Project monitoring

Based on an exterior concept by Denniston and interior by Philippe Starck, Chiara Patrassi and Alexandra Bernaudin oversaw this major project for 2 years. On a cape on the island of Phuket, this hotel complex includes an 80-room hotel, 9 villas, a club with its small villas and a SPA. In the hotel itself, each public space is treated in a glass box placed on a set of pools, each box housing a different universe: the library, the chocolate room, the private kitchen, the wine room and cellar, the boutique, the cigar room and the restaurant open onto a garden and a deck with a 100m long swimming pool on 3 levels. Each villa is served by 3 small villas for guests.
