Synopsis

Emphasizing the unique stories that inform each of the projects, the monograph’s 15 chapters―each dedicated to a single completed residence and opening with a conceptual sketch by principal Richard Landry―demystify the process behind creating the grand estates the firm has become known for. From a modern steel and glass aerie perched above L.A.’s Sunset Boulevard to a lakeside stone villa in Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, the houses selected embody the spirit of those who inhabit them. A special section, Works in Progress, previews 25 current projects from the firm consistently sought for its ability to collaboratively intuit architectural styles, siting and materials in structures that innovatively reflect the area vernacular and elevate the imagination of their clients, who include celebrities, creatives, and industry leaders.

Review

"At the heart of each of Los Angeles-based architect Richard Landry’s designs are his clients. "There are so many positions you can take,” he says. “But it pays off as a business model if my clients are part of the process.”
Landry’s counts among his clients many of Hollywood’s stars – Rod Stewart, Kenny Gee, Mark Wahlburg and Eddie Murphy among them. The latest two, though, carry special weight during this NFL playoff season. That’s right – Tom Brady and Giselle Bündchen are the newest to solicit Landry’s design assistance.
Which just might find the architect Super Bowl-bound in just a few weeks."
