I‘ve never seen natural materials come together in such a cold, unwelcoming way. Can people really relax in this house?

Indeed, Frank Lloyd Wright would never…. It is a violation of all the natural environment. There is nothing organic, unlike all the FLW locations I’ve visited. I grew up near Hyde Park, and there’s a reason homes can’t be built on its shores…. This monstrosity dominates the landscape and Wright believed that structures should be part of it. He designed his to incorporate natural elements such as rocks, trees, and water features, blurring the boundaries between the interior and exterior. There is no blurring, this is a spotlight of nepotism!

How is this remotely inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright? The glut of materials pallet and the LOCATION! Never in a thousand years would he have done that to the landscape. What an insult.

Wow! If the words "tacky" and "gauche" were to be defined in pictures, this house would be the perfect definition!! Ugh, ugh, and double ugh!! 🤢 Besides that, the colors are horrendous! All in all, it's a monstrosity.

Such a grotesque display of wealth and it's sacrilegious to allude it to any of Frank Lloyd Wright's homes.

I wondered! I found the original 2021 listing ($45m) mentioned on Lohud... The build was grandfathered in -- when owners Monica and Jacob Frydman purchased the initial five acres of their now 10.7-acre estate in 2005, there were already three connecting structures in place on the rock ledge. They eventually demolished those buildings, and the new 14,800-square-foot limestone and glass house was erected within the footprint of the previous structures, allowing it to be grandfathered in.

I can’t help but think some people have too much money. With all of the poverty in the world this just seems over the top.

Classic Frank Lloyd Wrong.

Yeah, no. This property is sprawling and grandiose, yet sterile and bloodless. FLW’s designs had soul.

Love all the Buddha sculptures, I remember the story of him going on his sacred path to accumulate as much wealth as, oh, wait, never mind.

Penny-pinching is “Jacob Frydman’s method of doing business,” said David Wright, the lawyer for the company APF Fire Protection, citing a measly $6,700 bill. “Especially with regard to this project, he failed to pay several contractors, threatened lawsuits, or both.”

Frank lloyd wright would know better than to build on that site I live near this house and i can say without a doubt that after a heavy winter that house will be under water. In the spring the hudson river rises several feet and overflows its banks . This monstrosity would be improved by ending up on the bottom of the river !

@RedwoodGeorge

5 ай бұрын

Frankly, a think coating of silt on all that limestone would make it look a lot more natural, Wright would approve.

That "sunken" living room will be a real sinker when the river flows over

It’s so sad that the property is at such a gorgeous location and was decorated so tastelessly. It’s such a shame, so much potential gone to waste.

Thanks, I found the 2021 listing mentioned on Lohud at $45m: Ledgerock house, edge of the Hudson River, Hyde Park, Dutchess County. Designed by New Orleans architect Lee Ledbetter for Monica and Jacob Frydman, a real estate investor (Frydco Capital Group). Now the Frydmans want something smaller and more manageable for less entertaining, more travel and time with their grandchildren.

Frank would be rolling over in his grave. He was all about organic architecture and blending into the natural landscape. This is the antithesis of Lloyd-Wrights design philosophy

“Inspired by FLW”, it looks absolutely nothing like any of his designs. I don’t think he’d approve of this overly elaborate architecture.

TEMU / Wish / Great Value®️ Frank Lloyd Wright Seriously, I get the FLW “inspired”, but, for me, there’s something off with this. I believe it’s the furnishings. While luxurious, they’re too contemporary and have a commercial office space or showroom type of vibe. I do love the style and pitch of the roof and the levels, but there’s a lot going on here. Less is more.

This looks more inspired by Cali architecture. Growing up in the Hudson Valley, the Hudson River can definitely flood and snow is a thing in Upstate NY so this design is not the most practical...

What a terrible waste of resources to build any structure so close to the water. This house will inevitably be threatened due to weather. It's future damage or loss should come as no surprise to anyone!

How is this even able to use the name Frank Loyd Wright as an inspiration? Seems the complete opposite of what he would design and build.
