FR Review:
Ranging along the continuum from highly traditional to starkly modern, clients appreciate Peter Robbin of LCR for his ability to sensitively transform their space. A quick study, Robbin develops designs that "look fabulous and always work," such as a particularly soft and comfortable upholstered headboard for a client who loves to read in bed. Similarly, during any construction, Robbin is said to make constructive lifestyle suggestions that the architect never considered. Supporters totally trust his judgment and consult him well after the project is complete.
After majoring in fine arts at Boston University and interior architecture at RISD, Robbin did hospitality design for several years and then worked with three notable New York interior designers--Angelo Donghia, McMillen and Noel Jeffrey. In 1987, Robbin moved to Hartford and partnered with the established John LaFalce, creating LCR. Robbin is currently the sole owner and works with four associates who, clients report, are highly professional. There are also two retail stores specializing in tabletop, one in West Hartford and one in Westport, run by Robbin's sister, Dana Robbin.
Beginning with a small minimum and just one room, Robbin works at Classic retail. References note that Robbin intuitively understands their "reasonablility standard" making economic decisions easy, generally with fine repro quality. Clients seem to stick with Robbin for many years, freshening up with him along the way and recommending him to friends.
Representative Client Comments:
"Peter made it all so easy. He would bring a few choices and I would always love at least two." "We went through the process slowly. I never felt rushed." "Peter's facility with high-tech gadgets is excellent. We were just published on the cover of an A/V magazine." "Peter totally adopts to the clients concept." "He is the first one to say that an item is not exactly right and replace it." "After doing my traditional home, he then did my father's quite contemporary apartment with style." "The office makes it so easy, supervising the flooring crew so we did not have to deal." "Peter is broad-brush and Jill makes it happen." "The best part is that the house immediately looked like we had lived here for years." "His work just gets better with age."
