Magisch, mystisch, meditativ - Worte werden den schönsten Innenräumen Asiens kaum gerecht. Ein vergoldetes Kloster in Tibet, eine Plantage in Sri Lanka, eine private Villa in Thailand, jeder der vorgestellten Rückzugsorte ist nicht nur in ästhetischer, sondern auch in spiritueller Hinsicht bemerkenswert. So faszinierend facettenreich sich das moderne Asien mit seinem breiten Spektrum höchst heterogener Kulturen dem westlichen Besucher präsentiert, so vielfältig zeigen sich auch die Interiors in diesem Band. Zu den Stationen dieser Entdeckungstour zählen u. a. traditionelle Pfahlhäuser in Myanmar, der atemberaubende Shiv-Niwas-Palast in Indien, den James Bond in Octopussy besuchte, kambodschanische Tempel, das berühmte Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion, ein indigoblaues Herrenhaus aus dem 19. Jahrhundert in George Town, bekannt aus dem Film Indochine mit Catherine Deneuve, und ein tropischer Garten nach Entwürfen des sri-lankischen Architekten Geoffrey Bawa, Mitbegründer des Tropical Modernism und ein Pionier des naturnahen Bauens.
