Contemporary Thai architecture need not be confined in a tropical beach destination. In fact, this type of architecture can blend effortlessly in an urban setting.
Royal Palm Residences is set to emerge as a Thai tropical resort village where wellness is valued along with modern-day requirements for an idyllic urban address.
Developed by DMCI Homes, this distinct theme will stand out as a fresh and extraordinary residential community within Township Central, DMCI Homes’ residential enclave in Taguig City.
“Architecture is influenced by way of life,” says Renz S. Raule, project development manager of DMCI Homes. “If meditation is to Zen and tropical resort is to Bali, then health and wellness are terms to associate with the Thais. With this concept, we then associated the design intent with distinctively Thai elements such as the traditional Thai house and its qualities, which served as central architectural inspiration for the Royal Palm Residences.”
Raule also identified characteristics of a classic Thai-inspired establishment. He referred to the slope of the gable roof and interesting roof elements as distinctively Thai in origin.
Doors and windows characterized by carved ornamental wood panels also help with ventilation.
“For the interiors, there are no suspended ceiling panels. These reduce roof load and give a feeling of openness. This is further enhanced by the use of low furniture. In terms of landscape, Thais use floral and natural arrangements. There is a predominance of ceramic vats containing fish and lilies in addition to potted plants. Bird cages are kept close by as well as wind chimes,” Raule adds.
All these features are combined with modern conveniences like Wi-Fi access at the Grand Clubhouse, electrified security fence, and professional property management services .
Royal Palm Residences offers eight mid-rise and two high-rise buildings whose names convey further allusions to Thailand — Karon, Kata, Phuket, Yanoi, Nui, Pansea, Railay, Samui, Kamala, and Rawai — derived from its famous beaches and island resort destinations.
