ColdwellBankerBain6592I apologize for showing this again below, as I re-input this today: January 17th, 2010: This incredible house shown below the next picture, is going to be destroyed and needs someone to SAVE it! The Paul Thiry on the waterfront in Normandy Park. Perhaps by chance someone will happen to see these additional pictures and contact me. I'm doing this because a buyer needs to be found by this spring or sooner, time is imperative, the clock is running out. You can see the style of the concrete foundation structures echoed in several other structures below, such as one of the icons of the 1962 World's Fair:
Here are some more pictures, and I can send you a list of potential waterfront or near-waterfront lots to move this home to, via barge, For a price in the $200,000s the most professional house movers on the west coast, with insurance, will move this to a lot of your choosing near salt water and no more than about 14 feet above the waterline. I don't get any commission or kick-backs or fees from this, I would just like to see this piece of midcentury modern saved, and the memory of it's creator. I it's very do-able, and actually less expensive than building new! Email: moderntom@yahoo.com or call: 206-841-0003
Again, the support pillars seen below are almost exactly like the ones on the just opened brand new BMW factory designed by another world famous "starchitect" Zaha Hadid, pictured here, in Liepzig Germany:
Now here's our Paul Thiry, below:
Paul Thiry (known as "the father of NW Modernism") designed this house on the beach in Normandy Park has had a temporary reprieve while we try to find someone to buy it for ONE DOLLAR !!!!!!! and then a simple procedure to have Nickel Bros. (very experienced house movers) move it by barge it to your, probably salt-waterfront, new lot and reinstall it. Cheaper than building a new house, and you get a real piece of modern master history! and a house that looks beyond today in timeless design. But contact us SOON if you have any ideas because it's very likely it will be "ground down" into concrete rubble otherwise by the current owner of the land. Here's photos I took recently, observe the cool open staircase, and see the video below:
CLICK ON THE CENTER ARROW TO SEE THIS AMAZING VIDEO (below), taken recently of the incredible concrete and glass Thiry house: It's fate is in your hands: IT CALLS TO US: "SAVE ME" !!! call us for more information: 206-841-0003:

This one is almost complete, designed
by
an architect I know, (I took some of their work down to our booth at
the "Dwell on Design" dwell magazine conference in LA). Tom Holst has
sold their modern buildings before, in Seattle and Ballard
(EgglestonFarkas Architects), and helped with
Wallpaper magazine photoshoots of another amazing one they did (the
firm is recommended as THE
northwest area modern architectural firm in this most recent November's
Wallpaper* Magazine design issue). This nearly completed work of
purity is in Bellevue and the price is lowered now $200K to $899K, end
of Cul de Sac in the best "Cherry Crest" school district, much
requested, here's two more images, home is 4,350 sq ft ! on over three
