Congrats on your new home purchase @Joeluvsarch! Our influence and work-along relationship -- Powell-Blackburn Design Ltd.-- was extensive and friendly with the Wayne Scott office. I can't think of a project from Wayne's office that didn't have some connection to myself or my partner Denis Blackburn. Both offices loved working with cedar siding and cedar shakes. Other signatures might be circular view windows that featured an outlook onto significant landscape features, steep roof lines that often carried down to the ground, skylights, and high interior ceilings.

I had to do a double take, never seen Groat from that angle

Makes it all the more apparent that they need a big roundabout there to replace that dog’s breakfast of an intersection.

Here's a link to a video featuring the home. Did you work on this project? Do you know who did?

 

[archited]

Yes, definitely Wayne Scott with my former partner Denis Blackburn (I was not directly involved in this project -- only administratively). Denis cut his teeth, professionally speaking, with Don Bittorf, Architect before we joined as a team in Powell-Blackburn Design, Ltd. There were a lot of cross-personality influences. All players in the design of your house have either moved away or have vacated their earthly mantle. (Wayne moved to Boston and from there I have lost touch; Denis and Don have passed away; I am now working out of southern California).

Take this discussion to PMs.

Moved the roundabouts discussion to a new thread.

How do I private message you? I would like to share my phone number with you if you are willing to chat about what you can remember about the team that designed my house.

WTF?

SOLD!

Hearing for something like $391k/suite or so which is healthy, especially for a secondary market like 124st.

That frees up some capital.

 

[MacLac]

Like for a Warehouse Park tower and/or a Clifton Tower?

Or to shore up capital in light of shifting debt market dynamics?

Boring! We want nice buildings!
