The Design Philosophy

At Arcana, architecture is not just about structures—it's about creating spaces that breathe, inspire, and harmonize with their natural surroundings. Our design philosophy draws from traditional Thai craftsmanship, contemporary tropical architecture, and biophilic design principles to create environments that awaken the senses and elevate the spirit.

Concept development

“Lie Alonso Dynasty is an international design studio that embodies a fusion of ethnic and cultural influences where East meets West, creating unique spaces and pieces that transcend the classical and contemporary ages with sophisticated approach and a sense of ease and wonder. At the heart of Lie Alonso’s creative journey is the vision of divine living. This vision is not just about luxury, it’s about a state of being. It’s about creating spaces and designs that elevate the human experience, where every moment is a celebration of life itself.”

— Lie Alonso

master plan design

"The creation of houses and buildings which people can relate to, like a magical poem or a stimulation like a great recipe-to discover the "essence". Each piece of land speaks a different language. It is impossible to design well unless you know the land's qualities and aspects, the land's energy flow-the sun, the shade, the wind, the rain, the views, the vistas, the privacy.”

— Walter Wagner, Habitat5

Sustainability principles

Built to endure, designed to regenerate, crafted to inspire

At Arcana, sustainability is more than a feature — it’s the foundation of how we live and build. Every choice we make honours the land, the community, and the future we are shaping together.
‍
‍Design with Nature
‍We don’t build on nature, we build with it. Villas are oriented for natural airflow and light, preserving coconut groves and local flora while reducing reliance on air-conditioning and artificial light.

‍Water Stewardship
‍Rainwater harvesting, filtration, and smart irrigation ensure that every drop is respected. Ancient wisdom meets modern systems, making water a cycle, not a waste.

‍Waste Consciousness
‍From in-villa recycling to F&B food waste prevention, we are committed to responsible consumption. Our Stage 2 plan introduces a recycling education space, alongside community clean-ups and stewardship programs.

‍Energy Innovation
‍Solar and battery storage power our community, with emergency generators only as backup. Efficiency-first design keeps consumption low while comfort remains high.

‍Materials with Integrity
‍Durable, low-toxicity finishes replace disposable solutions. Our “Ancient Future” approach merges time-tested wisdom with modern technology, ensuring long-lasting beauty and performance.
‍
‍Community & Regeneration
‍Sustainability at Arcana goes beyond buildings. Plans for community farming will bring fresh produce from soil to table, while regular beach clean-ups and community days connect residents not only to each other but also to the island itself.

The materials

Our spaces awaken the senses through material authenticity. Reclaimed teak carries memory, local stone anchors to earth, bamboo screens filter light into poetry. Inspired by biophilic design and Thai craftsmanship, every texture invites touch, every surface tells stories. We select materials that age with grace—honest, enduring, alive. Our design philosophy honors natural intelligence: materials that breathe, regulate, and connect us to place.
