Khun by Yoo98 WirelessWhat is your vision for Sansiri in the future?
I envision us to be above and beyond other property
developers because we go beyond just making sure
our residents are happy in the future. We always
get involved with art and design, and ensure that
world-class architects, interior designers and
artists work on our properties. It’s the experience
that money can’t buy, because these are the people
who are often too busy creating palaces around the
world, but thankfully, we are able to get them.
How do your Asian heritage and your work
experience in the UK influence your design
aesthetics?
Having a good address book and being well-
connected with some of the world’s top talents
means that I have access to bring a real wealth
of knowledge and expertise that adds value to
Sansiri’s projects and properties.
For the Sansiri Luxury Collection, you have
collaborated with some very famous international
designers like Gert Voorjans and Phillippe
Starck. How was it like collaborating with them?
Nothing good comes easy, these are people
whose time is very precious and they know what
they like. I think to be able to work with world-
class designers, you have to have complete trust
in what they do. If you’ve hired the best, trust and
believe in them, because that’s the only way you’ll
get the best out of them.
Why did you choose Phillippe Starck for the Khun by Yoo project?
In the ’80s and ’90s, a day wouldn’t go by without you hearing about
the many achievements of Phillippe Starck, he was already considered
something of a deity in the field of design in those days. So when we
decided to do this project, it was only fit to get a real global superstar
to do it. His designs just get stronger and stronger, and his finger is
always on the pulse of what modern urban living is all about.What makes this project so special?
The location is really important, and the great thing about this
property is it’s right in the heart of the most happening part of
