The Ivy Jomtien, originally launched as Suan Sawarn, is a multi-building residential development located in the Jomtien area of Pattaya. The project was designed by Mario Kleff through Wandeegroup, with initial development undertaken by Gordon Gillen of TAG Group.
Architectural Design
The development incorporates duplex residential units, representing a variation from typical single-level apartment layouts within the Pattaya condominium market at the time of its conception. The architectural language is defined by linear geometry, a restrained modernist approach, and functionally organized layouts. The design emphasizes spatial clarity, vertical connectivity within duplex units, and efficient residential planning.
Development and Rebranding
The project was initially marketed under the name Suan Sawarn before being rebranded as The Ivy Jomtien. Subsequent revisions included updated interior design schemes, while the primary architectural framework remained largely unchanged.
Construction was implemented in phases, with Phase 1—comprising five buildings—completed under Kleff’s supervision. Due to financial constraints, later phases were not realized, and the development remains partially completed as of 2025.
Project Context
The Ivy Jomtien represents an example of typological variation within Pattaya’s mid-scale residential sector, incorporating duplex units alongside conventional apartment configurations. The project reflects an approach focused on functional planning and adaptation of residential layouts within the local development context.
