| 02.04.2011 A network of local internet home papers called Patch interviewed the team responsible for getting the Bedford Hill Train Station Bulletin Board Kiosk built and as the architect, they tracked me down for some questions. Good reporting I must say as I had no contact information on this website. I guess its not so great to keep your practice underground. But I fixed it and I look forward to the article and video. I am very proud of having designed a public fixture--and for Bedford's Brenner Builders taking on the build and using NO NAILS. True builders understand the intention of the style. The whole thing was artfully built with mortise and tenon joints. 01.11.2011 2011 definitely feels like it is getting off to a stronger start. Having a great experience at Eric J. Smith, and I have come to the realization that architects need to treat their "master architects" like a client. I have worked with very talented designers and artists, and it is not much different in one sense. My own work that had begun in 2004 still follows me with friendships, advice and new ideas to build upon. I also changed my phone number. The logo shows the updated contact number as 914-482-0005. 11.20.2010 I have been quite busy for the last 6 months. And I am very excited about work that continues on, cool work that is happening in my new, more intimate environment. The SIPS house is under construction and we are all anxious to see it appear on the hill. A very modern and minimalist indoor pool space will be starting up in Aspen next summer. A converted candy factory in Brooklyn will be opening up next year as well, full of reclaimed materials saved from demolition. The building has 70 units and the lobby should be ready soon. A new garden floor apartment in a 25' wide Brooklyn landmark townhouse is happening. Perhaps a long lost project for a loft in Tribeca. Things are getting mighty interesting again. 04.15.2010 I will be not be taking on any new projects for an extended period of time as I will be devoting my efforts to help build a very large residential project in Greenwich, CT assisting my former Classicist mentor, Eric J. Smith at his New York City office. In the meantime, a prototypical 2,000 SF sustainable solar house project I designed in Westchester will be built by year's end among a few other projects in the completion stages. As a corporate entity, Visconti Architecture PLLC will continue to exist in "hibernation mode" maintaining my insurance and licenses although I will not be pursuing new projects after April 1, 2010. The economy has created an uncertain environment distinctly different over the last 2 years and with this new venture, I will be quite busy producing wonderful work at Eric J. Smith's firm. I take this leave knowing that all my projects have been exciting and beautiful and only wish that my clients enjoy the work for many years. 04.06.2009 Frank is now licensed to practice in Connecticut! 03.09.2009 The BIG CHEESE shop on First Avenue and 81 Street opened last week and is full of happy cheese buying customers!
