Born in 1945, Edward Tuttle, the Seattle-born architect and cofounder of Paris-based Design Realization has died on 21 June 2020. Throughout his career, he enduringly kept a low profile, so much so that many lauded architectural tomes and periodicals are bereft of his quotes. Perhaps Tuttle’s success relied on his lifelong discretion. Unbeknownst to many, he was the man behind the main house owned by nefarious billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. His oeuvre of work was prodigious and these included prestigious residences, commissions for hospitality brands such as Park Hyatt, and of course, the Amanpuri resort located in scenic Phuket, Thailand. He also created designs for Jim Thompson’s textile products and a Chesterfield-inspired seating system for Wittmann called “Edwards”. Ed Tuttle (Credit: Interna Group)
Tuttle’s career evidently reached an apogee, as revealed in the debut of the 40-something-villa Amanpuri, Thailand in 1988, which later on snagged headlines across the world. The property was quoted as “groundbreaking” by Architectural Digest when it celebrated a milestone – its 30th anniversary; whereupon, its unparalleled guest service and stunning landscape were feted.
