Quarter 31

Quarter 31 is a luxury urban villa development on Sukhumvit Soi 31 in central Bangkok, one of the city's most desirable residential enclaves, surrounded by offices, shopping centres, schools and social venues. The landscape, by Shma, draws on the relaxed, easy atmosphere of the neighbourhood and wraps every residence in a warm, welcoming garden rather than a formally manicured display. A 23-metre private swimming pool and a broad green lawn run through the grounds, planted with a rich mix of ornamental species, ferns, shrubs and specimen trees that residents can enjoy in daily life. The design intentionally resists the stiff, symmetrical formality typical of high-end Bangkok villa projects, instead cultivating a soft, domestic outdoor character that feels like a generous extension of the home. Planting is layered so that guests arriving from the street pass through a green buffer before opening onto the pool and lawn, enhancing privacy and cooling the microclimate. The result is a quiet, secluded retreat within walking distance of the city's amenities, where residents can swim, lounge and garden in comfort. Project details are limited in the source material.
