Design Connext is a platform that assists homeowners in creating and renovating their homes to meet their expectations. In collaboration with BAM, a major asset management company in Thailand, they aim to create business opportunities and enhance the value of foreclosed properties by transforming second-hand homes into beautiful, move-in-ready residences for those looking to own a home, thereby elevating living standards.

Ms. Tharissawan Buamas, Design Connext Business Team Lead revealed that Design Connext is a matchmaking platform that connects homeowners with suitable designers. It has compiled the largest database of architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and contractors in Thailand, with over 2,500 entries. This helps those looking to own a home find the right designer according to their style, budget, and personal preferences. Design Connext acts as an intermediary, ensuring smooth collaboration between designers and homeowners.

The collaboration between Design Connext and BAM aims to enhance the design and improvement of foreclosed properties. Design Connext will offer architectural design services for both exterior and interior work, along with detailed material specifications and renovation costs for BAM clients, increasing the value and marketability of foreclosed properties while also expanding the service opportunities for designers on the Design Connext platform.

“The partnership with BAM will strengthen both parties and create a new formula in the real estate business, allowing customers to renovate second-hand homes in their desired style, reflecting their identity within their set budget. We believe this collaboration will create market opportunities for both sides and reinforce the brand recognition of Design Connext as a facilitator for you to have the right home in your unique style,” Ms. Tharissawan stated.

Mr. Sanit Phubupha, Nexter Incubator Director, revealed that Design Connext is one of the businesses incubated by Nexter Incubator, focusing on operating under the concept of “Think, Create, Repair, Live.” It provides comprehensive home services, including installation, extension, renovation, and interior services, to meet all home-related needs.

Design Connext addresses the needs of those who “think” about owning a home by connecting them with suitable designers according to their style, budget, and personal preferences. This collaboration with BAM is part of a strategy to develop the business as an internal startup, supporting incubated startups to engage in open innovation with external partners to strengthen their business further.

Mr. Bandit Anantamongkol, CEO of BAM stated that in 2022, BAM aims to build a network of partners to continuously develop the management and sale of foreclosed properties, expanding business opportunities and creating sustainable revenue growth for the organization. This collaboration with Design Connext leverages existing strengths to enhance joint business capabilities. Currently, BAM has various types of foreclosed properties, including single-family homes, condos, townhouses, commercial buildings, and vacant land, totaling over 22,000 listings valued at over 67 billion baht.
