DDIR Architecture
DDIR Architecture Studio was created in 2003 by the combined inspirations of French-Canadian architect Dominic Dube and Inge Reick, originally from Germany. This firm is based in Bangalore, India and one of their architects, Hillary, emailed us about one of their latest projects. It's the modern and minimalist Rao Residence in Hyderabad. It's perhaps too modern for some folks but a work of art regardless.
Frank Gehry
The 81 year old Canadian-American, Frank Gehry and his practice – Gehry Partners, LLP – rarely shy from delivering truly awe-inspiring buildings, that become instant icons. Their latest offering is the 870 feet tall which is now the tallest residential tower in the Western Hemisphere. Frank Gehry created one of the most breathtakingly original skyscrapers that you may see for some years, if not decades. The elegantly waved, stainless-steel façade looks at times a delicate veil, rippling in the wind, whilst at others a distorted Gotham-esque, surrealist’s wet-dream, as the tower’s unique twists and turns reflect the changing light of the day.
The Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, is no different – as we see in this beautiful set of images from Washington D.C. born photographer, Matthew Carbone. Unmistakably Gehry, the centre is quite literally a vision of twisted genius, with it’s warped façade carried through into a fantastically distorted interior, this is an icon for Vegas that is truly like no other…..

Glamorous Earthy
It is interesting how opposite we consider wood and gold, one very glamorous the other very earthy and unassuming, when they both come to us straight from nature. But it is true, and when combined they balance each other out wonderfully and give a sense of casual, natural glamour. I inevitably start craving adornments that look plucked from the outdoors in springtime, so of course, I want to add a bit of gilded wood to every room, and fill my jewelry box too!
