Exploring the curves, reflections, and textures of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao — where architecture becomes art. ✨ #GuggenheimBilbao #ArchitecturePhotography #FrankGehry #ModernArchitecture
Architects; Ahrends, Burton & Koralek, 1964.
This building when visited by me as a student in 1967 left a lasting impression and I was unable to get it out of my mind. I knew it was listed but I also heard that it was no longer owned but the church and has changed its function which can often create a mismatch and spell disaster for the original building.
It was designed as residential accommodation with 35 study bedrooms and three small flats for tutors and a caretaker’s flat to make the college fully residential.
The client gave the architects considerable freedom in developing the distinct design which has now become a residential home for the elderly. The original design concept was based on a circulation route between an existing nearby chapel, the new building and an old existing residential building. Some of these circulation spaces had to be enclosed for the new frail users but the integrity of original design is still proving strong enough not only to accept the change of use but I am informed is highly popular with a long list of tenants waiting for a place to move in. The old library with beautiful roof lights has made a wonderful dining/sitting area. The building now sits among new housing and other development and has lost its dominance over an open landscape with its bold forms and the mature tree. The new rather ‘flowery’ approach to landscape no doubt appeals to the users of the building and once again the old sombre looking building seems to sit there like a contented grandparent with colourful toys belonging to the grandchildren in its lap.

Geschichten aus der Enge - dieses Hochhaus hat einen stark vorspringenden Sockelbereich und danach im Rücksprung unzählige weitere Stockwerke ... also fast ... also für Schweizer Verhältnisse ... ;-) ...
das nächste Hochhaus, in meinem Rücken, steht sehr dicht, nur wenige Meter entfernt - aber zum Glück wird es vom Hochhaus vor mir gespiegelt und zum Glück wird im Hochhaus, hinter mir, der obere Bereich des Hochhauses, vor mir, gespiegelt, den der untere Vorsprung verbirgt ...
und die Seitenbereiche der Hochhäuser, vor, neben und hinter mir, werden von der Lobby, vor und vom ungestützten ! Vorsprung, über mir, gespiegelt ...
alles klar ? ;-) ...
ja dann, eine gute Woche ... !

Durham, NC USA - The building opened its doors in 1973 as corporate headquarters for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina. Over the years, it has been recognized for its unique design and was featured in the New York Times Magazine, Time and Newsweek. It was also part of a design exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Tempozan Harbor Village in Osaka is a vibrant waterfront district that seamlessly blends modern entertainment with natural beauty. Known for its architectural charm and cultural significance, this bustling area is home to some of Osaka’s most iconic attractions, including the Tempozan Ferris Wheel, Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan, and LEGOLAND Discovery Center. The sleek, contemporary structures of Tempozan Harbor Village create an aesthetic contrast to the serene waters of Osaka Bay.
The architectural layout of the village is characterized by its clean, geometric lines and the use of glass and steel, allowing natural light to flood into its spaces. The photo highlights the interplay of design elements, such as the minimalist white framework that adds a futuristic edge to the village. Wide, glass-enclosed escalators and landscaped terraces bring functionality and beauty together, ensuring easy access while inviting visitors to pause and enjoy the lush greenery.
Established as part of Osaka’s waterfront revitalization project, Tempozan Harbor Village represents the city’s commitment to urban innovation and sustainable design. The area was historically a trading hub, and its transformation into a leisure district is a testament to Osaka’s dynamic evolution. Today, it serves as a must-visit destination for families, couples, and explorers alike.
Insiders recommend visiting during sunset for a stunning view of Osaka Bay and staying into the evening to see the Ferris wheel illuminated in vibrant colors. With its mix of entertainment, dining, and breathtaking architecture, Tempozan Harbor Village offers an immersive experience that captures the spirit of Osaka’s modern urban culture.

The new information centre at the Cairns Botanical Gardens Cultural Precinct will be a photographer's delight - ie if you are into weird shapes, lines, reflections with all mirrored walls & ceilings. Quite amazing really. This is just a little snippet of it.
The mirrors reflect the trees, the gardens and tropical blue skies. Will be magnificent in its own right when completed. Hope all these mirrors will stand up to any future cyclones that we might endure.

