In the heart of the Galisteo Basin, on the perimeter of Santa Fe, New Mexico, and adjacent to the spectacularly scenic Turquoise Trail, lies a unique and creative collaboration of passion and brilliance. Acclaimed for his graceful, zen-like designs combined with an imaginative use of natural light, Japanese born architect Tadao Ando and a visionary American fashion designer/filmmaker have created a masterpiece in Cerro Pelon Ranch.
You can’t really say what is beautiful about a place, but the image of the place will remain vividly with you. If I can create some space that people haven’t experienced before, and if it stays with them, and gives them a dream for the future, that’s the kind of structure I seek to create. —TADAO ANDO
