A higher design at Aqualina Samui

As Koh Samui becomes an ever more sophisticated destination for property buyers, new design concepts are beginning to emerge that match and even exceed the progressive ideas on display in more established destinations like Phuket and Bali. Aqualina Samui is one such project, and will exemplify an almost futuristic approach to design with function emphasized over form and special features such as grass-planted roofs and ultra-spacious living areas. With Gary Fell´s GFAB team as master planners on the project, it comes as no surprise that the designs challenge traditional living concepts in favour of more energy efficient, practical spaces. A seamless spill over from architecture to nature breaks down the definitions of interior and exterior, and a considered use of glazing invites the surrounding views inside.
