Villas in the Trees
Thailand's enchanted Keemala Resort — architecture hidden in the woodlands
Keemala Resort on Thailand's mountainous island of Phuket features four different villa styles, pods, and pool houses by Bangkok-based Space Architects, with interior design by Pisud Design Company.
Overlooking and the Andaman Sea, Keemala harnesses the history of fictitious ancient Phuket settlers and incorporates the story of four different clans within the resort. The architecture of the four different villa types reflects the skills and way of life of each of the groups. Keemala and its grounds are designed as an expansion of the surrounding landscape, making use of natural features such as mature trees, streams and waterfalls and integrating these into the overall design.
