The ultimate in traditional luxury living in a historical resort makes reference to a subtle and refined traditional architecture.

Bensley Architects created this exclusive sanctuary of complete serenity in a subtle compound featured in Architectural Digest in the rustic natural beauty of Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Each pavilion recalls the grace of traditional Lanna style, built from reclaimed and recycled teak wood.

The somnolent splendor of the grounds adds a bewitching presence, as if in a dream.

The resort is set in four acres of verdant tropical gardens, rippling streams and water gardens.

Teakwood floors and large area rugs ground the interior design, hearkening back to an era of grace and elegance.

The resort is separated into seven main pavilions for ­living, dining, master bedroom suites, a studio and some private guest pavilions.

Each pavilion is embellished with decorative doors and shutters that recall the ornate and intricate carvings of the Lanna era.

The stunning setting is cradled on a handsome land plot of four acres, located in Chiang Mai in the foothills of the Himalayas.

An artistic pathway that makes an ever-so-subtle reference to a dragon winds peacefully through the delightful garden.

The landscape rich is with natural streams, boulders, and a diverse array of tropical flora and plant life, sculptures and lit pathways.

The stillness of nature experienced directly is interwoven into a place conceived and designed to become a personal sanctuary.

Overall, the accumulated effect of the enchanting grounds and the unique furnishings and the interplay of subtle colors and tones of the fabled pavillions create a mysterious space that seems to dream forever in the past.
