- Today AD travels 2 hours north of New York City to tour 46 Ledgerock Lane, an immense 10-acre home perched on the Hudson River. Inspired by the work of legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the property is lined with five kinds of wood, and countless types of stone, while legions of windows offer uninterrupted views of the river beyond. One of only a handful of properties built on the Hudson River, the house is a rarity since the law now prohibits building new homes less than 100 ft from the riverbank.

Frank Lloyd Wright would NEVER.
***Edited: WE DID IT FOLKS! Architectural Digest edited the title to remove the reference to FLW. Order is restored in the universe.
you beat me to it
Said that before I saw your comment. It's almost awful; don't think it's going to age well at all.
This 👆🏿
You have to keep in mind, he was limited by materials. He would never because, he could never
I course he would never. He was too busy flying planes with his brother.
Wright is twirling in his grave because someone thinks his architecture inspired this
Take a look at falling water as well as his colombian works
“Twirling” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@DEATHBYFLYINGCDSif you think this is even close to falling waters you need to reevaluated your architectural opinions.
@@Cwrong thank you for saying that! I sincerely hoped someone other than myself would speak up!!
@@Cwrong Compare the interior layout sometime.
Why does it feel so chaotic though? I'm lacking composition and harmony. it really reminds me of a massive hotel, that couldn't stop adding stuff, building a block next door every time opportunity shows.
Yes! I totally felt like it’s in this most serene calm setting but feels the total opposite of calming
Hotel was what I thought too
Because it is chaotic, it’s a disaster
this is literally the antithesis of Frank Lloyd Wright
Miami vice monstrosity on the Hudson 😢
LOL Until you said that I didn't know how to place this horror so exactly in words. *still laughing.
Wright would be appalled by this monstrosity.
His whole MO was having the architecture fit into the surroundings. This… this doesn’t do that.
YESSS. Thank you for pointing that out!
agreed
Frank is rolling over in his grave @@SB-xt5jk
this house will look gorgeous under water
Terrible finishes. Way too glossy. They're cold. It's really uncomfortable looking. Wish there was more warmth in the materials/finishes.
The heavily varnished finishes are that of a hotel lobby or commercial space, needed in areas of high traffic and general public use.
This is the opposite of FLW inspired. Looks like a house that some hotel group built.
Hotel lobby and conference room vibes for sure!
I thought it looked like a upscale Hotel. Kind of sterile feel to it. They probably just let the designers go to town.
I‘ve never seen natural materials come together in such a cold, unwelcoming way. Can people really relax in this house?
I see a slip and fall/trip hazard across the entire house. The picture above the bed in the primary room is all I need to see to know everything about the owner. 😂
I went back in the video to see lol. Yes slip and fall for sure
😂
Yes, but they do look like a nice happy couple...I hope they are.
In the painting it looks like the lady has tiny legs and is riding on his shoulders
the interior looks very... 90's
totally. lots of shiny surfaces
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!
agreed.
bad day?
"Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright" in the same way "Ice Ice Baby" was inspired by Queen and David Bowie's "Under Pressure." 🙄
😋😋
Haha!
Architectural Digest needs some history lessons on architecture.
Having money doesn't mean having taste: the level of tackery is far too much...
My sentiments exactly
Inherited wealth vibes.
It looks like a massive (fancy) office.
😂😂
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.
that... portrait of the owners over the bed
Fancy! Whoever had the megabucks to build this had enough megabucks to grease the local authorities. The 100’ setback rule long predates this building, not to mention septic setbacks. Payola.
Nothing new. Selling out their soul and nature to the highest bidder.
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.
Nothing says Buddhism like a gaudy 20,000 sq. ft. tribute to tasteless materialism.
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.”
"mansion" and "Frank Lloyd Wright" do not belong in the same sentence
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.
He said they didn't even live in this house. They lived in the city. Way too much money. It's a shame so many have no homes.
Henry Hobson Richardson, Frank gehry , Buckminster Fuller, are also architects
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 !
Frankly, a think coating of silt on all that limestone would make it look a lot more natural, Wright would approve.
Such a grotesque display of wealth and it's sacrilegious to allude it to any of Frank Lloyd Wright's homes.
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.
Such as...
Agree, it is hideous; I'm not sure they could have made it worse had they actually tried.
opinions.
@@sskunky6934 how do you know that they hadn't?
You can’t buy taste
Absolutely vile. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
Classic Frank Lloyd Wrong.
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.
I get that it's all sales talk, but seeing FD Roosevelt sitting at that modern dining table as a little boy is really a stretch by any imagination 😂
All those idols are unsettling😮
That "sunken" living room will be a real sinker when the river flows over
Eyesore on the Hudson!
Originally listed at 45M now reduced to 25M.
And not even worth that.
25 Million is a bargain for this type of Opium.
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.
Yeah, no.
This property is sprawling and grandiose, yet sterile and bloodless. FLW’s designs had soul.
Is the frank Lloyd Wright inspiration here with us? Also, who wants to be that close to the Hudson river especially with climate change causing rising rivers?
The only climate change is in your Brain
It's awful in every way. Screams "look we have money"!
And that’s the rub. When people like Al Gore, Bill Gates, etc. start selling their beach-front mansions, THAT’S when I’ll worry about climate change raising sea levels!
I said the same thing
It's giving HOTEL.
I'd be concerned if the Hudson ever overflows it's banks that house will go under.
