A Thai real estate developer has built four asymmetrical football pitches in Khlong Toei, a densely populated area of Bangkok.

The developer has provided locals with an opportunity to play football by creating pitches in places you wouldn’t think was possible.

The advertising agency, CJ Worx, brought in by developer AP Thailand to run the Unusual Football Field project, said Khlong Toei had ‘numerous asymmetrical spaces’ scattered around.

The creators of the project said the concept was to change irregularly-shaped areas into football pitches.

The pitches, surrounded by high and low-rise apartments with grey rooftops, are painted brick-red with grey markings.

The agency are hoping that other communities follow suit and start thinking outside the box to allow the extra space to be used to its full effect.

‘We hope that other communities will adapt this idea to change their own irregular space,’ the agency said.

‘This unusual football field has proven that designing outside boundaries can help foster creativity used to develop these useful spaces.’

On one side, one of the pitches curves around a no longer used shipping container, while it curves around a building on the other.
