Former Clapton Home Sale To Benefit Japan
Former Clapton Home Sale To Benefit Japan
This amazing piece of architecture is a gift that just keeps on giving. First you have Eric Clapton who wrote music that spoke to the hearts of so many, then you have Arata Isozaki, premier architect of the Japanese New Wave Metabolism school of design. When you follow the link to the video, the contents will have you playing and replaying. You will be struck by the character in the faces of these two remarkable men, icons in their own time. When you realize this is the only residential design by Mr. Isozaki, you'll be scouring the Net for more information about him. We would love to know what brought them together to design this breathtaking home.
For those fond of the minimalistic nature of Japanese design through the centuries, the Metabolism movement will thrill you. It gives you space to breathe and unclutters your mind for creative evolution of thought. The 30' soaring ceilings, the triangular skylights, set off art and sculpture as they were meant to be. Form and function don't get any better than this! The location on Venice beach and the charming town of Venice make it even more desirable.
But the crowning glory is the never released, solo recording of what might be Eric's last instrumental that was found in the recording studio in the house, which comes with the house as part of its history! And . . . a portion of the proceeds will go to the Japanese relief effort! Sold yet? Pull yourself up off the floor and pick up the phone before it's gone!
