In Memorial - Alexander Vardy / by Mark Silva

On March 11 the world lost a brilliant mind that was helping to move the human race forward. His many academic and professional achievements you can lookup online and find in your pocket. A family lost a loving husband and an amazing trailblazing father. I lost a friend and client the likes of which I will never meet again. Alex was a fearless dreamer, but not the kind of dreamer that only dreams, the kind that figures out a way to make it happen. Thinking outside the box is an old term, but with Alex, there was nothing left of the box, only those thoughts and ideas that were outside. His fearlessness with respect to design so impressed me, I grew as an architect as a result of working with Alex and his loving family. I will truly miss Alexander Vardy.

You can see the very unconventional plan and design we came up with for their dream home. Sadly, we did secure a development permit but it had not yet been built. It would have been a stunningly beautiful and unique home befitting a brilliant dreamer of reality, and his wonderful family.
