Thai landscape designer Jirachai Rengthong is renowned for his unique approach to garden design, intentionally avoiding expansive, all-encompassing views. His acclaimed projects, including Capella Ubud, Shinta Mani Wild, and the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui, emphasize a sense of discovery. Rengthong achieves this through layered planting, utilizing mature trees to create depth and division, and crafting distinct “garden rooms.” This deliberate design choice encourages visitors to explore the landscape slowly, appreciating individual elements before the whole is revealed. The focus isn’t on an immediate, picturesque panorama, but rather an immersive, unfolding experience. Rengthong’s work prioritizes a connection with nature fostered through gradual revelation and mindful wandering.
