Size: 5,600 m²; 55 rooms

This 5 star boutique hotel, part of Orient Express, is located on a narrow strip of land stretched along the river of Siem Reap, 6 kilometers far from the temples of Angkor.

Amansara Resort

Location: Siem Reap - Cambodia

Service: Project Management

Facility: 5 star Resort

Size: 4,800 m²; 24 suites

Amansara, formerly the guest villa of King Norodom Sihanouk, has been refurbished as an intimately exclusive 24-suite resort for Amanresorts. The project consisted of 2 phases: Phase 1 was to refurbish the existing villas and converse into a 12-room resort including a restaurant and a library. The construction period lasted 10 months, including demolition with the soft opening taking place 6 and half months into the construction period.

Victoria Angkor Hotel

Location: Siem Reap - Cambodia

Service: Architecture, ID & ID Project Management

Facility: 5 star Hotel

Size: 12,400 m2; 130 rooms

Located in the very heart of the town, Victoria Angkor Hotel is one of the most famous hotels of Siem Reap, the gate to Angkor temples. Its architecture combines lime rendered walls and verandas inherited from the French colonial style with timber columns, balustrades, and pitched roofs typical of Cambodian construction.

The main façade overlooking the central park of Siem Reap with the other rooms is arranged around a lush internal garden and swimming pool.

Siem Reap International Airport

Location: Siem Reap - Cambodia

Service: Architecture, Assistance to Project Management

Facility: Airport Passenger Terminal

Size: 12,000 m2

The airport's long sweeping elevations and galleries plays with its Angkorean heritage. The playful roofs have anchorage in more recent traditional Khmer architecture.

A large central garden and smaller internal gardens portray friendliness, an openness rarely seen in modern airports due to today's strict security regulations. A glistering wall of glass blocks turns into a shadow theater while passengers await their luggage. Smooth, pre-cast concrete panels contrast with raw dark painted steel profiles and columns. The vast 13 meters to ceiling in a one storey building suddenly compresses under a series of lower ceilings, an animation leading the action forward.

Modern interpretations of ancient gates are vivid and ever present elements. Huge, punched window openings provide seating possibilities as well as relaxing views to water features and lush greenery.