WANNA KNOW THIS HOME'S STORY...
Storytime with the Twins: 734 W. Cambridge Ave.
Once upon a time, cotton grew high in the fields at 7th Ave and Thomas. Cotton was one of the 5 Cs that the pre-war economy was based on in Phoenix: cotton, citrus, cattle, climate and copper. Cotton was used extensively during WWI to manufacture wartime necessities like tires, airplane wings and airships . The cotton industry crashed, primarily due to reduced demand, after the war. Many acres of these cotton fields were owned by a successful local grocer, J. W. Morris. Morris sold 101 acres to the city of Phoenix in 1934 for $400/acre . 104 additional acres were sold to the city by Dr. James Norton, of Norton Dairy, in 1934, for $350/acre. Norton also sold 6 acres of his Norton Dairy farm to the city for $350/acre. Phoenix Parks and Recreation, with the assistance of its president at the time, William Hartranft, created the vision of Encanto Park. Construction started in 1935 and was completed in 1938. The Enchanted Island amusement park opened in 1948 and is still a local attraction.
In 1943, J. W. Morris sold 20 acres of former cotton farmland along 7th Ave, and 25 acres along Thomas Rd, to developers, John H. Lester and L.M Hamman; the Encanto Vista subdivision was born. Encanto Vista means “enchanted view” in Spanish. There was a deed restriction on the land that specified that any homes built must be of a “$6,000 class or better”, and in time of war, that just wasn’t possible. While Lester and Hamman weren’t able to start construction on the homes just yet, the streets were graded in 1943. Fast forward to 1945, post-WWII, and the construction of the first 2 houses in Encanto Vista were underway (702 W. Encanto Blvd and 701 W. Lewis Ave). Due to its desirable location, unique “horseshoe” street layout and proximity to Encanto Golf Course and Park, Encanto Vista was a popular home destination for wealthy buyers. The homesites were marketed March of 1945 for between $1,175-1,275. Encanto Vista was built as a neighborhood of custom homes, many of which were built by prominent local architects and builders.
Peter Bert Hauskens, a.k.a P. B. Hauskens, was a successful local architect, a member of the American Institute of Architects. He advertised his services in the classified advertising section of the Arizona Republic in the 1940s. He is credited with designing the Florence City Hall building in 1948.
Mr. Hauskens and his wife, Alberta Hauskens, set their sights on building a family home for themselves and requested a building permit for a “concrete block residence and carport” on July 6th, 1948. They selected the homesite at 734 W. Cambridge Ave. The cost of construction was estimated at $10,000, according to the original building permit. The home was completed before the end of 1948.
The home has had a handful of owners since 1948, all adding their own touches, and pieces of history, to the home. The clain of title goes something like this…The Hauskens family only owned the home for about a year and then sold to Mr. And Mrs. John C. Pence on May 3rd, 1949. On February 29th, 1956 the Pence family sold to George S. and Dorothea Davison. George Davison quit-claim deeded the property to Dorothea on June 7th, 1957. On December 22nd, 1958, Dorothea sold the property to R. W. Chittester, husband of Frida E Chittester and G. Parks McNaull, husband of Agnes B. McNaull, as a co-partnership of Chittester- McNaull Co. Chittester was the president of Modern Glass Co. 3 years later, on May 23rd, 1961, Chittester-McNaull Co. sells the property to Vee Jayne Hofer, wife of Jacob H. Hoffer. On 1/21/1966, there was a deed release to Guild VeeJayne Van from Hoffer Vee Jayce, but I am not sure if they sold the property the same year because there is a permit record in the names of Dr. John Van Guilder and Jan Van Guilder from 1966. Jan Van Guilder was the director at Cambridge Day School. It has been said that the Van Guilders had many birds living at the home. In fact, neighbors have said that the central courtyard was once an massive aviary. The current owner tells a funny story that confirms the bird history. While renovating the home, he was replacing electrical outlets and came to one in the kitchen area, off the central courtyard. As he was unscrewing the outlet, some small debris fell onto the floor; it ended up being bird seed. A pizza delivery man who was delivering a pizza to the current owner immediately recognized the home from his childhood. He recalls going to the house after Cambridge Day School let out for the day. He reminisced about the black plaster pool with Asian characters/symbols at the bottom. The home was decorated with an Asian-inspired style, which extended to the gardens of the home, ala the Japanese Friendship Gardens. In 1995, after 29 years of ownership, the Van Guilder estate fixed up the house and it was put up for sale. On June 5th, 1995, the John Van Guilder estate sold to Bernard Steinfelt, the uncle of the current owner. Title was then transferred to the current owner, Ted Ciccone.
Encanto Vista was added the Phoenix historic register and the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The district is bounded by Windsor Ave, Encanto Blvd, 7th Ave. and 8th Ave. 734 W. Cambridge Ave. currently receives historic tax incentives for its inclusion as a conforming property within the district.

