This book is a monograph compiling the timeless beauty and exotic mysticism inspired by the architectural masterpieces of Ernesto Bedmar. Based in the Garden City of Singapore, Bedmar, originally from Argentina, brings a fresh and inescapably sublime relevance to his architectural creations. His work has climatic and cultural relevance in Southeast Asia - specifically Singapore, a melting pot of different peoples. The ethnically and culturally diverse staff of the firm draw upon various precedents, marrying them to a generous perception of the potential of modernism.
Displaying ten of the most significant of the firm's residential projects (including the Cairnhill House and the Trevose Houses) the book includes a foreword by leading architectural author Robert Powell and an interview with Bedmar. Beautifully illustrated with stunning colour photographs, it also includes presentation and working drawings, sketches, perspectives and detailed plans.
