Sensitively photographed, Rory encapsulates the playful restoration of the heritage Missionstrasse House in Basel by Buchner Bründler Architekten.
ory Gardiner has established a name in the global design community, working with some of the world’s most renowned architects. Growing up in Melbourne, Rory was introduced to architecture photography at an early age. “My dad was an architect and a keen hobbyist photographer,” the photographer reflects. “When I was sixteen, we did a road trip through New Zealand where he introduced me to the camera. From that point, I just became more and more obsessed with photography.” While finishing his photography degree in Melbourne, Rory was short-listed for a photography competition in London. This one-week trip turned into something more permanent, and he never flew home. “I lived and worked in London for the best part of a decade, and at first it wasn’t easy to establish myself there as the standard of work is so high,” he says. “The breadth of the creative community in London blew me away - something I’d underestimated before moving there.”