Came here to ask how often it has been flooded because of rising river level 😂
That's why they have those 100ft requirements for new builds now
When you're this rich, you don't care ;o)
That's my concern too
if only
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.
This is an architectural atrocity. This place looks as cold as the heart of my ex.
This is a a beautiful montage and marriage of contemporary yet modernization of traditional design . This is beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful footage.
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
Nice on the outside. I would love to be so secluded but would definitely decorate the interior a lot differently.
Feels sterile, more museum than house. Gives the vibe of the snobbish arrogant NYC rich person.
I was just thinking the same thing. Very stiff and dark inside.
Agreed. Nothing to do with FLW. Nothing naturalistic.
Maybe Japanese inspiration, but there absolutely no FLW. Absolutely nothing, the owners are delusional
But FLW liked Japanese influence.
The way the bedroom wall didn't go all the way to the ceiling was sorta FLW. The warm color palette.
I'm glad they didn't do a FLW kitchen or the Cherokee Red.
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...
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.
I think its perfect for jazz nights 🖤
Maybe I'm just a little Tipsy but at first i thought Jeff Bezos was the guy showing us around 😅
A security nightmare
😂
I love the setting but this monstrosity belongs elsewhere. Jersey Shore? 😂
How much is the flood insurance on this place?
theres no way any company would insure this for floods! unless they pay 1M annually maybe?
Priceless
Whats the PRICE on this Dump ?
24 million
Cleaning the bathroom mirror is a chore enough sometimes. Those windows would be ignored until the end. lol
So much potential but they just missed it. The aesthetic is chaotic and fragmented.
why is this house white if it’s supposed to blend into nature?
This house is so cold feeling and somehow looks so dated? It looks like the worst trends of the 90s. Kinda gaudy kinda tacky. This is not FLW at all
Frank Lloyd would hate this
What, are you crazy? This monstrosity has nothing whatsoever to do with Frank Lloyd Wright. Simply horrifying.
It's rather dated and way to big for the lot. Kudos to the relator he's trying his best to get that commission, but at this price range a buyer would want to rip all of this out.
That's gonna take a maintenance and service staff on site 24/7.
“Inspired by FLW”, it looks absolutely nothing like any of his designs. I don’t think he’d approve of this overly elaborate architecture.
It actually feels like an interior design showroom…something you’d see in Merchandise Mart Chicago. It feels completely staged.
The backlit stone bar is really the only thing I liked. I hope they have some way keeping their privacy with all those windows.
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!
.....this sure is... something. Money can't buy taste.
Awesome place to live
or visit as a guest. Count me in.
It's gorgeous
I'm freezing cold just looking at it
C'est magnifique!
It looks soo busy inside and out 😮💨
This is one interesting design!
Poor Frank. He is shaking in his grave.
this is madness Sim House!
Lloyd Wright would be appalled that his name is being invoked by this grotesque monstrosity blighting the landscape
‘Inspired’ is the operative word.
Beautiful three legs star modern design mansion on the Hudson river.
stunning and dream house
Just stunning.
It’s a clickbait architects and designers. They put this octopus building here and put wirght’s name here, so all of you can watch and comment.
Not thrilled with this for a number of reasons.
The dining room looks like a meeting room, that you walk past when you are on your way to the teacher's lounge, the kitchen looks like something that was fancy in the early 90s
as an artist, i dont understand why they blur out art thats not explicit - i understand blurring out family photos but an abstract painting is odd
it has to do with potential copyright strikes against them. If the artist is well known, the copyright is almost guaranteed.
@@EvelynM-vlogs just to clarify, Is that because it’s a third party doing the production and publishing? If the video was produced by or belonged to property owner, then copyright wouldn’t be an issue.
@ColdbrewNet A musician recently had a copyright strike for using her own music. You would need to know what does and does not have copyright privileges.
I thought it was valuable art that was blurred for security purposes.
@@EvelynM-vlogs thank you for the clarification. I didn’t think it through to consider that simply purchasing a created piece does not entitle you to use it in these instances, as it is technically republished at that point. It’s certainly more an issue when monetized and generating any revenue.
it is crazy that iwas just looking up modern prairie style homes.
that house is full of idols...
Inspired is a strong word. More like they picked a name out of a hat
Are there any window blinds or covers?
Not seeing much Wright inspiration, just vague appropriations of some of Wright's ideas by rich people with questionable taste.
I love it. It’s modern with older touches. ❤
Frank Lloyd Wright❤️🔥
He, is my Idol, this isn't close
The outside is giving me Italian lake views,
This is a total gut job
......so here's the question for those of us who might be a bit perplexed.......WHO SPENDS THE TIME CLEANING ALL THAT GLASS, ALL THE OUTDOOR FURNITURE; STONE WAYS ; CHAIRS ETC.....AND OH BY THE WAY......DOES THE OUTDOOR FURNITURE HAVE ITS OWN HOUSE FOR STORAGE......😂😂
People like this just hire cleaning people obviously.
FLW would be angrily coming out of the grave
Real interesting !
There's nothing in this design in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Beautiful,
The owners couple portrait above the bed 😂 5:19
Never,Ever would FLW do something as overdone as this… he’s turning in his grave to have his name associated in any way with this Designer House. To think the owners would come up with this mess after looking at FLW Architecture Books is just sad. Horrible to think people sailing up the Hudson have to stare at this. Belongs in Miami !
