Art House Group

Art House Group is best understood as a Phuket-based group of related real-estate businesses rather than a single listed developer. Its own website presents construction, brokerage, legal support and property management under the broader Art House umbrella. Public company databases separately identify ART HOUSE COMPANY LIMITED, registered on 10 May 2012, and ART HOUSE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED, registered on 4 December 2014; the latter is shown as active with registered capital of THB 158 million and a head-office address in Ratsada, Phuket. For a buyer, the brand history is therefore only the first layer of due diligence: the company named as seller in the contract and its legal relationship to the project matter more.

Overview

Art House Group is best understood as a Phuket-based group of related real-estate businesses rather than a single listed developer. Its own website presents construction, brokerage, legal support and property management under the broader Art House umbrella. Public company databases separately identify ART HOUSE COMPANY LIMITED, registered on 10 May 2012, and ART HOUSE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED, registered on 4 December 2014; the latter is shown as active with registered capital of THB 158 million and a head-office address in Ratsada, Phuket. For a buyer, the brand history is therefore only the first layer of due diligence: the company named as seller in the contract and its legal relationship to the project matter more.

Track record

The group's traceable Phuket history spans more than one residential format. The official website for The Proud Residence Karon identifies Art House Group as the developer and describes 191 residences across two seven-storey buildings. Above Element in Choeng Thale is attributed to Art House Group by current property databases; FazWaz lists 263 units, seven floors and completion in May 2026. Hennessy Residence in Karon is also tied to the group, with the current FazWaz project page showing nine low-rise buildings, 297 units and an off-plan completion date of December 2027. Art House itself claims 68 completed projects and a team of more than 160 professionals, but those portfolio and staffing totals are self-reported and were not independently verified in full.

Segments and prices

Current inventory places much of the group's condominium product in Phuket's mid-to-upper resort price range, although there is no single Art House price tier. On 24 August 2026, DDproperty showed Above Element units at roughly THB 5.5 million to THB 20 million, while FazWaz had an entry listing at THB 4.95 million. FazWaz showed Hennessy Residence from about THB 8.86 million, whereas DDproperty displayed available stock around THB 8.5-9.8 million. These are live asking or portal prices, not a universal developer price list. Tenure, unit size, view, furnishing package and sales stage can materially change the actual acquisition cost, so a unit-specific written quotation is more useful than a headline starting price.

Geography

Art House Group's publicly documented activity is concentrated in Phuket. Its current development footprint is visible in two distinct west-coast resort markets: Choeng Thale/Bang Tao, where Above Element is located, and Karon, home to The Proud Residence Karon and Hennessy Residence. The group's own website also associates the Art House umbrella with property in Rawai and other parts of the island. For a buyer, this concentration is more relevant than a simple city count because resort-area demand, building management, beach access and local operating conditions can vary sharply even within Phuket.

Reliability and public record

Art House Group has a verifiable local operating history and active Thai corporate entities, but it offers less public financial transparency than a SET-listed developer with published investor reports. A useful positive is that ART HOUSE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED can be traced in company databases as an active entity incorporated in 2014 with registered capital of THB 158 million. Buyers should nevertheless read the group's marketing record carefully. One Art House page refers to ten years of stable operations while another promotes fifteen years of construction experience, and public project timelines are not always aligned. FazWaz currently records Above Element as completed in May 2026 while DDproperty lists 2025; for Hennessy Residence, current FazWaz data points to December 2027 while DDproperty still shows 2026. These inconsistencies do not establish a project failure, but they make current legal documents, construction evidence and the contractual handover date more important than legacy marketing pages.

What to verify

For an Art House purchase, due diligence should begin with the legal entity actually named in the contract. Because the group operates through several related companies, the buyer should reconcile the seller, landowner, payment recipient and the entity responsible for construction or management. Hennessy Residence deserves particular attention to the latest construction schedule and contractual delivery date because current public sources still diverge between 2026 and 2027. For Above Element, which is already shown as completed by current market sources, the practical focus shifts to transfer status, title documentation for the selected unit and the full closing-cost statement. Tenure should also be confirmed unit by unit: DDproperty currently labels Above Element as freehold while Hennessy Residence is presented as leasehold. If the purchase case includes rental or property management, that management agreement should be reviewed separately from the sale contract, including fees, owner expenses, termination rights and payout mechanics.

Frequently asked questions

How long has Art House Group operated in Phuket?

There is no single unambiguous incorporation date for the entire brand in the public material reviewed. ART HOUSE COMPANY LIMITED was registered on 10 May 2012 and ART HOUSE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED on 4 December 2014, while Art House marketing pages refer variously to ten and fifteen years of operating or construction experience. For transaction due diligence, the history of the specific contracting company is more useful than the age claimed for the umbrella brand.

Is Above Element completed?

Current FazWaz data marks Above Element as completed in May 2026. DDproperty also treats it as a completed project, although it gives 2025 as the completion year. A buyer should therefore verify the handover and registration status of the exact unit rather than relying only on the project-level completion label.

When is Hennessy Residence expected to complete?

The freshest FazWaz project page located in this review shows December 2027 and an off-plan status, while DDproperty still displays 2026. That conflict makes the current sale contract and verified construction schedule the appropriate reference points for a buyer.

Does Art House Group only develop condominiums?

No. The group's own website presents both condominium and villa developments and also describes construction, brokerage, legal services and property management as parts of the wider business. Buyers should not assume that experience in one format automatically answers the due-diligence questions of another, because villas and condominiums can differ materially in land rights, running costs and management structure.

Can a foreign buyer acquire an Art House unit as freehold?

It depends on the project and the specific unit. DDproperty currently identifies Above Element as freehold and Hennessy Residence as leasehold, but a portal label is not a substitute for project documentation. Before paying, the buyer should obtain written confirmation of the tenure attached to the selected unit and, for a condominium freehold purchase, confirmation that it can be transferred to the intended foreign purchaser.
