I have not blogged about this project before, however it is one that we have been working on for over a year, now. I enjoy all of our design and construction projects, but this one has been particularly thrilling to have been a part of so far. "Amoon on the Mekong" will be a luxury guest house in an idyllic setting amongst 13 Rai (5 Acres) of mature trees on the banks of the Mekong River, backed by the rolling hills of Sangkhom and enjoying wonderful views across the river to Laos.
When we were first approached, the design project was well underway. Our client had already been working with an architect in Australia for a number of years developing an architectural concept. This concept has remained largely unchanged, so I can not take credit for all of the architectural design, however we have worked with the client to make tweaks and alterations to achieve a final design. We also carried out all of the necessary structural analysis, electrical and plumbing engineering work to produce all of the necessary construction drawings and documentation.
We are still working with the client to look at additional potential refinements to the final design. The construction phase of the project is due for completion before December 2012.
