Baan Yamu Phuket voted Best Architecture development in Thailand

Online, April 19, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Baan Yamu - a low-density mixed-unit development on Phuket's east coast - will be representing Thailand real estate at the global International Property Awards in November after triumphing in the Asia-Pacific stage of the contest.
The Asia Pacific Residental Property Awards, in association with Bloomberg Television, presented Baan Yamu Phase II with its Best Architecture (Mixed Units) Thailand award at a high-profile gala event at Hong Kong's Langham Hotel on 16 April.
Baan Yamu - also 'Highly Commended' in the competition's Best Development Thailand category - was singled out for its spacious, eco-friendly design from Martin Palleros of Tierra Design.
Martin Palleros, an Argentine architect behind several high-profile projects in Singapore and across the region, has distinguished Baan Yamu with his trademark integration of internal areas with generous outside spaces such as terraces, gardens and pools.
Baan Yamu's broad spectrum of units - ranging from split-level condos to bespoke villas in extensive grounds - features a host of luxury elements such as double-height ceilings, outsize bathrooms, private pools, recessed baths and shaded terraces.
Residents share spectacular views across the paradise islands of the Phang Nga Bay and enjoy facilities including an Olympic-length swimming pool and a branch of the well-known Oriental Spoon restaurant.
In tune with its sophisticated architecture, Baan Yamu offers an outstanding location on Phuket's exclusive Yamu peninsula with sparkling sea on both sides.
For Cyrille Hareux of Company Vauban, a Bangkok-based real estate agency, the award confirms the exceptional overall appeal of the Baan Yamu lifestyle.
'The award reflects the inspired way Martin Palleros has realised the potential of a spectacular natural setting ,' he says.
'The abundance of space and greenery perfectly matches the tastes of cultured residents, who are drawn to the tranquillity and unspoilt beauty of Phuket's east coast.'
In addition, Baan Yamu combines its outstanding facilities with a full range of services from leading Phuket hotel management company Twinpalms, he adds.
