Though it was so many years ago, and I was just a boy, the house's design still resonates with me to this day. Unfortunately, subsequent owners have not been as kind to the property (55 Skywood Way)-- it now has been renovated to resemble some kind of Japanese structure, and it looks like some of those original lines have been lost. Hrmph. Sigh. Henrik Bull designed my family’s home in Woodside, CA back in 1964 I believe.

We had lunch with him on his house boat in Seattle. He's quite a guy and showed us some real beauty in Seattle. We're also trying to set up a shoot and the Paul Hayden Kirk designed Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kenmccown/3178456297/ PS

Thanks for the kind words above. I spoke with Pierluigi Serraino yesterday --- always interesting. Did I ask whether you knew James K. M. Cheng? He worked for us right after he graduated from U. Washington, and before Arthur Erickson and Harvard. He had also worked for Fred Basseti (is he still alive?) Jim also came back to our office for a month and helped us win the competition for the proposed new Capital City of Alaska in 1978. It was to be located just beyond Wasilla, made famous by a recent US VP camdidate. --- Say hello to Jim if you talk to him --- a great guy and the most talented young architect to ever come through our office. He showed me through the Shangri La sales office the last time I was in Vancouver. --- Also say hello to Barry Downs, another great guy. Let me know when you come to our area again. Till then, Henrik I got your card and am looking forward to seeing your final film — good luck on completing it for the summer of 2009! Thanks for the kind words above.
