I was lucky enough to go on a tour of a major new development recently. However I'm not allowed to publish any photos which can identify the site until after construction has been completed and it is open to the public. Although I took a lot of pictures for now I can only upload three.
A master work by Richard Meier.
"Glimpsed through the entry gate, the public facade is mostly opaque gridded Corbusian composition, floating above piloti, and set behind a razor-smooth lawn and an auto court stained to a charcoal hue. The owner, an art collector, welcomes the characterization of the home as "an efficiency apartment above a museum." Hidden from view is the home's primary facade, an open wall of glass and steel overlooking a reflecting pool. Meier's signature elements are clear: the exposed interior, transparency of structure, ceremonial stair leading to an outdoor landing, and unceasing white-on-white crispness."
