Asia Pacific’s premier developers, architects, interior designers and real estate agents gathered in their hundreds at the Shangri-la Hotel in Kuala Lumpur on Friday (May 9th) for the results of the Asia Pacific Property Awards. Entries were received from companies in 26 countries across the Asia Pacific region. Brunei, Myanmar and Nepal joined the competition for the first time this year with each being successful in achieving one of the prestigious awards.
Lord Courtown from the House of Lords in British Parliament was present on stage in his capacity as Chairman of the Architecture and Interior Design categories committee while each winning company was presented with either a ‘Highly Commended’ or ‘5-Star’ award.
Luxury Living is a property developer and real estate agent based on Koh Samui, Thailand and is proud to showcase their success in winning 3 awards at this year’s ceremony. Their highly successful luxury villa development ‘Aqua Samui’ received the 5 star award for ‘Best Architecture Multiple Residence Thailand’ and also ‘highly commended’ for ‘Development Marketing Thailand’. Accompanying this, their recently released luxury condominium development called Aqua Residence, also designed by award winning architect Gary Fell of GFAB, received ‘highly commended’ for ‘Condominium Thailand’.
Managing Director of Luxury Living, Antonio Duane, said “after receiving one award last year it was obviously a delight to win a further 3 awards this year, especially a 5 star. Picking up these awards has been a very proud moment for me but owes everything to all the members of the Luxury Living team back on Koh Samui. This is a reward for all the hard work we put in on past projects and we look forward to attending next year in our hope to win more awards on our current and forth coming projects and developments.
The 5-star winners had been re-judged to select just one from each of the 47 different categories who will go forwards to represent the Asia Pacific region in the 2014 International Property Awards. They will compete against other regional winners from Africa, Arabia, Europe, UK and the Americas to find the ultimate World’s Best in each category. The results of the eagerly anticipated ‘World’s Best’ Property Awards will be revealed at a glittering awards presentation ceremony in Dubai this December.
Asia Pacific has an enviable and unbeaten record of success at international level. The region scooped a total of 13 World’s Best Awards in 2012 but then went on to break its own record number by scoring an impressive 18 World’s Best Awards in 2013.
