Peter Marino in the New York Times
Posted on the 27th of July, 2010
Ferrier Baudet spotted this article in the New York Times about Peter Marino, New York based architect, as famous for his luxurious projects as for his unconventional outfits!
Peter Marino has designed a number of high-fashion boutiques for Chanel, Dior, Fendi, Zegna and just attended the opening of his latest creation: the new Louis Vuitton’s store in London.
Catherine Baudet’s brother, Ian Ferrier, has been one of Peter Marino’s close collaborators for over 10 years.

Childcare Centre / Alejandro Muñoz Miranda Colours!
Posted on the 4th of July, 2010
Ferrier Baudet love this sophisticated child care centre in El Chaparral – Andaloucia, Spain designed by Alejandro Muñoz Miranda.
The building displays an amazing range of bright colours: all communal spaces are identified by multicoloured glass while the classrooms have simple clear windows, giving the children a clear sense of space.
Ferrier Baudet like to use inspirational examples as ‘idea generators’ in their current child care projects.

Creative Women Architects
Posted on the 31st of October, 2008
Zaha Hadid is probably the most famous female architect in the world. Not only does she design amazing buildings, like the London Aquatic Centre, but she also designs shoes. Like many of the starchitects now, Zaha is designing luxury products. Norman Foster and Phillipe Starck are both designing bathroom fixtures.
It shows the versatility and creativity of architects!

Fab Pre-Fab
Posted on the 31st of October, 2008
At the recent ACSA conference in Adelaide there was an interesting presentation on a retirement village that was fully sustainable. The residents recycled their rubbish, harvested their water, and grew their own vegetables. The housing was pre-fabricated, but quite traditional.
We found this example of pre-fab housing on The Cool Hunter - very modern and very beautiful.
