The 11,413 square-foot house with Gehry’s asymmetrical style is unique in mid-twentieth-century modern architecture.

Amyn Nasser’s consistently exemplary work keeps him in company with the most influential photographers worldwide. His work is always ahead of its time, and he is a pioneer in the field of image coloration. It is reminiscent of early 1960s artwork and has made a comeback to the world of photography because of Amyn’s secret formula in photo editing and photoshop utilizing a cinematic Technicolor metallic formula that no one else has. His ten feet wide architecture photos were the first to be printed on high-grade luxury super gloss aluminum.

With a singular ability to tell visual stories, Amyn Nasser’s vision will last much into the future as a unique story-teller of the human condition.
