Architecture and interior design thread

Wonderful. I note he is referred to as an architect in that article, whereas dezeen are at pains to point out he never formally qualified. I enjoyed this, from the dezeen comments about his Notting Hill home:

I see he even has the fruit in the bowl, and the trees outside bleached to tone with the blandness of the interiors. The puritanical pursuit of perfection by reductivism to the minimal is at least relieved by a fine sense of proportion, elegant detailing and very fine management of lighting. Appeals to the intellectual side but most of us prefer more body, blood, guts and fire. I do wonder if he craps finely divided ash though.

Still, I enjoy looking at the pics in his Phaidon vanity tome.
