    Background

    2023

    Develop the organization towards sustainability

    The Company announced its sustainable development policy on May 11, 2023 with the goal of balanced growth in the areas of economic, corporate governance, society & community, and environment, with the objective to “Create A Better Living” for all relevant stakeholders. The Company also initiated its first greenhouse gas emissions reporting, covering 57 offices including a headquarter and sales offices, certified by ISO14064-1 from Bureau Veritas and CFO registration by Thailand Greenhouse Gas Management Organization (TGO).

    AirPlus Square Condo development and installation

    It was at the Wanvayla Na Chaophraya condominium project launch that Land and Houses began installing the AirPlus2 system to inject filtered air into residences. By filtering out PM2.5 airborne particulates with HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filters while removing residual air, the mechanism always refreshes residences with more hygienic air. One can control and check the automated system status on a mobile application via particulate sensors inside each room.

    Linear Grille

    An innovation designed for ventilation while keeping rainwater and insects out, thus keeping residences safe and sound amid good ventilation. Designed for modern homes, the innovation is perfect for walls without eaves. Linear Grille has registered design petty patents (pending).

    Solar Roof: Sample pre-built houses

    Land and Houses installed solar roofs to generate electrical power from clean energy at its pre-built houses to free owners from paying power charges caused by their daytime stay. This has also eased long-running global warming problems due to current energy consumption.

    Solar system introduction for project wastewater treatment pond

    Land and Houses installed solar-powered systems for its project wastewater treatment ponds to cut daytime power consumption for projects and make possible carbon credit calculation, starting with four new projects launched in 2023.

    Design of houses and surroundings under the concept of sustainability pursuit for the new age

    Green Creation Design It has become essential for residence design trends to address environmental concerns, for current global volatility has wielded widespread impacts. Management design is therefore crucial to the mitigation and prevention of environmental problems so that residents of all generations may live in a suitable environment for a decent quality of life. To this end, the “home environmental design” concept is applied to Land and Houses’ home and project environmental design to align with nature and achieve orientation with sunlight and wind directions (Oriented Design), culminating in a comfort zone. To illustrate, we make available semi-outdoor space together with suitable opening and arrangement of tree-pots and facades for privacy and nice “inside out – outside in” appearance while valuing “space for new gen” through detailed design to cater to their lifestyles in an effective and suitable way for the New & Next Normal.

    Prebuilt Houses Land and Houses’ novel alternative for house buyers serves various needs while minimizing problems about getting houses ready before moving in. To illustrate, customers no longer have to worry about finding available carpenters, technicians, etc., waiting on furniture production, preparing funds for home decoration, worrying about unattractive house decoration, or waiting for houses to be ready. Prebuilt houses ensure customers that their residences are not only attractive, but fully decorated. Our design team is charged with completion of all steps of design and construct supervision—electrical, lighting, built-in furniture, installation of electrical appliances, air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and home decoration items. Customers simply move into their desired houses. That way, they no longer worry about budget overruns since a single loan covers all needs. Prebuilt houses are available for single detached, duplex, and townhome units at various locations.

    YON multipurpose bin The multipurpose bin design was an applied “Save Space to Create Space” concept by Land and Houses’ landscape experts in conjunction with DOS, both of whom strive to optimize the application of limited utilization space while making such space more attractive. Nowadays, as urban space is more and more expensive, different applications are merged (mailbox, parcel box, and waste bins), resulting in YON, for more convenient and diversified applications. YON houses built-in compartments for general waste, hazardous waste, recyclable waste, and used paper along with a sizable compartment for parcels and letters. The YON material not only bears high quality but is also recyclable.

    Solar design In use are solar-cell lamps for landscape work, which also saves energy. These lamps feature in the common gardens in projects and outdoor wall lamps of all prebuilt houses.
