The Byrne Residence, Arizona

.

Designed by William P. Bruder, built by Bill & Carol Byrne and presently owned by David & Martha Bills. It's located in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The design concept of this residence was the creation of a series of abstract ‘canyon walls’ and spaces that emerge as metaphoric geological gestures from the natural desert site. The corbeled concrete masonry and metal clad frame walls embrace the residence’s main entry, living, and circulation/gallery spaces and provide focus to the angular geometry of the building as it grows from the asymmetrical, tapering alignments of the ‘canyon walls,’ which in turn extend the design out into the undisturbed natural desert site, creating outdoor living spaces and courtyards.

Once again Nolan thanks for your great work that i'm pleased to share with the MotArt Journal readers. Frank

The Warhawk was used by the air forces of 28 nations, including those of most Allied powers during World War II, and remained in front line service until the end of the war.

Laverda V6

The V6 is a truly revolutionary motorcycle and is undoubtedly the star attraction of the Laverda Corse collection. Initially conceived as a development test bed the V6 has been dubbed the ‘world’s fastest labaoratory’, and with good reason. On it’s debut track appearance at Paul Ricard it thundered down the Mistral straight at 283KPH, a figure barely credible at the time. The V6 has more in common with a contemporary Formula 1 car than the other works racing machines of the day. The V6 was and still is, an extraordinary machine... Read more
