The people’s choice for favourite architecture power couple would surely go to Ray and Charles Eames. Curious facts: Ray died on 21st August 1988, exactly 10 years after Charles died and exactly 8 years after Warwick was born. Pictured is of course the Eames House, or Case Study House 8, Los Angeles 1949. Photo via […]

McGlashan Everist

Favourite Australian architects: and finally, no retrospective on the work of McGlashan Everist would be complete without the truly exceptional Heide II. Its first incarnation was as a house for patrons of the arts, John and Sunday Reed, but now forms part of the beautiful Heide Gallery. Bulleen 1968. #architecture #architect #architectural #design #designer #architecturelovers […]
