We are DESIGNWILKES Sdn Bhd, established in 1994. Our group of dedicated staff specializes in luxury hospitality, residences and restaurants which has taken us across 5 continents as we work to create environments that respond to indigenous art, & craft and historic architecture.  We have been fortunate to have been trusted with the sensitive renovations of The Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai, Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong and Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Bangkok.  Our mission is always to create interiors that enhance the comfort levels of the end user, while providing a sense of excitement and glamour to their experience.

Noteworthy projects include award winning hotels Mandarin Oriental Jumeira Dubai, The Oberoi Udaivilas & The Leela Palace in Udaipur.  We were selected for the first new build Ritz Carlton Reserve, Mandapa in Ubud which has gone on to be a favourite among travelers. We practice a sense of timelessness, and sensitivity ensuring that the narrative speaks louder than the design team.

We are presently in the midst of a USD 100 million dollar renovation of Mandarin Oriental Singapore. In 2019 we completed the renovation of the Mandarin Oriental Bangkok. This was the third time we have worked on this property, which allowed us to continue our story and improve the overall product.

India has always been welcoming to our design aesthetic. We started with the Oberoi Rajvilas in Jaipur 25 years ago and are now working on a refresh. We continue our journey with The Oberoi Rajgarh Palace in Khajuraho, set to open in 2024.

DESIGNWILKES successfully continues to embrace the brief and client direction in order to produce lasting masterpieces.
