Eclectic, baroque and maximalist — these are the hallmarks of the extravagant residences and resorts crafted by Bensley Design Studio—all of them conceived and directed by the flamboyant and ubercreative landscape maestro himself. Set amidst resplendent tropical gardens, the 24 personalised paradises in this book spread all across Asia from China to India and Bali. The Bensley trademark in his focus on the unconventional and the sensual, with a special reverence for tropical climes and plants. No stranger to controversy, Bensley’s design motto is “The odder the better.” All of the projects showcased here are enlivened by Bensley’s playful, exuberant style and the multifaceted talents of his design teams in Bangkok and Bali.
