Bakong Village

DESIGNED TO BUILD COMMUNITY

In 2017, ULS ran an architectural competition to “reinvent the shophouse” aimed to repurpose shophouses back in line with their historically community-oriented use. This was the first step to what would become Bakong Village, our Siem Reap development that takes an entirely new approach to housing in Cambodia.

Located just 10 minutes from the heart of Siem Reap City and 15 minutes from Angkor Wat, Bakong Village is being developed to place people first, and cars and motorcycles second; completely rethinking the suburban community in the Kingdom.
