Sinatra Cabana, Ontario
Frank Franco Architect’s was commissioned to design the Sinatra Cabana as part of a landscape master plan. The clients, who play host to many summer gatherings, wanted a sophisticated space that complimented their newly renovated home, yet suited their casual lifestyle.
Key features of the Cabana include a 11’ long fireplace with a floating chimney, natural cedar soffits, folding glass walls, and Shou Sugi Ban siding. The Shou Sugi Ban siding, a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation, was hand torched by experienced tradesmen on site.
The interior of the Cabana features playful tile work to appeal to the families four youngest members. The strong horizontal lines and non-traditional building materials, reminiscent of 1950’s architecture, alongside the piano-key inspired tile in the bathroom, led to the project title; [Frank] Sinatra Cabana.

AI is killing choice and chance – which means changing what it means to be human
AI is killing choice and chance – which means changing what it means to be human
AI promises to make life easier, but what will humans lose in the bargain? AP Photo/Frank Augstein The history of humans’ use of technology has always been a history of coevolution. Philosophers from Rousseau to Heidegger to Carl Schmitt have argued that technology is never a neutral tool for achieving human ends. Technological innovations – from the most rudimentary to the most sophisticated –…

Amanda Schmitt appealed the dismissal of her lawsuit against Artforum and Knight Landesman.

Amanda Schmitt, the art fair director and former Artforum staffer who in October 2017 sued the magazine and Knight Landesman, its co-owner and former publisher, is appealing the dismissal of her case. On Monday, Schmitt’s lawyer, Emily Reisbaum, filed an appeal contesting New York State Supreme Court Justice Frank P. Nervo’s December 20, 2018 decision dismissing the case against Landesman and the prestigious art magazine he co-owns. Schmitt’s lawsuit, originally filed in October 2017, accused Landesman of sexual harassment and slander.
Because the statute of limitations for events that allegedly occurred during her employment at Artforum (from 2009 to 2012) had already passed, Schmitt’s case revolves around a May 2017 confrontation with Landesman in a restaurant. Judge Nervo ruled that the five-year span between Schmitt’s departure from Artforum and that 2017 encounter was “sufficient to eliminate any nexus between her employment and the alleged acts.”
On Monday, Resibaum filed an appeal under New York City’s Human Rights Law, according to Hyperallergic, which reads in part:
In dismissing Schmitt’s claims against [Landesman and Artforum]—for retaliation, defamation and slander, promissory estoppel, and gross negligence—the lower court failed to credit her allegations, ignored the affidavits she submitted in opposition to Respondents’ motions, made inferences in Respondents’ favor instead of in Schmitt’s, and misapplied the law, leading to this appeal.
Schmitt’s lawsuit, filed in October 2017, came on the heels of the sexual abuse accusations against Harvey Weinstein and marked the first high-profile #MeToo case implicating an art world power player. Schmitt, who serves as the director of programming and development for the Untitled art fair, was featured in Time magazine’s 2017 “Person of the Year” feature, “The Silence Breakers.”

This is a warmup for Ishod Wair I Photo: @digimil
Every trip you will take in your life will create moments to remember. There are the moments you’ll never forget, the ones you will never remember, and then the ones that are hard to believe were real at all. This year was unique in a lot of ways and filled with moments that were truly surreal. For me, being a 30 year old self-professed man-child, it was interesting to see some of my childhood heroes still skating in the mix with the fresh crop of pros coming up today. There’s been so many changes as the contest has evolved over the years, and with the new ETN charging to view the finals over the internet, it’s a good reminder that there is no substitute to being there in person.
Totally beats a roach motel I Photo: @digimil
The trip has become a tradition for my friends and I. We all live in different places, but Tampa is the perfect party weekend to all get together. This year we decided to break from tradition and stay in an AirBNB instead of the roach motels down the street from the park. As a kid, these motels were where a majority of the pros stayed which meant games of SKATE, hanging out with the pros and literally turning the whole place into essentially one big house party complete with impromptu product tosses (not to mention trashing the rooms like we were rock stars with things like ramen-noodle fights). When the industry wasn’t seeing such high payouts, the pros would often sell you some gear out of the van for cheap. I’ll always cherish those memories, but was happy to have our own private house off the YBOR strip this year.
Cole & Kremer Crooning I Photo: @digimil
The first night, I got to hang out with Molly from Street League, Tom Asta, Wes Kremer, Chris Cole and a couple others at their tradition: Karaoke. I performed my go-to karaoke song “Say My Name” by Destiny’s Child, but the highlight for me was when I let my inner 15 year old out and did what I couldn’t resist. Nervously, I wrote down Chris Cole’s name with the song “Renegade” from his Dying to Live part. Even though he was caught off guard, Cole was a great sport about it and Wes hopped on stage for back up vocals. They killed it! If you’re reading this Cole, sorry I had to! Thanks for being cool about it. After that the night got a little fuzzy for me and headed back to the AirBNB.
Anthony Carpenter with John “The Man” Reeves and his book I Photo: @digimil
Once we got to the park, it was great to see New York being well represented. Jefferson Pang, Tyshawn Jones, Oscar Wagenbuchler, John The Man Reeves, among other Northeast names like Brandon Westgate, Anthony Shetler, Dave Bachinsky, Manny Santiago…the list goes on and on.
Frank Gerwer catching up with Nuge I Photo: @digimil
The nightlife was amazing this year. After talking to Ray Barbee and Brian Anderson earlier in the day on Friday, the entire park was treated to sets from Ray Barbee followed by Evan Smth’s band Drowning Clowns.
Legends I Photo: @digimil
Evan Smith shredding I Photo: @digimil
The next morning we headed to Bro Bowls to take a few runs and wake ourselves up. The park pays homage to the original bro bowls by keeping them in the center while a perfect replica joins up with a plaza style street section on the other side. Highly recommend a visit on a sleepy weekend morning in Florida.

