“I consider myself a very lucky person as I have found how I want to contribute to this amazing environment that motivates me,” he said. “Whenever my mind gets too narrowly focused on things, I try to just look around and see how people do it – how they flow through their traditions, their love for family, their love for traditional clothing, what they emphasise on, their rituals, and their perceptions about happiness. It is not just about having a fast-paced lifestyle.”
Dornier takes pleasure in revisiting old projects to see how the properties have evolved and grown into their environments over time. One of his favourites is The Bond, a five-bedroom house completed in 2020. It boasts two living spaces, a spa as well as an infinity pool that offers unparalleled views of its lush surroundings.
“We were seeking to make something that makes the most minimal contribution to the silhouette of the landscape. The other day I was walking and looking at the house from the rice field and it was almost not visible. It was very much camouflaged in the jungle; when you are in the house, you have essentially immersed yourself into the forest,” he observed.
