Signature style
Wallaya means modern contemporary villas with an emphasis on light, volume and privacy. Projects are intimate, with few villas, which keeps exclusivity. Layouts are spacious, often over 2–3 levels, with a pool, built for both permanent living and premium rental. Locations are Cherngtalay / Si Sunthon and Nai Harn in the south.
