Hedley Studios has transformed a prestigious Palm Beach residence into a gallery of automotive artistry, where iconic marques like Ferrari, Bugatti, and Bentley are displayed as sculptural centerpieces.
Marques from Ferrari and Bugatti to Bentley take pride of place in this stunning waterfront residence, where automotive artistry meets architectural grandeur. Heley Studios has seamlessly integrated a collector’s drivable masterpieces into this prestigious Palm Beach estate, transforming these precision-crafted vehicles into sculptural centerpieces. Though fully electric with multiple driving modes, these limited-edition works of art are displayed throughout the oceanfront home and gardens, each meticulously hand-built at Hedley Studios' headquarters in Bicester Heritage, Oxfordshire. Through collaborations with legendary marques, Hedley Studios has curated an extraordinary collection that now graces a home designed by AD100 Hall of Fame designer Daniel Romualdez.
Among the most striking placements is the Hedley Bugatti Baby II, finished in French Racing Blue, set within a living room framed by arched windows overlooking the ocean. A reincarnation of the legendary Bugatti Type 35, its rich color and sculptural form contrast beautifully against the room’s whitewashed cypress wood paneling, cream linen upholstery, and hand-woven Guatemalan carpets. Nearby, a Ferrari Testa Rossa J in “Celeste Met”—a silvery blue with hints of seafoam green—rests beneath an ocean-facing loggia, its hue mirroring the coastal surroundings.
Another Testa Rossa J in classic Rosso Corsa takes pride beside the estate’s sky-blue swimming pool, its bold presence juxtaposed against limestone loggias and tranquil garden courtyards.
Completing the collection is the Bentley Blower Jnr, a tribute to the majestic 1929 race car positioned on the ocean lawn with sculpted boxwood hedges and the Atlantic as its backdrop. Finished in Old English White with a cricket ball leather interior, this piece is the first road-legal creation from Hedley Studios, bridging automotive heritage with contemporary craftsmanship.
Each Hedley Studios vehicle in this collection is a numbered, handcrafted work of art, signed by the artist and bearing an official chassis plate from the automotive OEM. Founded by Ben Hedley in 2019, Hedley Studios continues redefining the intersection of design, performance, and legacy, ensuring that the icons of the past remain as captivating as ever.
