Vision

This project reimagines what a world-class aquarium can be — not merely a theme park attraction, but a transformative journey that entertains, educates, and inspires. More than a collection of exhibit tanks, the experience invites visitors into immersive worlds, fostering a deeper appreciation of nature and a commitment to conservation. The ultimate goal: to establish a new, iconic destination in Phuket that resonates with global audiences.

Design Philosophy

Phuket’s cosmopolitan appeal as a premier holiday destination offers the perfect canvas for a cultural and aquatic odyssey. The aquarium experience is crafted to transcend borders — merging myths, legends, and storytelling traditions from around the world through an aquatic lens. Visitors are taken on a narrative-driven voyage that highlights both the unique and shared aspects of human cultures and their relationships with water. In doing so, the project rekindles ancient stories and deepens the human connection to the marine world.

Execution Strategy

To bring this vision to life, we focused on five core implementation pillars:

• Specialist Team Assembly: A multidisciplinary team of experts was engaged across all critical segments to ensure excellence from concept to completion.
• ROI-Focused Budgeting: Every design and construction decision was aligned with financial viability, balancing creative ambition with return on investment.
• Rigorous Cost Control: Systematic cost analysis and management practices were employed throughout the project to maintain efficiency and accountability.
• Innovative Technology Adoption: One of the first projects in the region to adopt pure-polyurea waterproofing on a large scale — significantly reducing application time and enhancing durability.
• Local Collaboration: A conscious decision to work with local contractors to support regional talent, ensure contextual relevance, and streamline operations.
