Sails in the Desert
This was taken at the back of the offices for Richard Bauer Architects. This office building is within walking distance from my house but, I just noticed these sails recently. The firm of Ricard Bauer has many wonderful buildings in Arizona and I've even featured some of them. Most recently I had photos from the new South Mountain Library adjacent to the South Mountain Community College Campus.
The work this firm does makes my heart sing. I love everything they've done and you can see a sample by clicking on the link to their web site here. The firm specializes in Libraries and have won many awards for their designs. They even designed the interiors of two of my favorite neighborhood restaurants, Cheuvront's Wine Bar and Fez.
An architectural firm, I guess, needs to be creative in the way they design their own offices.
ReplyDeletei hope they see this post.
ReplyDeleteEye-catching designs. I agree.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting. Those sails look like they might be utilitarian to keep out the sun? Maybe for form and function both!
ReplyDeleteA very interesting design.
ReplyDeleteLove the title of this post Sharon, they certainly have distinctive style. I like this very much.
ReplyDeleteEye-catching building, beautiful shot Sharon.
ReplyDeleteGreat title for your post, Sharon and thanks for the link to the firm that designs outstanding contemporary architecture!
ReplyDeleteI can understand your feelings about this firm. Looking over their website, I find their designs to be very attractive; light and airy; modern but not overpoweringly so.
ReplyDeleteI remember your library post! Love these sails - I guess they provide a bit of extra shade and privacy?
ReplyDeleteWonderful design. I loved going to Cheuvront's. My sister took me to the Fez once. I wasn't too impressed.
ReplyDeletevery nice features. great design work
ReplyDeleteLovely pop of yellow!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, I wonder what they use this area for, looks like a back patio or deck.
ReplyDeleteInteresting repetitive pattern these sails make.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool! What a great idea.
