Khaoyai Private Residence

The Khao Yai Residence, crafted by dwp, serves as a harmonious amalgamation of natural elements and luxurious aesthetics. Envisioned by renowned architect WARchitect, landscape creators Techtonix, and an adept lighting designer, this vacation home is a majestic creation in Nakorn Ratchasima province and Khao Yai city, which fittingly translates to “a big mountain.”

Inspired by the homeowner’s desire for a weekend retreat, the design concept revolves around the interpretation of “Khao Yai.” The unique character of this project stems from its commitment to encapsulate the essence of the forest, water, and stone—three pivotal elements derived from the surroundings.

Sprawling across an expansive area, this vacation home boasts two master bedrooms, three guest rooms, nine bathrooms, two living rooms, a gym, a spa, a playroom, two swimming pools, and four gardens. Every feature of this residence is a testament to unparalleled luxury, thoughtfully designed to maximize comfort and enjoyment.

Strategically designed lighting further accentuates the “Khao Yai” theme. During the day, light filters in, creating shadows akin to leaves on the forest floor, and illuminating furniture. At night, the dimmed lighting sets a serene mood, allowing residents to feel the transition between day and night.

The Aspen Tree Residences

The Aspen Residences form the aged care component of the world-class mixed use development, Forestia, in the Bangna Area of Bangkok. The entire development is built around the age-old principle of intergenerational living in a strong community, surrounded by nature.The hospital and residences are built on the traditional ideal of ‘aging in place’, so residents do not need to move away from their homes and families.

Aspen Residences was designed by dwp to be a wide ranging, community-centric, full-care facility for elderly with around the clock care. More like a hotel or luxury condominium, a grand sense of arrival greets residents and visitors alike. The interior design theme for the Aspen community is luxurious home-comfort. To foster a sense of well being and community there are large views so nature and natural light can flow in. The natural colour palette was inspired by different flowers on every floor.

ibis Styles Bangkok Silom

The new hotel in Bangkok’s business district, just a stone’s throw away from the famous Lumpini Park, will definitely be a popular choice for all types of travellers and the exciting F+B offering is sure to draw in the local crowd.

The area is known to attract a more younger and ‘hip’ crowd therefore dwp explored more funky thai design concepts. ‘Thai Style festival’ was the overall driving inspiration for the property and each area of the hotel represents different Thai elements through design, colour and patterns. The property represents a journey through Thai culture with each area portraying a different experience and story.

Colour is an important part of Thai culture and is used to represent and respect different beliefs. Thai people use auspicious colours in their decoration for prosperity, dpw integrated this concept into the design, particularly the lobby area displaying the concept of ‘colourful culture’. The use of beautiful timber walls is a perfect contrast to the colours and are crafted with Thai patterns and details to create an impactful first impression.

Courtyard by Marriott North Pattaya

dwp has been engaged to design Courtyard by Marriott North Pattaya Hotel. The new state of the art lobby, the patterns of the public areas derive from the gentle, natural patterns that occur on the sea and the beach.

Combinations of mid-tone materials, with limited accent colors that complement these natural tones, create a calm palette. The opalescent sheen of the inside of an abalone shell is the inspiration for a light-toned banquet room and pre-function. Due to the limited size and connection of natural light, this inspiration results in a palette that uses tone-on-tone for upper surfaces, contrasted by the organic patterns in the carpet. A slightly deeper shift in tone from the public area color palette creates a rich environment. Clean lines and driftwood-color furniture create a calm palette under the bright Pattaya sky for the pool area, and pool bar. A simple wood-pattern frame defines the bar and primary seating area as a cabana, adjacent to seating under parasols

The aesthetic is modern contemporary with art feature; freeform light sculture, sand dune art pattern, mosaic art wall. These combination create the vibrate atmosphere.

With the comfort of easy transportation and proximity to a shopping mall, this property features 625 keys, two buildings with 32 storeys, and a public alley that smoothly traverses from Rama I road to Phetchaburi road, promising guests a luxurious blend of convenience, luxury, and cultural experience in one of the city’s prime locations.

The design and functionality of the project manifest contemporary aesthetics, durability, and easy maintenance, in alignment with Chatrium’s brand standards. The design narrative is anchored in the concept of “Thai Splendid”, a fusion of Thai culture and modern architectural style. The rich warm, gold tones of the main lobby and reception area, and the handcrafted artwork wall serve as a welcoming Thai greeting to the guests. This meticulous attention to detail extends to the smallest elements, reinforcing the project’s commitment to a holistic design approach.

The creative use of Thai motifs in a modern style, innovative space usage, and the integration of information technology, all testify to the project’s commitment to deliver an attractive and sustainable hotel service.

Be Well Spa, Movenpick BDMS Wellness Resort

The design concept for BDMS Wellness Resort Bangkok is “The journey to Rebalance + Reconnect”. The design takes inspiration from Park Nai Lert, a city forest well-known for its large trees, embodying a peaceful atmosphere surrounded by nature. Traditional Thai healing philosophy that sees the four elements as the foundation of life is also referenced to make the space more suitable for the healing and treatment process.

Materials are selected with a focus on durability and aesthetics. A variety of materials are used, including a natural colour veneer to create a warm and comfortable environment, contrasting with textured wall coverings for a more luxurious feel.

The design adheres to the Sustainable Design concept by utilising LEED-certified, non-VOCs, and durable materials for long-term usage. The design also takes into consideration the natural environment of the location, full of old trees, and works closely with an engineer and landscape team to maximise the use of natural resources.

KBank Private Banking Office

In a big move for the corporate banking sector, KBank asked dwp to design a very high-end, by invitation only, banking experience for their high net worth clients focused on customer service. A warm opulent welcome is created right from the lift lobby through to the concierge where statuesque French doors open into the comfortable and luxurious customer lounge. Although KBank’s branding colour is usually green, this is the only KBank product to allow a colour scheme of taupe, browns and creams which offer a lush, rich environment.

Named after locations relating to KBank history, separate, private meeting rooms are each designed with a specific, unique character. The designs were made to offer different experiences depending on the character of the customer. Although the design story for each room is expressed differently, each is a tale of about wealth with custom carpets, colours, patterns, textures and finishes. The office is located on a very high floor in a prime location so the layout was planned to maximise natural light throughout and allow the stunning views inside.

Beyond design, dwp pushed KBank – a traditional company – towards a modern office concept with a bar, a long countertop with power outlets for hot-desking and a café with a view. The result is an extremely functional and flexible office design.
