About Burma Teak Studio (Formerly GQM Construction)

With a legacy rooted in excellence, GQM Construction—now rebranded as Burma Teak Studio—has been at the forefront of Myanmar’s architectural and construction landscape since 1994. Specializing in luxury hospitality developments, our firm has played a pivotal role in shaping Myanmar’s tourism infrastructure by delivering projects that seamlessly blend traditional Burmese aesthetics with modern design principles. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail has established us as a trusted partner in the region’s most prestigious developments.

Our collaboration with the Aureum Palace Hotels & Resorts chain stands as a testament to our expertise in luxury resort construction. Notable projects include:

• Aureum Palace Hotel, Bagan: Situated amidst the ancient temples of Bagan, this resort offers guests an immersive experience into Myanmar’s rich cultural heritage. 
• Aureum Palace Hotel, Ngapali: Located on the pristine shores of Ngapali Beach, this resort combines beachfront luxury with traditional Burmese architecture. 
• Aureum Palace Hotel, Pyin Oo Lwin: Set in the colonial hill station of Pyin Oo Lwin, this property offers a serene retreat with its lush gardens and classic design. 

We are proud to have constructed the Ngapali Bay Villas & Spa, a high-end resort that epitomizes luxury on Myanmar’s most beautiful beach. The resort features 32 individually designed beachfront villas, each offering panoramic sea views and private plunge pools, blending traditional Burmese design with modern comforts.  

Our portfolio includes the construction of the iconic Traders Hotel, now known as Sule Shangri-La Yangon. As one of Yangon’s premier hotels, it has been a landmark in the city’s skyline and a hub for international travelers and business professionals.
