Product Description
Zen. Soothing. Mystical. Meditative. All the most serene words in the world couldn't begin to describe the effect of Asia's most beautiful interiors. Whether it's a monastery in Tibet, a beautiful garden on a rubber plantation in Sri Lanka, or a private holiday villa in Thailand, each spot chosen for this book is remarkable not only for its aesthetics but for its spirit. The book is "clothed" in a silk-like bright orange fabric, the same color used for Thai monks' robes, and patterned with flying Garuda birds. These interiors have what it takes to transport you to a sacred place; breathe deeply, delve in, and be inspired. This work features 48 locations in the following countries: Tibet, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Singapore, and Malaysia. Its highlights include: breathtaking garden designed by Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa; a rice barge in Thailand constructed of golden teak; a modern minimalist villa in Cambodia; traditional Burmese wooden houses on stilts; a high-rise apartment in Singapore; and, a blue mansion in Malaysia.
