Following graduation from U.B.C., Kon worked with Arthur Erickson, Architect, and then
spent three years in Tokyo with the renowned architect, Junzo Yoshimura, who designed the Japanese House for the
Museum of Modern Art in New York.
Returning to Vancouver, Kon worked with U.M.C.W.S., Architects and designed
such notable Vancouver landmarks as the two Physical Educational Buildings at U.B.C. and
the Masonic Vancouver Headquarters for BC and Yukon.
The current Uyeyama Residence showcases a Japanese/Canadian
Teahouse, Pond and Garden and one of Kon’s residential projects in Williams Lake looks like a plane from the sky and
the owner was often queried as to when she was 'taking off'.
The Feature Project uses new design and construction
concepts and is particularly suited for remote locations where finding a contractor is difficult.
