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.

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.

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

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.

Have you been hanging out with the major 'O?

It's well known in the real estate industry across Canada that many property investors are selling assets to shore up their balance sheet, in response to shifting debt market conditions (especially upon renewal), market softness, stubbornly high costs and generally declining values.

^ some of those factors apply less to Edmonton than other places across the country -- as a consequence I am very suspicious of "general" economic conditions being applied locally.to Edmonton. Money marketeers should be sussing out the rosiest opportunities -- the problem, generally, with Canada is that the financial decision makers are cloistered in TO which for Economic prospectus' for the Big E might as well be in Timbuktu. I had been holding out hope for CW bank but now that has been purchased by a bank out of PQ (I hope they at least look at western Canadian metrics independently of Ontariario). So I say to those property investors that you refer to "buy Alberta"!
