Discover Cosanti Originals - the former home and studio of visionary Italian-American architect/artist Paolo Soleri in Paradise Valley, Arizona.

This extraordinary site features iconic earth-cast domes and sunken designs that showcase sustainable living principles. Famous for its handcrafted bronze windbells (whose melodic tinkling fills the air!), Cosanti is now a National Historic Landmark offering fascinating insights into ecological design. ššæ š Visitor Experience: Watch live bronze bell-casting demonstrations (usually mornings) š§āš§ Wander through organic concrete structures that seem to grow from the earth šļø Shop for one-of-a-kind windbells in the gallery (perfect AZ souvenir!) š Free self-guided tours (donations appreciated) š« #PhoenixTravel #SustainableArchitecture #ArtLovers #ArizonaHiddenGems #DesignDestination #ParadiseValley #HistoricLandmark #EcoArt #RoadTripStop #MadeInArizona
