Designer Homes - Frank's New Gehry Residence (VIDEO)

Frank Gehry is an absolute genius when it comes to designing cutting edge architecture. Gehry has so been a huge influence on a lot of modern architectural masterpieces. Innovative is the word that comes to mind when I try to describe his use of fluid shapes and original materials in the structures he creates. You can’t just call them buildings; they are truly standing pieces of art.

If he invests that time in effort in projects he’s hired to do, what would his own home look like? Take a look at the New Gehry Residence in LA to find out!

As Inhabitat states “the materials used in the construction of the building are extremely advanced, as only an architect of Gehry’s stature could muster. Large PVC-framed double glazed windows, gypsum plasterboard walls and an advanced timber framing system are all part of the new house. Of course, in one of his callbacks to his earlier work Gehry has used, once again, titanium for the roof and siding materials.

“If it seems like this is simply a McMansion, be assured, it is not. This is the work of a modern genius, an artist in his prime. The New Gehry Residence is a masterful adaptation of the architectural typological expression of the modern American homeowner.”