Saturday meant qualifiers but the real show came later during the Converse Concrete Jam & Jenkem Best Trick contest. Jenkem brought in a portable party extension box complete with the Jenkem girls while Ian Michna and crew lit the deck on fire.
Ian keeping it lit with plenty of lighter fluid I Photo: @digimil
Following the best trick, Brooklyn local Frecks took the stage with Figgy and Nuge as their band Arctic played a set for everyone followed by Samurai Shotgun and DJ Romar as part of the nonstop nightlife SPOT puts on for everybody.
I’m terrible with names, tell her I’m sorry Frecks I Photo: @digimil
Sunday morning started off in a haze from the previous night. My friend Landon and I set off to get coffee to wake our minds and bodies up. It’s a good thing we stopped so he could tie his shoe or I may not be here writing this right now. The second we stopped so he could tie his shoe a truck blew a red light and was t-boned right in front of our eyes. After checking on the drivers, a cop that was down the block came up and took care of the rest.
The aftermath I Photo: @digimil
One of the changes I was a little disappointed to see was the removal of the long standing Moat Race. It’s understandable though, since taking a run in the dirty waters out front of SPOT puts the place one lawsuit away from getting shut down.
No parking. No Moat Race. No Lawsuits. I Photo: @digimil
The finals this year were much like any other year, there’s that one run that comes out when you just KNOW that dude is taking it. That guy was Louie Lopez for 2017. Everyone was killing it this weekend, but Louie’s run looked effortless, and it looked good. When you see someone out there just having fun it’s a great feeling. Standing out back, when the last run went down and it became clear Louie was winning it, everyone erupted around him.
Congrats Louie! I Photo: @digimil
Boards for Bros does a lot of good for skateboarding, giving back to the less fortunate in our community.
Professor Schmitt and the Boards for Bros team I Photo: @digimil
Professor Schmitt helped them out and created a Bromander-in-chief award that went to the people’s favorite: Evan Smith. All weekend he took time out to sign autographs, chill with the kids, and keep everyone’s vibe positive. He even lent me some rolling paper when I needed it, thanks Evan!
It’s hard to tell who was more stoked this weekend I Photo: @digimil
Once again, I’m happy to make it back to New York in one piece. I’ve got another year’s worth of great memories and looking forward to the next trip. Thanks to Brian Schaefer, Paul Zitzer, Michelle Box, Derrick Glancey,Anthony Carpenter, Elizabeth Limon. Landon Harris, everyone at SPOT, and everyone who helped make the weekend one to never forget. See ya next year!
Bill Weiss I Photo: @digimil
Car crashes, Karaoke, a Concrete Jam and a crazy weekend. Every trip you will take in your life will create moments to remember. There are the moments you’ll never forget, the ones you will never remember, and then the ones that are hard to believe were real at all.

