SPOTLIGHT
Capella Bangkok
A positive outlook as we emerge from the pandemic and a glimpse into some of Bamo ’ s innovative projects including the Capella Bangkok and the Waldorf Astoria Miami Hotel & Residences .
Can you give us a snapshot of your year and your expectations for 2021 ?
The past year has been an exciting time at BAMO . We had two major hotel projects open in October last year , the Capella Bangkok and the Four Seasons Madrid , both to great acclaim . More recently our client , PMG , launched sales for the Waldorf Astoria Miami Residences , which includes our design for a Residential show unit and soon , will have some teaser images of our upcoming design for the hotel spaces within the same building .
Has the pandemic affected any of your pipelines ? Do you think there will be any delayed effects or challenges in procurement ?
We are definitely seeing delays happening and in some cases scarcity of raw materials . We have a project opening now in San Francisco , and several key pieces are late due to backups at the shipping ports . Some clients are opting to airfreight pieces , which has been costly and not always foolproof .
