Tom Ford +Tadao Ando = A Ranch in Santa Fe

Tom Ford the prolific American designer  

enlisted one of the world’s greatest architects to design

 his New Mexico dream home – a sprawling, luxe ranch.

The result is a palatial wonderland with

 sweeping landscapes,

genius play of light and shadow,

vast,minimal,quiet and 

serene...

Light is the origin of all being.

Light gives,with each moment, new form to being

 and new interrelationships

to things,and architecture condenses light

to it's most concise being. The creation of 

space in architecture is simply the 

condensation and purification 

of the power of light.

Tadao Ando is the only architect to have won all four of architecture's most prestigous prizes: the Pritzker, Carlsberg, Praemium Imperiale, and Kyoto Prize. He's best known for his cast-in-place concrete works, and for design that conforms to the landscape, rather than the other way around. His work is also infused with a Japanese sensibilty that embraces spareness, and minimalism.
