The Amangiri hotel really caught our eyes, wow!
With concrete blackened steel and clean lines in a tonal palette, the architecture at Amangiri is breathtaking. A bold statement with stone flooring and natural timbers, the luxury resort has been done up in a way to fit into the raw desert that surrounds it.
It’s located smack in the middle of America, Amangiri Resort in South Canyon Point
The collaborative effort between architects Marwan Al-Sayed, Wendell Burnette and Rick Joy created the iconic Amangiri. The design is harmonious with its surroundings, representing Native American Navajo and Pueblo hogan architecture, mirroring the caves regularly found on the desert landscape.
The unique resort uses shadow and light with sharp concrete geometry softened by an earthen palette and selection of materials drawn from the Utah desert .
Traditionally a substrate applied to a base material to achve a smooth surface for the application of paint or other materials, gesso has been an important material in traditional European arts.
Gesso is created by combining gypsum powder and hide glue, which is then applied hot in layers then sanded between each layer. Alexander Lamont uses gesso to create special finishing effects.
Lamont’s renowned Antique Ivory Crackle Tusk was created to resemble that of a burnished surface of old ivory. It has the same craquelure of an antique sheet of ivory but no elephant was involved in its creation.
