Dewan Architects & Engineers is making waves in Southeast Asia's luxury branded residences market by combining global design expertise with local cultural insights.
With over 40 years of experience across the Middle East, Europe, and Asia, the firm has become a key player in translating international brand identities into architecture that resonates with local environments.
Their projects, such as La Mer by ELIE SAAB and the award-winning Oceano developments, showcase their ability to merge brand DNA with lifestyle programming and architectural quality.
Riding the crest of the wave
The rise of branded residences in Vietnam, Thailand, and neighbouring countries is driven by affluent buyers seeking a five-star living experience. In the Asia-Pacific region, these developments have surged by 230 percent over the past decade, with Vietnam alone seeing a 210 percent increase.
Global luxury hotel operators, including The Ritz-Carlton, JW Marriott, and Four Seasons, are partnering with local developers to introduce internationally recognised design standards to fast-growing cities.
Dewan's Vietnam studio, established in 2018, plays a crucial role in interpreting lifestyle nuances whilst maintaining global standards. The firm has been involved in projects like Solforest EcoRivers and TUI Blue Han River.
Their latest venture, Maia Ho Tram, introduces a wellness-driven hospitality and residential experience to Vietnam's southern coastline.
Dewan's flagship project, Layan Verde in Phuket, exemplifies their approach to resort-style living; spanning 78,000 square metres, it includes a five-star hotel, branded condominiums, and a lifestyle-oriented commercial axis.
Scheduled for completion in 2028, it highlights Dewan's holistic design philosophy
Dewan Architects & Engineers continues to lead the luxury living frontier in Southeast Asia, merging hospitality, lifestyle, and residential architecture into a cohesive offering that resonates with modern buyers.
