A person of exquisite looks normally has the same facial features as the rest of us lesser mortals, but it is the way that those features are put together that separates beauty from the mundane. That certainly is the case with Baan Champaka, a new development of luxury homes on Sukhumvit Sois 31 & 38 in Bangkok's central business district. |
|||||||||||||||||
The architects of this exclusive community have garnered the best features of Asian residential design and molded them into a look that is truly unique, beautiful and functional. The homes blend into the landscape flawlessly, but the uniqueness of Baan Champaka will be a magnet for discerning buyers. As Bangkok has grown in the past twenty years, prime real estate has shrunk accordingly. This is particularly true of the area along inner Sukhumvit Road. Many Executives and CEO's are of the opinion that a three-hour or more daily commute is unacceptable. But that is often the price one pays if one wants to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle complete with comfort, privacy, space and security. These qualities are abundant in Baan Champaka, which make it one of the most coveted addresses in Bangkok.
Even though you are only a heartbeat away from the activities of Sukhumvit Road, you leave that entire hubbub behind as you enter the walled and gated community. It is hard to imagine that you are still in the middle of the city. Your first impression is one of quality, refinement and taste. Lush flora, lotus ponds and bubbling fountains add to the sense of serenity and security. Attention to detail is apparent in ever aspect of Baan Champaka. The Lanna style roofs are fabricated with terra cotta tiles. Natural woods are used on all the windows and exterior doors. The 3. 2-metre ceilings give you an added sense of spaciousness as you pass through the main entry. The climate control system is fully ducted in the ceiling so that no obtrusive air conditioners detract from the lines of the high ceilings. Each estate offers 567 square metres of living space that includes the home, courtyard and a 9 x 3- metre swimming pool that is lined with Balinese tiles.
All the homes include five well-appointed bedrooms, five bathrooms plus one guest bathroom. The executive who prefers to complete some of his work in the privacy of his home will find the study especially useful. Balconies and verandas on each level complement the exterior. Ample parking for four cars is standard with each home. Aspiring chefs will particularly appreciate the full European-style kitchen that is completely separate from the Thai kitchen. All kitchen and bathroom fixtures are of European quality. The architects cleverly designed each bathroom to overlook one of the numerous garden areas. Maid quarters are standard with each residence. Baan Champaka is a partnership between the developer, Spirit of Asia Company Ltd. and project owner, Phannita Property Ltd. The major shareholder of Spirit of Asia and Phannita Property Ltd. is Asian Global Investment Ltd. , a Hong Kong property developer.
Mr. Kritdi Vibulprapan of Spirit of Asia Company led the design team for Baan Champaka. He collaborated with the internationally renowned Australian architectural firm of Grounds Kent, who designed the Regent Bali and Mr. Chulathat Kitibutr, who designed the Regent of Chang Mai. Selling Agent for Baan Champaka is Jones Lang LaSalle. Mr. Spencer Roberts, Country Head of Jones Lang LaSalle had this to say about the Sukhumvit 31 & 38 areas: "With limited development sites available on inner Sukhumvit Road, particularly in such prime locations as Sukhumvit Soi 31 and 38, the Baan Champaka projects are the most exciting new housing developments in Bangkok. Whilst residential accommodation available for sale in this area comprises condominiums and a limited number of old houses, the Baan Champaka projects offer totally new types of residential products. We see a very high potential in the two projects and are confident that interest will be strong, from not only end-users, but also investors. " For more information about Baan Champaka, contact Mr. Robert Collins at Jones Lang LaSalle Tel: +66(0)2 2679 6500. Email: robert. collins@ap. joneslanglasalle. com. Jones Lang LaSalle is the world's leading real estate services and management firm, operating across more than 100 markets on five continents. Baan Champaka is scheduled for completion in November 2003. Pricing for these extraordinary homes is set at 32 million Baht. The developers characterize Baan Champaka as "Rare Privacy…For the Privileged Few. " Given the scarcity of prime vacant land adjacent to the inner Sukhumvit corridor, the claim is well made |
