In this issue

In this first edition of 2024, we embark on a design journey that embraces the lush world of tropical architecture for residences. This is where the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces blur, and nature becomes an integral part of our living environments. We feature several contemporary residential projects in Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore whose designs integrate verdant green pockets and trees. Beyond residences, we also visit MPavilion 10 in Melbourne, a unique structure conceived by Tadao Ando, Pritzker Prize winner and one of the world’s leading architects. The architectural masterpiece reflects Ando’s signature use of striking geometric interventions in nature and his precise use of concrete. Over in northern Thailand, the newly revamped Intercontinental Chiang Mai The Mae Ping boasts contemporary interiors that celebrate craftsmanship as well as pay homage to the Lanna heritage.
