With its sprawling size, prime location and stellar views of the city skyline, this penthouse, perched atop the St Regis Hotel in Bangkok, already had the qualities of a dream abode. When this client was seeking a studio to design his new home, he was determined to find a firm whose approach would match the majesty of the property.
His search was thorough indeed: after meeting several top design studios in Thailand, he looked further afield to Singapore where the work of award-winning firm Design Intervention caught his eye. He then flew principal Nikki Hunt over to Thailand to view the property. “I understood what he was hoping for and so he appointed us,” she quipped.
“The client brief was to have a totally unique and bespoke home,” continues Hunt. “He didn’t want to walk in and see items that he had seen in other homes, so much of what we included was specially designed for him.” The multidisciplinary studio is no stranger to bespoke requests—in fact, it is Design Intervention’s modus operandi. “We craft each and every project to reflect the loves and life of the homeowner, and so our projects are all personalised,” says Hunt.
