\"Exploring<\/a>Bangkok, Thailand, April 16, 2026 \/ TRAVELINDEX \/ City Dynamic<\/strong> presents A House in the Making<\/em>, a film that brings together the creative teams behind Upper House Residences Bangkok<\/a> and The Wireless Residences by Upper House<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The film offers a considered look at the thinking, craft, and collaboration behind the first Upper House branded residences<\/a> globally, situated on a rare freehold site on Bangkok\u2019s prestigious Wireless Road.<\/p>\n

Featuring Foster + Partners, BAR Studio, PIA Interior and P Landscape, the film explores how architecture, interiors, landscape and service come together to shape two distinct Houses \u2014 designed for living<\/a>, not spectacle.<\/p>\n

Bringing Upper House Home<\/strong><\/p>\n

The film opens with the Upper House philosophy: Houses, not Hotels<\/strong><\/a>. Known for an approach to hospitality that feels personal, unforced and quietly attentive, Upper House is extending this philosophy into residential living for the first time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a truly creative collaboration<\/em>,\u201d says Toby Smith, Chief Commercial Officer, Swire Hotels<\/a><\/strong>. \u201cUpper House has never been about making statements. It\u2019s about creating places that feel honest and personal. True Houses. And, of course, there is the service \u2014 intuitive, unscripted, and grounded in genuine human connection.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Architecture: Hospitality in Every Detail<\/strong><\/p>\n

Led by Foster + Partners<\/strong> through its local entity F&P (Thailand) Ltd., the architecture draws from the proportions and spatial calm of traditional Thai villas, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. The buildings are shaped around comfort, light and openness, with panoramic views of Lumphini Park and Benjakitti Park.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat we wanted was to bring the idea of hospitality into ultra-luxury residential living,\u201d explains Roland Schnizer, Lead Architect, Foster + Partners<\/strong>. \u201cIt\u2019s about coming home to a sense of calm \u2014 a garden presence on Wireless Road that feels both unexpected and deeply considered.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interiors: Two Ways of Living Well<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Upper House Residences Bangkok<\/strong>, interiors by BAR Studio<\/strong> focus on holistic living. Spaces are designed to flow effortlessly between private retreat and shared living, with natural light, wellness and understated materiality at the core.<\/p>\n

At The Wireless Residences by Upper House, PIA Interior<\/strong> brings a perspective shaped by multi-generational living. Homes are thoughtfully planned to accommodate families of different sizes and stages, with layouts that allow residents to have their own space while shared areas naturally bring the family together.<\/p>\n

Landscape: Living with the Garden<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landscape design by P Landscape<\/strong> centres on the idea of a home in a garden<\/strong>. Pathways, planting and open spaces are composed to feel intimate and personal, gently connecting the site to Bangkok\u2019s Green Mile and the surrounding parks.<\/p>\n

Your Upper House<\/strong><\/p>\n

The design inspiration film reflects a shared objective among the design partners: to create two Houses that feel anchored to place, shaped by people, and made to last.<\/p>\n

\u201cA site like this comes along once in a generation,\u201d says Casey Au, Co-Managing Director, City Dynamic<\/strong>. \u201cThese are not products. They are homes \u2014 crafted with care and designed to be lived in for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we first walked the site,\u201d adds Thomas Woolsey, Co-Managing Director, City Dynamic<\/strong>, \u201cwe recognised immediately how rare this opportunity was. It allowed us to create not one, but two distinct residential expressions \u2014 each with its own character, yet united by the Upper House\u2019s way of thinking.\u201d<\/p>\n

Upper House Residences Bangkok and The Wireless Residences by Upper House are situated in the heart of Bangkok\u2019s central business district, steps away from the city\u2019s premier shopping destinations, five-star hotels, international schools, and embassies.<\/p>\n

Currently under development, Upper House Residences Bangkok comprises 156 residences within a 52-storey building, while The Wireless Residences by Upper House comprises 239 residences within a 71-storey tower.<\/p>\n

Both towers are scheduled for phased completion from 2029 and will be managed by Upper House.<\/p>\n
