koh Samui Turnkey Project
Turnkey Property Development in Koh Samui
From Land Purchase to Fully Furnished Luxury Villas
One integrated team – Archi Studio (design), Ancra (construction) and KraftLine (joinery & furniture) – delivering turnkey property development in Koh Samui from land due diligence and masterplanning to construction, interiors and fully furnished, guest-ready villas and resorts.
Land to Keys
From raw land selection to guest-ready villas, we manage the full journey end-to-end.
Integrated Ecosystem
Archi Studio, Ancra and KraftLine work as one stack – no gaps between design, build and joinery.
Samui-Specific Design
Masterplans and villas shaped around Samui’s slope, drainage and coastal regulations.
Investor-Friendly
Clear phasing, BOQs and timelines designed for international investors.
One Team. One Workflow.
From Empty Land to Finished Home.
Building in Koh Samui is complex – steep slopes, drainage routes, coastal regulations and supply chains all need to align. Our turnkey model removes the need to coordinate separate architects, contractors and furniture vendors. Instead, you get one integrated development pipeline with a single point of accountability.
Archi Studio leads the architecture and interior design, Ancra executes the construction on the island, and KraftLine delivers precision-engineered kitchens, wardrobes and built-ins. The result: villas and resorts that are beautiful, compliant, buildable and fully furnished.

Buy the Right Land, Not Just the Right View
The most expensive mistake in Koh Samui is buying the wrong plot. Before any commitment, we help you understand what is truly buildable, what it will cost, and where the risks sit.
Document & Title Review
- Chanote verification via your Thai lawyer
- Checks on access, easements and subdivision history
- Flagging of constraints that impact permits or resale
Regulation & Terrain Scan
- Altitude, slope and distance from the beach
- Zoning and environmental bands (80m / 140m rules, hillside zones)
- Natural waterways, drainage paths and risk areas
Yield & Investment Snapshot
Initial estimate of realistic keys / villas per plot. High-level CAPEX implications per development strategy. Go / Adjust / Avoid recommendation before you buy.
Outcome: you never purchase blind or over-promise to investors.
From Raw Plot to Cohesive Samui Masterplan
Once the land is cleared from a feasibility perspective, we shape the big picture: internal roads, villa clusters, green belts, drainage corridors and shared amenities. Every decision is informed by views, privacy, slope and environmental regulations.
- Development Strategy & Unit Mix: Aligning masterplan layouts with your business model – for-sale villas, branded residences, resort, or hybrid schemes.
- View, Privacy & Access: Road geometry, parking, boundaries and landscaping configured to protect views and neighbour relationships.
- Infrastructure Thinking: Early planning of drainage, retaining walls and utilities to avoid expensive redesign later.
Deliverable: a cohesive Koh Samui masterplan you can use for capital raising and pre-sales.
Samui Villas Designed to Build, Not Just to Market
Archi Studio leads villa and resort design using BIM and parametric tools to balance aesthetics, regulations and buildability. Our designs respond to views, breezes and sun path while respecting Samui’s height caps, green ratios and slope rules.
Concept & Schematic
- Layouts, massing and roof forms tuned to each plot
- View-optimised living areas and terraces
- Tropical, pitched-roof language compatible with hillside zones
Design Development
- Plans, sections and construction details in BIM
- Full coordination with structural, MEP and drainage engineers
Cost & Buildability
- Input from Ancra regarding structural options and site logistics
- Value engineering where needed, without diluting the concept
- Clear basis for permit drawings and accurate BOQs
Permit-Ready Documentation for Koh Samui Authorities
We support your Thai engineer of record and legal team with drawings and documentation structured around local authority checklists. Our role: design and coordinate so approvals are smoother and design intent is maintained.
- Permit Drawings: Architectural, structural and MEP packages aligned with OrBorTor / Tessaban expectations.
- Regulation Compliance: Height limits, green-space ratios, setback rules, environmental zones and drainage corridors embedded in the design.
- IEE / EIA Support: Coordination with accredited environmental consultants for larger or sensitive developments.
On-the-Ground Delivery Built for Island Conditions
Ancra leads construction on the island, executing villas, pools, retaining walls and infrastructure to a standard aligned with coastal exposure and hillside terrain. We focus on structure, durability and safe access before the finishes go in.
Earthworks & Slope
Cut-and-fill, retaining structures and slope stabilisation based on topographic and soil data.
Structure & MEP
Marine-aware concrete and steel, plus power, water, drainage and pool systems, fully pressure-tested.
Roads & External Works
Roads, parking, drainage channels and boundaries executed as part of an integrated masterplan.
Tropical Interiors for Living, Hosting & Rental
Archi Studio’s interior team plans how it feels to live and operate inside each key – from owner use to high-occupancy holiday rentals. We balance comfort, durability and storytelling throughout the villa or resort.
Space Planning & Flow
- Living, dining and kitchen layouts tuned to views and breezes
- Guest circulation, storage and back-of-house optimisation
Materials & Lighting
- Finishes suited to humidity, salt air and cleaning cycles

Custom Kitchens, Wardrobes & Joinery
KraftLine, our manufacturing arm, bridges design and production with CNC-driven precision and modular systems, built for tropical villas and heavy rental use.
- Modular Kitchens: Factory-built, climate-ready kitchens that install quickly on site and are easy to maintain or replace.
- Wardrobes & Storage: Built-ins tailored to each bedroom type, with smart storage and robust hardware.
- Feature Joinery: TV walls, bars, wall panels and integrated seating that tie the architecture and interiors together.
From Construction Site to Guest-Ready Keys
We finish the journey by delivering villas and units that are ready to move into or list – not half-finished shells still waiting on furniture.
- Furniture Procurement: Sourcing and scheduling of loose furniture, lighting, curtains and decor.
