Asked why Salle chose Fort Greene, David Fratianne, an architect working on the project said,
“It’s an edgy neighborhood and he’s an edgy guy and the house is a little edgy.”
Despite all that edge, not everybody is thrilled with what they see.”It’s exciting to have such a high-profile artist in the neighborhood,” said Chris Gullian, a sculptor who lives just a few blocks away.
“But I think that building is a blemish on an otherwise beautiful community of old buildings.”
