MQDC (Magnolia Quality Development Corporation), shared the latest update on its theme project The Forestias being readied for next year’s initial opening after more than four years of developing a wide range of residential projects and a forest in a one-of-a-kind concept.
Good progress is being made on the development of the forest and a variety of residential concepts at a project which is turning imagination into reality. Visitors to the event titled ‘The Forestias Story & Beyond: The Immersive Experience of Imagine Happiness’ can experience to the full life and a lifestyle beyond imagination.
Kittiphun Ouiyamaphun, MQDC’s President responsible for the The Forestias, said the event is like an immersive theme park to show the progress of all the branded residential developments at The Forestias such as Whizdom The Forestias, Mulberry Grove The Forestias, The Aspen Tree The Forestias, Six Senses Residences The Forestias as well as the Six Senses hotel and Hotel Indigo. There is also a preview of sample units in virtual reality of the latest residential development launched at the project – The Forestias Signature Series.
In addition to sharing the progress of the main developments and residences at The Forestias, the company also unveiled the Happitat, the most recent component that will help The Forestias serve the diverse needs of all groups, of all genders and ages. With a new concept, the Happitat will function as a space to deliver a new kind of experience covering lifestyle, entertainment, dining and shopping and offering spaces for lifestyle and cultural activities to bring to life happiness beyond imagination
Happitat: A Year in a Day at Happitat
One of the highlights of the event on the A Year in a Day at Happitat stage is the unveiling of the latest component called the Happitat.
Orada Kerdhong, President of Storied Place Management which is responsible for the Happitat, said that the Happitat is being developed to be a new destination to create happy experiences for visitors of all generations.
The Happitat starts at the front of The Forestias and spans 211,200 square metres. Inside the Happitat, there are also lifestyle spaces, including an Event Hall across 4,000 square metres, and a 10-storey office building with a floor area of over 61,900 square metres. All components of Happitat are designed to be unique to make it a Magical Theme Destination that appeals to all generations and all groups.
She said, “The name ‘Happitat’ is created by mixing together the words ‘Happiness’ as well as ‘Habitat’ to communicate that it is a place where everyone can spend lots of time and be happy, every day. Everybody can come to spend time, carry out various activities, work, or shop for their favourite items, and enjoy themselves as they desire to the full.”
The developer is also planning to make the Happitat an Immersive Physical Experience where the real world and the virtual world come together and which will support omni-channel activities of the various partners at the Happitat.
The Forestias Mettaverse: Fly Through Layers of Happiness
Also presented at the event is the concept of connecting residential developments in the real and virtual worlds together through The Forestias Mettaverse, which is being developed by MQDC Idyllias.
Parut Penpayap, Chief Executive Officer, MQDC Idyllias, said The Forestias Mettaverse is the first property by MQDC to have a digital twin in the Idyllias universe. The Forestias Mettaverse utilises a wide range of technologies, including AR, VR, blockchain and Internet of Things to enable life in the virtual world. It also focuses on doing good, as well as promoting learning and sharing in line with MQDC’s philosophy of doing things for All Well-being.
As part of The Forestias Mettaverse, gamification, entertainment and privileges are designed for residents, customers, communities and visitors to join in many virtual-world activities, as well as open opportunities for partners at various establishments to offer their services through an additional dimension that can add convenience to residents and visitors as well as expand the business of the service providers.
At the event, progress on the development of Translucia was also shared in an exciting way. Translucia is the platform for an infinite number of metaverses, and where Idyllias is one of the metaverses on the Translucia platform.
