Good crowds and good money at Gaze Architectural
Above: A set of four sandstone pier finials in the form of pine cones from Spixworth Hall each approx 24"high x 15"wide, sold for £1,900.
Gaze architectural furnishings and statuary sale on Saturday 8 August 'drew a large crowd' according to Carl Willows head auctioneer at the sale. He was extremely pleased with the results and said, "Both vendors and buyers went away happy. In excess of eighty per cent of items sold and sold for good money.
To start with york stone is making ridiculous money! A single york stone flag approx 50" x 66" x 2" made £460 and another flag approx 65½" x 62" x 2" thick made £600. Bricks made 80p which is good for us. . .

Incorporate the architectural
JULIE Silber from Sotheby's says, "Incorporate architectural antiques in your home to set it apart from the competition.
In today’s real estate market, there is an overabundance of inventory. How can you ensure that your property makes a buyer’s short list? Most of the homes that buyers are shown are spec grade. They have so many choices and sellers need to do whatever they can to set their home apart from the comparable. One way to achieve a memorable showing to a buyer is by incorporating architectural antiques into the design of the property.
Home staging has become an essential tool in our marketplace, but the placement of architectural antiques can truly make a home memorable. Architectural antiques can enhance the exterior of a home that needs a lift, or add layers of charm and sophistication to the interior. An antique front door from a French chateau can literally sell a house."

Recession fuels attendance
IN THE UK and the US, visitor numbers to National Trust properties and artist homes have seen a sharp rise. “There is definitely something in the air, with growing numbers seeking out the simple pleasures offered by the National Trust,” says Fiona Reynolds, director general of the UK-based National Trust. Total visitors received in May were 1.98m, an eight per cent increase from the same month last year. Overall, attendance has climbed 24 per cent so far versus 2008.

Open plan living on a budget
THERE is stylish decluttered living, and there is photographer Leo Ribbens's Antwerp warehouse. With its prison-issue beds, nailed-together sofa and a bath that resembles an agricultural feeding trough, it is a brutally industrial space – all bare concrete, exposed brick and raw wood. "I like functional materials," Ribbens says. "But my home never feels cold." His house is an example of recycled living at its most extreme: he rummages in skips, begs timber merchants for their leftovers and scours demolition sites. "It's a game for me to spend as little as I can."

Hundertwasser's Ultimate Stand
INTERNATIONALLY renown artist and architect Frederick Hundertwasser could never have dreamed of the impact he was going to have on a small, rural community. . . It all happened as a result of a public toilet - probably the most unlikely building to have ever captured international visitor attention anywhere.
The finished product is a work of art, from the grass roof, to gold balls, ceramic tiles, bottle glass windows, mosaic tiling, copper handwork, cobblestone flooring, individual sculptures and a living tree integrated into the design structure. Hundertwasser worked in consultation with the Bay of Islands College who's students prepared ceramic tiles that were used throughout the building. The bricks came from a former Bank of New Zealand building, and both young and old from the local community volunteered services to the construction process.

Eco Factor
CREATIVITY knows no boundaries, especially when it comes to eco-artists who try to show the worth of reusing materials which are no longer in use.
Tokyo Wonder Site is investigating the possibilities of rejected materials and drift rubbish as an avenue for creative exploration through a series of artwork by artistic environmentalists. Participants include some renowned names such as Fuji Hiroshi, Ohmaki Shinji, and Yodogawa Technique. The artwork is being displayed at the Global Environment Information Center (GEIC) in an exhibition called “Is it Waste?”
