"Small details that create a great experience"

The design thinking behind the 12 villas project in Koh Samui was built around

several main principles: a unique combination of nature, luxury and privacy, while

maintaining a modern and clean approach to design.

Creating a sense of harmony with nature, modern simplicity and functional design

Koh Samui, especially in the Lamai area, is a lush natural place with spectacular

tropical landscapes. Therefore, the first goal of the project was to create villas that

blend harmoniously with the environment, by using natural materials such as wood

and stone in the exterior design, along with large windows that allow the view to

enter the interior. The connection to the natural landscape is also expressed in the

planning of private swimming pools with direct access from the residential areas.


Each villa in the project was designed in clean and elegant lines, combining

modernization and functionality. The use of gray, light wood and black tones

creates a sense of luxury without sacrificing simplicity and design cleanliness. The

interior is carefully designed to illustrate to the customer with luxurious materials

such as marble and soft textiles, which give each space a sense of calm and

elegance.


The villas have been designed to meet the needs of investors and families wishing

to live in the Lamai area. Each unit includes several spacious bedrooms, luxury

suites, and wide public spaces that can be used for both recreation and investment

in short/long-term vacation rentals. The functional design emphasizes flexibility,

which allows customization to diverse needs, while maintaining a classic and

inviting design.


Triangle roofs – inspired by Thai tradition

One of the most striking elements of the 12-villa project is the triangular roof, which

was inspired by the traditional Thai pagoda. The design of these roofs represents

respect for the local tradition and expresses the combination of rich Thai

architecture and modern and minimalist design.

The Thai Pagoda, known for its sloping and rounded roof structure, is a direct

source of inspiration for the design of the triangle roof in the project. While

traditional pagodas tend to be detailed and richly decorated, this project adopted

the principle of clear and clean lines, which give a sense of height, airiness and

elegance. This design allows each villa to connect to the natural landscape, with an

emphasis on open spaces that bring nature into the home.


Combining local aesthetics with modern functionality.

The choice of the triangular roof not only adds an aesthetic touch that integrates

the local culture, but is also intended to provide a functional solution for natural

shading and protection from tropical weather conditions. This combination creates

a durable and pleasant residential structure, which maintains contemporary design

lines while maintaining a clear local identity.

The project represents a perfect combination of luxury architectural design and

functionality, and the combination with the tropical surroundings of Koh Samui.

Each villa in the project has been designed to provide investors and families with

the ultimate experience of living on a luxury tropical island, with maximum comfort

and access to modern amenities and attention to detail that makes it stand out
