Sienna Architecture Is Closing

The blog Portland Architecture has posted about the closing of Sienna Architecture. The firm has been in business for 58 years.
As recently as last summer, the firm employed 45 people in its local office and 9 more in Seattle.


As I was scrolling through the post, I was struck by the similarity of a wall-hanging in the home (pictured above), of "a West Hills renovation of a small cottage into a dazzling modern residence..." that appeared in the the December 2008 issue of Metropolitan Home magazine.



We hope that some new firms will emerge from the Sienna ashes.

its always sad when we see someone in our industry go under; like you say (and we agree), hopefully somthing good will come out of this, both sides of the pond (us/uk).

Sometimes I am thinking about global evolution when reading such posts. Everything in this world comes and goes, it doesn't mean it was bad or good, it means it needs to go to let others start.
At my blog Casa Di Luce I also posted on this lighting fixture, quite interesting, itsn't it?
