THE RAJPRUEK CLUB
Bangkok, Thailand

At the exclusive Rajpruek Club, a few miles from the heart of downtown Bangkok, we led a team to prepare the master plan and golf course design for this very unique and successful project. As the focal point of this international landmark the golf course is surrounded by midrise and highrise office buildings, residential towers, a five-star hotel and commercial center. Working on a technically challenging site, we introduced an innovative drainage and dewatering system that permitted the creation of dramatic landscape contouring which was previously considered unattainable within the flood-prone Bangkok delta.
