Another Look at Cosanti

 

Yesterday I featured the Paolo Soleri Bridge in Scottsdale, today I'm making another visit to Cosanti, Soleri's former home and studio.  I've featured photos from this place before.  You can see those posts by clicking here.  Above is one of the unique gallery areas.

This is a work area where students and artists work on creating some of the wind chime bells that have become so famous.  

One of those domed areas is crowned with a bright, stained glass window.  It casts a red glow over the area below.  

If you walk back far enough on this property, you can spot Paolo Soleri's former home.  Soleri lived and worked on the property for many years and he passed away here in 2013.

Next to the home is this patio area.  On the other side is the swimming pool.  You can see the water reflected on the ceiling of this place.  When we get to a point of feeling more comfortable visiting places, I'll make a return to this place.  I haven't been here in at least 3 years and it would be fun to see the newest collection of bells.

Fabulous creative buildings. Though those three chairs in the last photo are so out of place.