The dining area is finished with a reproduction sputnik chandelier. Recessed lighting has been added, along with a modern ceiling fan.
The living room is a perfect combination of mid-century modern and usonian styles, with features rarely seen in homes of this era. Some might call the room style ‘rustic modern’, but whatever you call it, it is exquisite. Soaring, vaulted ceilings adjoin an expanse of clerestory windows, which let in gorgeous light throughout the day. The ceilings are adorned with natural tongue and groove wood. A 20’ wall of glass overlooks the interior courtyard. A substantial brick-lined, corner fireplace harkens a modern chalet. Dal-Tile 18”x18” Continental Slate porcelain tile is accented with a decorative mosaic border. A formal dining room shares the natural wood tones and usonian vibe.
The master suite is quite spacious with an attached sitting room that would be perfect for a yoga/meditation space, sewing room, home office, exercise room, craft room, etc. Something you don’t see often in a 1940s Phoenix home are soaring vaulted ceiling with clerestory windows in all of the bedrooms. The Traffic Master commercial-grade carpeting comes with a 10-year warranty. There is a large walk-in closet next to the master bathroom. The master bath maintains a clean, minimalist look with expanses of white tile and Hansgrohe faucets.
The 3 secondary bedrooms all have vaulted and beamed ceilings with clerestory windows, Traffic Master commercial grade carpeting with a 10-year warranty and spacious closets.
A separate office/den is multi-functional and would be perfect for an office or playroom. There are gallery-style halogen track lighting with 8 fixtures. The
Traffic Master commercial grade carpeting comes with a 10-year warranty. There is also a large walk-in closet, which could be used as a workshop space.
One of the hall baths features the original retro-cool powder blue bathtub, toilet and sink. It is updated with penny-round mosaic floor tile, white tiled shower surround with penny-round tile accents and new reproduction mid-century fixtures. The other guest bathroom features period-appropriate basket-weave floor tile, porcelain vessel sink, classic tiled shower and retro-inspired mirror and lighting.
This home has been updated with many new home systems. There are 2 Trane HVAC systems with Trane programmable digital thermostats. An efficient Whirlpool 50-gallon gas water heater is newer, as well. There is an ADT Security System with entry, motion and smoke detectors (existing lease to be taken over by buyer).
This is a one-of-a-kind lot with over 150 feet of golf course frontage. There is a gate for golf course access, which many nearby residents use as a walking path. Check out the sunset photos taken from this home. Some of the best on the horizon in central Phoenix. The front and rear yards have Rainbird zoned irrigation systems.
There is a new front yard landscape design plan and rendering by SUSTAINscape, if someone wanted to take the landscaping to the next level.
Talk about next level outdoor living…it doesn’t get much better than this entertainer’s paradise rear yard. The deep diving pool is a Shasta Built Master pool with a salt-water system, sun shelf and QuikClean in-floor cleaning system. The pool is finished in a 3M quartz finish and has an LED color-changing pool light and fiber optic surround lighting. The 5 arching fountains can be remote-controlled.

The block fencing features a unique pattern of “cross” architectural breeze block and pop-out blocks. A generous 2 car carport offers a separate storage space and a brand new modern entry door.
Homes of this price point rarely offer this caliber of architectural details, distinctive finishes and stellar views. This home is truly designed for indoor/outdoor living; the outdoor spaces are a virtual extension of the livable space. The home's windows frame the exquisite views and the outdoor spaces were designed with privacy and entertaining in mind. With the home feeling very private and tranquil, it should be noted that the location is convenient to many destinations. Outdoor enthusiasts will love being close to Encanto Park. Within 1 mile, you will find great coffee shops (Vovomeena, D’Lish, Starbucks, Central Café, etc.), popular restaurants (Original Hamburger Works, Sacks sandwiches, Z Pizza, Wild Thaiger, Durants, Duck And Decanter, Zoes Kitchen, etc) and city parks (Encanto Park, Monterey Park, Margaret T Hance park and dog park, etc), It is a rare opportunity that a treasured residence such as this comes to market, especially at an affordable price.
