"Having known Richard for many years and seen many of his development projects, I was happy to invest a substantial amount of money to buy a Club Penthouse before I had even visited Phuket! Having now visited the Kata Rocks site and seen that amazing rock platform, I must say it is even better than I expected. I even hired a jet ski to check it out from the sea and it's absolutely stunning - I don't think that the excellent photos on the website do the fantastic location justice!" Mike Rogers, Purchaser of a Club Penthouse at Kata Rocks.

About Us

Developer Profile - Richard Pope

Richard has been a property developer for over 20 years in the UK. He has been running his own construction and property development companies focusing solely on developing residential property. These development projects have mainly been very high quality projects in the exclusive area of Notting Hill in London.

Richard has also built a large portfolio of high end rental properties in Notting Hill which are let to city bankers and other professionals. He also runs the estate management companies for his own properties and for others.

Richard was invited to invest in a development in Phuket at the end of 2006. He decided not to get involved in this particular project but saw the huge potential of Asia and particularly Phuket. He felt the timing was right to move his focus away from London where prices were extremely high and he began looking for property in Phuket. In less than a year, the perfect piece of land at Kata had been found, concept designs drawn up and an office set up with six full time staff.

Architect & Project Management - Original Vision

Architect - Adrian McCarroll (MD of Original Vision Hong Kong)
Adrian established Original Vision in 1992 in Hong Kong where his main office is based with the goal of developing new concepts in contemporary tropical architecture. In the past 16 years, he has designed and built many of Asia's most significant villas. He has received numerous international design awards including the "Best Architect in Thailand" award in 2006 for his Samsara project in Phuket.

Project Manager - Steve Gorton (Director of Original Vision Thailand)
Due to the number of significant projects that Original Vision were getting in Phuket, Adrian set up an office in Phuket in 2000 and hired Steve Gorton to run the Phuket side of Original Vision. Steve, also an architect by training, heads up the project management side of Original Vision overseeing their many developments in Phuket and throughout Asia.
