Bowne to be Featured on HGTV
Work by Larry Bowne, assistant professor of architecture in the College of Architecture, Planning and Design at K-State, will be featured in two upcoming episodes of HGTV’s “Small Space Big Style.”
The first episode will premiere on Thursday, February 22, 2007, at 5:30 pm CST. HGTV’s website describes episode 413 as follows:
Flowing with Style
From eclectic decor to traditional charm, style is different to each person. See four spaces with different tastes. A cottage in Florida has a green motif; a New York apartment is full of hidden storage; a DC space boasts an amazing view; and a very modern space is perfect San Francisco.
Bowne’s project is a New York City apartment for Iris Weinstein, a book designer with the Knopf imprint at Random House. Weinstein bought her apartment by selling one of a pair of Andy Warhol paintings she owns. She received the art decades ago as a gift from the painter after doing an internship at The Factory. She still has the other Warhol.
The design of the Weinstein apartment transformed a small studio in a terra-cotta masonry building formerly used as a printing house. The renovation included sliding glass panels and a free-standing storage unit which divided the narrow space into a sequence of rooms. The scope included interiors and custom furnishings.
According to the producer, the airdate for Bowne’s second episode will be announced soon.
Bowne joined K-State’s architecture faculty in the fall of
2003. After earning a Bachelor of Arts
from UCLA and a Master of Architecture from Harvard, he served an internship in
Boston and New
York City. In
1997, Bowne opened a small partnership in New
York City. The
firm, B&R Projects, prepared designs for projects in New
York City, the U.S.
and abroad, including commissions in Buenos Aires,
Zurich, and
Kosovo. While the firm worked primarily
on New York City
residential apartments, they also designed retail, commercial and public
spaces. Since 2003, he has been principal of Larry
Bowne Architects, first in New York City
and now in Manhattan, KS.
His design work has been published and exhibited in multiple venues, including
magazine articles in Interiors, Dwell and the Village Voice; exhibitions at the Marianne Boesky Gallery (NY, NY),
Marvin Hall at the University of Kansas and the Chang Gallery at Kansas State
University.
Bowne has worked with students on various design/build projects, including a
renovation of Dickens Hall on the K-State campus, a chicken coop in Rose Hill,
KS, and the House of Dance and Feathers in New Orleans. These projects have received
exposure in multiple venues, including a forthcoming magazine article in Architectural Record; exhibitions at the
10th Venice Biennale in the fall of 2006 and forthcoming at the
Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum (spring and summer 2007); and media
coverage on the Weather Channel, National Public Radio and the ABC television
series “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.”
