(appearances may be deceiving)
Narkweather Architects’ Incorporated, is comprised of
four unheard of, and probably to remain so,
architects/fishermen/woman. They have no “mission
statement”, not a “chess master” amongst them, and are
not even household names. .They listen to their client’s
wants, needs and dreams which becomes the “mission,” as
no two clients are alike. The Gang of Four (no, not that
Gang of Four) is also cognizant of today’s “green
scramble”, along with the adroitly dropped catchwords’
(in English, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Irish, Spanish,
Italian, and Hebrew) i.e., sustainable, eco friendly,
recyclable, LEED, organic, and their favorite, (who
makes this stuff up??) “environmentally friendly
synthetics”. The Narkweather principals have for the
most part eschewed the fads and hot topics, and relied
on their “oh so pedestrian motto”, of “common sense”
(handed down from some lost race). The following four
projects (four only due to potential reader ADD) are
examples of bringing to fruition the wants, needs and
dreams of their clients. Three structures have been
performing for years and one is still under
construction. An Armenian church, and a Pasadena
residence are dying to be included on the site.
WARNING: this site has been determined by the
California State Board of Architectural Licensing to be
misleading, and a threat to cogent thinking and one’s
attention to details. There is only one licensed
architect in the mix, while the four principals are
merely pigments of the architect’s imagination. When
delving into a new project, the architect sometimes
channels one of the Principals, and his sister in-law, a
Hollywood make- up artist does the magic for press
releases /photo shoots/whatever.
