FR Review:
If you're looking for the ultimate fantasy home, Richard Landry is the go-to guy. Nothing fazes this architect, renowned for creating "phenomenal and extravagant" homes in LA's most exclusive neighborhoods for marquee names such as Tom Brady, Sylvester Stallone and Michael Bolton. Landry works both in derivative classical and "transitional" contemporary styles, borrowing from established architectural vocabularies and adding his own creative twist. Clients rely on Landry to work independently and efficiently, calling him "a talented professional who needs little if any direction." Landry and his staff are said to be detail-oriented, conducting tireless research on whatever style the client desires.
Despite being "very sought after and very successful," Landry remains extremely grounded and approachable. Clients tell us he personally sets the pace and spends time with each client, returning phone calls promptly and paving the way for a fun and easy process. Originally hailing from Montreal, Landry established this firm of 35 in 1987 after receiving degrees from the University of Montreal and the University of Copenhagen. The architect continues to work on a global scale, with recent commissions in Europe and Asia.
The scope of Landry's homes knows no boundaries; instead, the architect selects projects that excite him. "Smaller" ground-up construction might start around 5,000 square feet, but the firm doesn't shy away from the occasional addition or guest house, especially for longtime clients. On the opposite end, structures as grand as 40,000 square feet fall under the firm's resume as well. No two projects the same, fee structures vary for each unique scenario, all within standard rates for top quality. While some of Landry's commissions have countless types of marble imported from Italy and incredible carved limestone, most forgo the details to keep the budgets lower than one might imagine. AD100.
Representative Client Comments:
"He takes your dream concept and develops the most extraordinary version possible. And then he and his team work diligently to make it happen." "Perfectly executed. If I were doing a house on the moon I'd use Richard." "It might sound crazy, but Richard can kind of read your mind. It might be something that you can't necessarily picture, but he'll come up with something that's right on target." "He takes care of everything. All I have to do is go out there and make enough money to pay for this enormous house." "He delegates, so if he's not around, things don't stop. There is a great support staff." "We met every week to make sure we were on the same page, and the house absolutely reflects how we live and entertain." "Richard loves what he is doing and does not take himself too seriously. It is an absolutely pleasure."