Modern Victorian House in Toronto
6 Mar 2022
Design: Frank Franco Architects
Location: Toronto, ON, Canada
Photos: Bob Gundu
Modern Victorian House
The design objective with the Modern Victorian House was to bring the 110-year-old dwelling up to contemporary standards by adding a three-story rear addition, improving the overall layout, and updating the interior finishes. While one partner felt strongly about maintaining the traditional character of the home, the other hoped to achieve a boldly modern aesthetic. To suit both tastes, the Victorian style front facade is respected and maintained, while the new addition at the rear is contrastingly modern.
In order to brighten up the dark, crammed interior, large windows were introduced, and partition walls were eliminated to achieve a bright, airy space. The resulting open plan permits for clear sight lines and visual connectivity, and allows for light to reach in to the depths of the narrow home. Light materials, including white cabinetry and marble tile, maximize light throughout the house, while dark accents, such as the black island and black window frames, provide visual interest.
The existing stairs were not built to modern day standards; a new set of stairs flanks the main living space, and a glass wall acts as guard without blocking light from entering the stairwell. The wood finish of the stairs brings warmth to the otherwise black and white finishes throughout the house. The second floor features 2 bedrooms, a den, and a laundry room, while the third floor acts as a master suite. Large skylights in the master ensuite create a bright space to start each day, while a cave-like shower creates a unique bathing experience.
The resulting house is both functionally and aesthetically improved, without negatively impacting the physical character and architectural style of the community. The aesthetic style is one of contrasts; the combination of traditional and modern facades on the exterior which carries seamlessly in to the interior of the home to create a space that satisfies both partners.

Big Sky Retreat, Lake Simcoe Ontario
3 Mar 2022
Architecture: Frank Franco Architects
Location: Lake Simcoe, Ontario, Canada

Big Sky Retreat, Ontario
The Big Sky property is located on the coast of Lake Simcoe. It is a family retreat and escape from the city for rest, relaxation and family activities. Our client grew up visiting the family cottage as a child and in her adulthood, she purchased the property from her parents in hopes of giving her children the same wonderful memories she had growing up.
The only issue was the property had not been updated since it was purchase in the 1980’s and our client wanted to bring her cottage into the modern age. With the onset of the pandemic, updating the cottage became a priority for the family.
Frankfranco Architects proposed a modern alteration to the main space including living room and kitchen to engage the main focal point of the property, the waterfront view. The space was re-configured with partition walls removed in order to bring in ample light into the open space and reveal the exterior views of the home to the rest of the spaces.
The renovation consisted of re-designing the rear elevation in connection with the existing exterior façade. Materiality choices and architectural layouts were defined with the intention of utilizing the best components of the site that are there, the waterfront. The choice of a neutral palette in the kitchen with light sage millwork and a deep green textured backsplash against the white oak flooring, reflects the quiet coastal tones of the building’s environment.
The rest of the home is flooded with white, clean millwork that captures the hues of the greenery that comes in from the windows. Bronze fixture details and wood highlights within the interior of the home bring out the natural tones of the spaces. Conversely, the dark tiled fireplace is set against the wall where they are next to the painted black porch doors, tucked away to expose the full view. The expansive exterior deck further acts as an extension of the outdoor experience that you are driving up here to enjoy.

A lawsuit against Artforum and its former publisher Knight Landesman was dismissed.

A judge in the New York Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit brought by curator and art fair director Amanda Schmitt against Artforum and its former publisher, Knight Landesman, accusing him of sexual harassment and slander. The lawsuit was filed in October 2017, after the three-year statute of limitations pertaining to the incidents that allegedly occurred during Schmitt’s time working at Artforum (from 2009 to 2012) had expired. Instead, Schmitt’s lawsuit claimed Landesman had “slandered and humiliated” her in May 2017 during a confrontation at a restaurant in which he accused her of having “unfairly accused him of sexual harassment.”
In dismissing the lawsuit on December 20th, Judge Frank P. Nervo ruled that the five-year period between Schmitt’s departure from Artforum and the restaurant incident with Landesman is “sufficient to eliminate any nexus between her employment and the alleged acts.” Schmitt’s lawyer, Emily Reisbaum, told the New York Times that they’re considering appealing the ruling.
Coming just weeks after sexual abuse allegations against movie producer Harvey Weinstein first surfaced, the Landesman case was one of the earliest and most high-profile manifestations of the #MeToo movement in the art world. Though Schmitt was the only plaintiff in her lawsuit, it cited claims from nine other women who said they’d had similar experiences with Landesman. The lawsuit alleged that “Landesman groped young women, made vulgar sexual remarks to them, and insisted that they accept his disgusting overtures if they wanted his assistance to thrive in the art world,” according to court papers quoted by The Art Newspaper. After coming forward with her claims, Schmitt, who is the director of programming and development at the Untitled Art Fair, was included in Time’s 2017 “Person of the Year” feature, “The Silence Breakers.”
Landesman resigned from his position at Artforum shortly after the lawsuit was filed. However, he is still a co-owner of the company. Artforum publisher Charles Guarino told ARTnews that the company is trying to recover Landesman’s stake in the company.
