Sky
Thanks T! And thanks to Bruce, Julie, and Bo (Julie's intern) for the interview. We had a bumpy first few minutes as I was unfamiliar with the buttons to take call-ins, but we worked it out thanks to Leslie, the studio manager. I hope to have them back in the future for a follow-up show.
If you missed the interview, Bruce & Julie really went into detail about the vision for Sky, an environmentally styled, zero-energy development, surrounded by luscious orchards and gardens. I've visited the site and it's truly beautiful country and so cool that it was once a gladiolus farm. Gladiolus abound everywhere--in the fields, amongst the pine trees, and in multiple hues.
I could gush on, though you can read about it on their website, which I failed to mention last night,

Bruce & Julie are top notch and though some may say their vision is unrealistic, I say their vision is timely and will serve as a model for another option of how we can live graciously, while reconnecting the human spirit to the natural world through the built environment.
