I dont like the 7 stories - why is this height allowed in this area where I was under impression that a max of 3 or 4 stoies was the limit? Bill Barnett responds:
Thanks for comments, the zone where the project is located is 23 meters. Given the considerable number of rai on site and fairly low density, believe the developer is taking a prudent approach to greening the site. As land prices escalate, no doubt medium rise buildings are on the horizon for Phuket, as you can see with Laguna's similar sized Lofts building.
