Banyan Tree Residences Creston Hill’s villas and condominiums are woven through the natural terrain of the valley and lake. The resulting grassland spaces between buildings are turned into courtyards or retained as forest landscape to allow habitants to enjoy the undulating terrain. The essence of Banyan Tree Residences Creston Hill is assembled by the use of natural wood and steel to craft a contemporary identity which draws inspiration from the raw nature of Khao Yai. VILLA Designed as private sanctuaries where nature interlaces with rooms, all pool villas feature “disintegrated wall” elements to blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces. Doors in the large living room slide open to face the private pool, front lawn, and lake, emphasising the horizontality of the scenery. Sliding louvres in the master bedroom expand the space and transforms the bedroom into a semi-outdoor space. To interact with Khao Yai’s terrain, each bedroom features their own private inner courtyard where residents can enjoy framed views of nature. For the interior design palate, the shades of a misty forest infuse the villas with a sense of calmness, as if natural scenery is flowing into the room. As an additional bonus, villa owners whose properties are managed under the hotel inventory may exchange part of their annual entitlement for a complimentary stay at any participating destinations within the network, whether it is domestically in Phuket, Bangkok, or further afield in stunning destinations including China, Vietnam, Indonesia and more. CONDOMINIUM A cantilevered swimming pool and sprawling terraces in each condo unit bring residents even closer to nature. With just two units per floor, homeowners are assured of maximum privacy, as well as panoramic mountain or lake views from higher floors and lush gardens and tropical greenery on the lower levels. The palette for higher floor condominium units references the colours of the sky behind layers of clouds. Representing the height of tropical living, penthouse units come with a private rooftop garden with uninterrupted vistas of the surrounding nature. The soothing hue of a misty forest lend to the design inspirations for lower floor units, both allowing the interior moods to blend seamlessly with the surrounding nature, including in the ground floor units which come with their own private garden area.
