- 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
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
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 house will look gorgeous under water
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.
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!
agreed.
bad day?
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 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
that... portrait of the owners over the bed
"Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright" in the same way "Ice Ice Baby" was inspired by Queen and David Bowie's "Under Pressure." 🙄
😋😋
Haha!
Having money doesn't mean having taste: the level of tackery is far too much...
My sentiments exactly
Inherited wealth vibes.
Nothing says Buddhism like a gaudy 20,000 sq. ft. tribute to tasteless materialism.
Architectural Digest needs some history lessons on architecture.
the interior looks very... 90's
totally. lots of shiny surfaces
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.
"mansion" and "Frank Lloyd Wright" do not belong in the same sentence
It looks like a massive (fancy) office.
😂😂
Absolutely vile. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.
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.
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
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 !
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.
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
This is an architectural atrocity. This place looks as cold as the heart of my ex.
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.
It's giving HOTEL.
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 😂
Eyesore on the Hudson!
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
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
All those idols are unsettling😮
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
Maybe I'm just a little Tipsy but at first i thought Jeff Bezos was the guy showing us around 😅
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.
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.
I love the setting but this monstrosity belongs elsewhere. Jersey Shore? 😂
Whats the PRICE on this Dump ?
24 million
I think its perfect for jazz nights 🖤
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
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.
A security nightmare
😂
This is a a beautiful montage and marriage of contemporary yet modernization of traditional design . This is beautiful. Thank you for this wonderful footage.
C'est magnifique!
Cleaning the bathroom mirror is a chore enough sometimes. Those windows would be ignored until the end. lol
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...
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.
It's gorgeous
why is this house white if it’s supposed to blend into nature?
Just stunning.
Not thrilled with this for a number of reasons.
This is one interesting design!
It actually feels like an interior design showroom…something you’d see in Merchandise Mart Chicago. It feels completely staged.
Frank Lloyd would hate this
Awesome place to live
or visit as a guest. Count me in.
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.
It looks soo busy inside and out 😮💨
Real interesting !
So much potential but they just missed it. The aesthetic is chaotic and fragmented.
Not seeing much Wright inspiration, just vague appropriations of some of Wright's ideas by rich people with questionable taste.
this is madness Sim House!
What, are you crazy? This monstrosity has nothing whatsoever to do with Frank Lloyd Wright. Simply horrifying.
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.
Beautiful,
The backlit stone bar is really the only thing I liked. I hope they have some way keeping their privacy with all those windows.
cool video😊😊
stunning and dream house
I'm freezing cold just looking at it
That's gonna take a maintenance and service staff on site 24/7.
Are there any window blinds or covers?
Beautiful three legs star modern design mansion on the Hudson river.
This is a total gut job
Wow 🤩
I love it. It’s modern with older touches. ❤
The outside is giving me Italian lake views,
Frank Lloyd Wright❤️🔥
it is crazy that iwas just looking up modern prairie style homes.
Poor Frank. He is shaking in his grave.
He, is my Idol, this isn't close
Lloyd Wright would be appalled that his name is being invoked by this grotesque monstrosity blighting the landscape
There's nothing in this design in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright.
The owners couple portrait above the bed 😂 5:19
Shiny glossy slippery everywhere. Not a nice place at all.
‘Inspired’ is the operative word.
Jet-fueled tackiness.
.....this sure is... something. Money can't buy taste.
awsome
So close to the water!
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
