#FantastyFriday – because it’s never not fun to travel virtually to end the week! This month, with the spring season getting underway, a focus on nature! Borrowed from architecturaldigest.com, these structures take the term back to nature to another level. 📷 Photo: Dan Chavkin . Though there are midcentury era homes scattered throughout the world, the biggest collection is in Palm Springs. Case in point: the Frey II house. Named for the Palm Springs local who designed it, U.S. architect Albert Frey, the home served as his longtime residence. He built it into the hillside at the west end of Tahquitz Canyon Way. As its name implies, Frey House II was the architect’s second home in Palm Springs, and he moved in when it was finished in 1964. . #fantasyfriday #rikdevoest #yvrrealtor #northvancouver #vancouver #westvancouver #vancity #northvan #britishcolumbia #vancouverrealestate #vancouverrealtor #vancouver #realestate #yvrrealestate #realtor #yvr #vancouverhomes #realestatevancouver #vancitybuzz #realestateagent #bcrealestate #westvancouverhomes #realtorlife #property #realestatemarket #exprealty

The incredible, historic Denny Mansion in the Windermere neighborhood of Seattle is set to be demolished. This building is still in great condition and could be restored with other housing developed around it thoughtfully; however, developing new housing and refurbishing an old structure is not cost beneficial for developers whose primary focus is on their bottom line. It is sad stories like this that motivate our company to continue the work we do to restore older homes and buildings, while thoughtfully developing around them. We can expand housing without destroying architectural history; it just takes more time and money, which is typically the case when you try to make thoughtful forward progress. https://lnkd.in/dCz4t4ds

The Old Richmond Historic District, specifically highlighting the area around 4th Street, represents a significant portion of the city's origins. This area encompasses most of the original plat of Richmond, established in 1816, along with its subsequent expansions. Notably, 4th Street—initially called Front Street—was the first street in Richmond. It served as a major thoroughfare before the development of the National Road.   This district is characterized by its architectural diversity, featuring dense clusters of late Federal and Greek Revival cottages and townhouses, which are interspersed with Victorian and early 20th-century homes and several churches. The district contains over 213 structures deemed historically significant.   The inclusion of this area on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 underscores its historical and cultural value, highlighting properties like the one on 4th Street as integral parts of national heritage. Being listed on this prestigious register not only celebrates the district's rich architectural diversity and historical significance but also enhances the property's prestige and recognition, affirming its importance nationally.   For any property-related questions or investing opportunities, contact us directly at:  https://lnkd.in/gM3F_YMY   #renovations #newhome #realestate #realtors #propertymanagement #renaissanceproperties #RPM #richmond #indiana #turnovers

People love tall buildings. They always have and always will. Tall buildings extend our horizons and I believe there’s something innately human about the desire to metaphorically reach towards the stars. Buildings that taper into the sky aren’t new. Throughout history, they have created a strong sense of identity and place, enabling cities to be known and loved for the striking silhouettes they trace across the sky. Co-created by their users and shaped by the community around them, tall buildings – be they brand new or old structures adapted and re-used – are an incredible way of breathing new life into the city and a beautiful way of sustaining London. However, the days of sterile, single-use tall towers will soon be a thing of the past. We should start to imagine tall buildings as ‘vertical villages’ supporting a rich mix of uses. These villages need to be punctuated with ‘village commons’ that provide spaces for interaction to promote wellbeing, as well as being centres of innovation, creativity and community.
