Speechless in Seattle

Date Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 at 11:54 pm Posts By Ryan Brown

Buy this Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece (MCMM) for $1!

It was designed by Paul Thiry, the ‘father of Northwest modernism’, and built in 1962. Here is a drawing from a 1967 magazine cover, and a full video tour below (well worth the 10 minutes):




Of course there is a catch, the new owner must pay ~$240,000 to have this ~200 ton house moved off of the waterfront lot . It gets worse, from the Seattle Times article:

It breaks the sisters’ hearts, then, to know that their childhood home — designed by Paul Thiry, the so-called “father of Northwest modernism” — risks being destroyed unless someone steps forward — probably within days — to claim it for its $1 price tag. The current owners, who live next door, have other plans for the site.

Full details are available on the house movers website here: Nickel Brothers

If only there was a MCM lover from Seattle who might want to truck this beauty down to Austin…

1011 Canyon Edge – Sketchup Flyby

Date Thursday, February 18th, 2010 at 11:34 pm Posts By Ryan Brown

One of the great things about specializing in modern architecture is that I often have access to architectural drawings & models of a home (in addition to beautiful photos). In the case of 1011 Canyon Edge I have some of the original architectural drawings, but also a Sketchup model:





Since Google enabled the integration of Sketchup models into Google Earth, I thought it would be cool to record a flyby through the canyon. Let me know what you think in the comments below, and don’t forget to come by the open house on Sunday!


Required Disclaimer: The Sketchup model and/or google earth data may not be to scale or 100% accurate.
