living in the sky

found in the new york times, a slide show of an amazing apartment 35 stories high in the pyramid atop Seattle's Smith Tower

design challenge as it must have been, this place is amazing. the owner petra franklin is most inspiring, she had done a lot in her life. she became friends with the famous glass blower at age 6 whom gave her the amazing blue chandelier in the center of the apartment.
she brokered her own deal to aquire this place and scavenged most of the materials and help to get it together.

pretty cool space!!
