Frank Gehry: Major Breakthrough

I came across this video of Frank Gehry sharing how he was influenced by artists who would not be as concerned with the finished detail but more so in the overall composition.

Here is a photo of one of Frank's earlier works (before he starting making fish buildings and curved metal formed buildings)

Jasper Johns' "False Start"

Simple life Manhattan: a 90-square-foot microstudio

It is time for spring cleaning. I am thinking about selling the piano, sofas, beds, large flat files, lawn equipment, BBQ, books, tapes, and a lot of other things that should really find themselves in the garbage. Surprising to me, this video is a bit inspiring for me. It shows how one can enjoy life with, well, not much stuff. Check it out and let me know if this appeals to you.

What Are People Saying About Lane Architecture + Design?

Working with Larry Lane was an exceptionally good experience. Building anything is stressful, time consuming, and at times, seemingly pointless when you can simply, well, do something else! But if you want your vision, your own baby, Larry Lane can help deliver. Mine was a Bar & Grill in Park Slope Brooklyn.

His company was prompt, direct, and worked with other companies that were professional and detailed. The plans he provided for our space were of perfect quality, and were accepted by the building department upon first submission. That is because he knew the laws and requirements for building my establishment.

He surrounds himself with artisans that know their craft, and is stern in removing them from the roladex if they prove otherwise. Thank goodness the contractor had to follow the plans!

I highly recommend him for your next project. If you have an artistic vision, he’s the one who can put it on paper. If you don’t have a vision at all, and are the business guru, he can envision the space for you. He really is great at what he does.

“Recently, Mr. Lane accompanied me on a walkthrough of an office building and provided his professional opinion from top to bottom, indoors and outdoors. His professional evaluation service is priceless, especially at the acquisition stage! He pointed out the zoning and code issues that will need to be addressed and how the building can be more of a profitable investment by explaining what would be required to increase the rentable area (structural, mechanical and space planning concerns). He also pointed out some of the new design considerations I needed to know before investing (accommodating the physically handicapped, choosing "green" interior finishes, building bulk restrictions, adding skylights and changing the façade of the building on purchase to attract prospective tenants).

Frankly, I didn't even have a clue about these details which would definitely increase the value of my investment! Then, to add icing on the cake, Mr. Lane provided a detailed check list of the things I need to be aware of before investing in commercial real estate from an architectural point of view. I was absolutely blown away by this priceless document as it has already saved me a ton of time, money and energy as I consider how much I have literally lost and wasted over the years because I didn't get a heads up from those other architects on key things that would save me time, money and energy.

The coolest thing about working with a true professional like Mr. Lane, who actually cares about the success of my project, is the comfort of knowing that someone with trained eyes is looking out for me and my project's best interests from the very beginning. This is so much better than only relying on the contractor or my expertise, because there are so many details that we don't know when it comes to a building's construction and design. I strongly recommend that if you are working on a residential or commercial project do whatever is necessary to get Mr. Lane on your team from the very beginning!”

“I think that you did an absolutely phenomenal job at showing what could be done on the property with your feasibility study. It is a brilliant plan and it makes it so much more tangible as to how one can put this project together.”

-Linda Dawson

ReMax Realtor, Bridgewater, NJ

“We are just really happy with it. We were please with the whole process which generally produced results that were far better than what I even imagined. We were very pleased with your services… All of our expectations were exceeded.”

-Dr. Victor Belfi

Client

“I am so happy that we are working with Lane Architecture + Design. We really needed your architectural expertise on this project.”

-Iwona Herdzik

Beton Builiders

“I like the way you talk to your clients. I sometimes forget that they don't understand the DOB (Department of Buildings) language.”

Mitra Mehr

NYC Expediter

“After listening to Larry's presentation to our Coldwell Banker Realtors, it was evident that Larry is a seasoned Architect with an amazing talent for great design and a wealth of information about all aspects of the building process. Larry is highly recommended to our clients.”

-Marilyn Grum

Coldwell Banker Realtors, Basking Ridge, NJ

"We are most pleased with how the apt. came out. Since we were largely absent during the project, I especially appreciate the ease of working with you and Beton. I would definitely recommend you or give a positive reference."
