we heart architects
What an architect means to us?! Where do I start? I found this little nugget during a deep dive researching Richard Peacock, the original designer of our Clifton listing at 843 Clifton Hills Terrace. 1965. A time when good design was valued. And celebrated. When the local paper covered local architecture. Sigh.
On a happier note, and completely coincidentally, the top photo in this picture is Siddall Hall, the dormitory where I lived my freshman and sophomore years at the University of Cincinnati. In the foreground is the Siddall Caffeteria where Arlen and I met in 1980. The designer of our soon to be unveiled NEW WEBSITE, Pam Roberts, founder of Zero-Gravity Solutions, lived right down the hall from me in the dorm. Although we had no idea at the time, the good design was not lost on us!
