Modern Thai design

Cathay Land, Inc., which has an enviable track record in the construction industry, has expressed optimism over the growth of the real estate in the country. The latest projections are for explosive and continuous growth, with property prices potentially doubling in the next three to five years.

Since the 1990s, the area south of Metro Manila has registered investments that made it the fastest-growing metropolis in the country today. More than 15 years later, Metro Sta. Rosa’s business and residential sectors are still booming. And one of the major contributors to its residential growth is South Forbes Golf City.

South Forbes is an all-in-one city that offers investors and families a winning combination of a champion location, sure array of attractions that appeal and cater to all the lifestyle needs of investors. This self-sustaining satellite city offers investors a strategic location: close to both the technology parks and top schools such as La Salle, St. Scho, and Don Bosco, and Brent International School. It will also have its own City Center, which will include a mall set amidst a landscaped garden and lagoon.

And after recently completing and selling out the Bali Mansions, South Forbes Golf City launched another unrivalled opportunity for investors who believe in sophistication and the allure of Thailand — Phuket Mansions.

Phuket Mansions is an inspired contemporary expression designed to complement the site’s unique natural environment. With the high level of quality that Cathay Land brings to each project, its vision of regionalism combined with the influences of modern techniques, is a state-of-the-art masterpiece that you’ll be proud to call home.

Simple and functional, the interiors are a true fusion of East & West. Large open terraces, expansive living areas, and the seamless spillover of indoor into outdoor spaces, reflect its modern-Asian design. Using quality materials and natural finishes, one can only experience harmonious living in its true form.

Recognizing this unique blend of accessibility and seclusion that is a modern reinterpretation of a traditional Thai style home, Phuket Mansions introduce the Taksin model mansion. Screaming functionality, boasting top of the line materials, and exquisite artisanship, the Taksin is designed to blend easily with its surroundings – opening up to nature, yet, providing uncompromised comfort and privacy.

Embracing the concept of creating interiors and exteriors to affect the mood, compliment the experience, and impact the senses, great attention has been paid to finer detail, blending age old design practices and modern technology.

The exterior hints of traditional Thai architecture with its tiled and tiered roof, wood trimmings and sandstone-lined walls. A large private balcony just above the garage is accessible through the master’s bedroom, where the couple can bask in the morning sun or partake of a romantic gourmet candle-lit dinner.

The colors that transform the traditional into contemporary and modern are evident upon entering the main door. The living room with solid amber and yellow hues exudes bliss and tranquility, which makes it a convivial space where the family can carelessly gather. The dining area accented in warm beige and traditional Thai weaving, allows a spick and span and modern stylized look.

Blending the best of Thai and contemporary design, the den in a variant shade of jade, is combined with a silk hanging that is akin to the silks that are popular in culture. Inviting and luxurious, the colors further add a level of serenity to the room. Also visible in traditional paintings often depicted as the color of water, green is soothing and calm, with hues changing with the season. Indeed, the den was designed as a space of respite in mind.

Finally, with warm wood tones that add to the idea of comfort while resting, the master’s bedroom can only be one’s sanctuary with rich earth hues that create an ambience for a perfectly peaceful rest after a long and tiring day. Providing an immediate sense of relaxation, it ensures a good night’s rest to the owners. On warm evenings, a quick dip in the candle-lit pool with wine can be the perfect scene beside the tranquil tropical garden before grabbing a good book and retiring for the day.
