I just finished this — as in just finished it, in the past 10 minutes — and I started crying like an idiot by the end, and I’m still trying to get myself together here before I file this away on the bookshelf, but this is highly recommended. If you know nothing about the Tragically Hip, read this book anyway. Go find the records and Downie’s solo stuff, too, but seriously, read this book.

Happy Valley Residence by Michael Barclay, Portland, Oregon

I blogged about this amazing residential home, whose win for the 2011 myMarvin Architect's Challenge was totally unsurprising, several months ago. Barclay totally feng-shui'd the entire place so flawlessly and was able to maintain a Frank Lloyd Wright mood without losing to his influence completely. This is a great video of all different parts to the home, exterior and interior. You'll fall in love with the entrance (well, the first space you see as you walk in), without a doubt!!
