Riverhouse Scores Design Awards HEALDSBURG ‘COTTAGE COURT’ PROJECT COMES HOME WITH THE GOLD By Christian Kallen
A small local housing project, Healdsburg Riverhouse, stole the show at this year’s prestigious PCBC trade show (the Pacific Coast Builders Conference) at Moscone Center in San Francisco. The theme was “The Future of Home,” and on awards night on June 22, the Riverhouse won not one but two gold medals, and three awards of merit, “Golden Nuggets,” from the building industry itself for excellence in the art of design.
The gold medals came in “Best Infill Site Plan Solution” and “Best Single Family Detached Home under 1800 SF”; the separate awards of merit were in “Unique Residential Detached Housing Solution,” “Residential Detached Collection of the Year” and finally “Home of the Year.” This last was a recognition that came at the awards ceremony itself and was a welcome surprise to Healdsburg resident Jim Heid. It was a strong showing for first-time developer Heid, 65. While he and his wife, Marty McGraw, and his daughter, Mattie Heid (now in Charleston, SC), moved to Healdsburg about 10 years ago, his career in landscape architecture had long taken him around the country.
Heid received his BA in landscape design, but after 15 years of frustration that his designs weren’t getting implemented, he went to MIT for a master’s in real estate development, “with the idea I would be able to mix my passion for great design with the reality of how to get things done.” He traveled to Denver, Phoenix, New Orleans, Charleston and elsewhere, often consulting or lecturing on small-scale development and turning himself into a guru of “small” real estate development. In 2016, now settled in Healdsburg, he founded CraftWork, a development company focused on intentional place-building. Under the CraftWork ➝ Design Awards, 4

The first City of Healdsburg fireworks show in three years took place Monday night, illuminating the high school neighborhoods with flashes of light and the pummeling of explosion. But the patriotism of the evening was muted by law enforcement actions both before and after the festivities—including a gunshot fatality on nearby Monte Vista Avenue at Lupine an hour after the big climax. Just after 11pm, Healdsburg Police Department received several 911 calls “reporting a shooting in the 200 block of Monte Vista Avenue,” said the department in a press release early on July 5. “Officers responded and found an unresponsive male laying on the sidewalk. He was pronounced deceased on the scene.” On Tuesday afternoon, July 5, Healdsburg police identified the victim as Luis Enrique Gonzalez, a 27-year-old resident of Windsor. Gonzales had previously been associated with gang activity; he was arrested in April, 2021 for a broad daylight knife attack outside the Healdsburg Community Center. Inquiries to the Deputy Attorney’s office for the disposition of that arrest had not been answered by press time. The investigation of the Monte Vista crime is ongoing. At the scene, police knocked on doors to ask neighbors if they had heard anything into the early morning hours of July 5. Police Chief Matt Jenkins confirmed that there is an active investigation within the police department of the crime, led by Officer Jason Olvera. Anyone with information about the
WIN Developer Jim Heid was honored for ‘Home of the Year’ among other accolades.
