellular beam larger than 16 meters is usually used to support light roofs, not post-tensioned concrete floors. The installation took place in 2021 in a villa building in the Majestic Residence on Phra Tamnak Hill.

The villa has a usable space of 2,500 m2, 550 m2 define the basement. The building is built with high-strength steel mixtures and ultra-high-strength marine concrete for columns and floors. Such specifications are usually used for the construction of modern bridges and skyscrapers near the ocean.

The villa was designed, including civil engineering by the architect Mario Kleff based in Pattaya and his assistant architect Waraporn Na-Lampang.

Since Mario Kleff is not a licensed architect in Thailand, leading engineers such as Dr. Songkiat Matupayont, Prapat Boonlualoah and Sadudee Boonlualoah joined the project to review the design and to agree on the construction process.
