Raving About Real Estate

In our third episode we host our dear friend and highly regarded thought leader in the hospitality and design space, Robert Polacek. Rob received his degree in architecture from The Catholic University of America and has more than 20 years of design experience, representing a broad range of talent spanning from art direction, brand strategy, communications, interior design and brand identity. With time spent working at firms such as The Rockwell Group, Robert A.M. Stern Architects, and the Puccini Group, Rob has established himself as a highly sought-after industry leader. He is recognized for his ability to understand the interactions between the user and the built environment, creating aesthetically and functionally successful restaurants and hotels that visually reflect a brand’s culture.Ryan Pendleton was born in Fullerton, CA and now resides in San Francisco, CA with his partner. He is trained in fine art photography, drawing and sculpture. The Bauhaus movements made by Kandinsky and Klee, and that of American Painter Jasper Johns inspire his philosophy as an artist. Ryan’s abstract works, much like Kandinsky and Klee, are focused on the point, the line, the plane, the solid. His influence from Johns is apparent in the dialogue between figuration and form. Taking each basic principle of design into consideration, Ryan seeks to achieve highly dynamic and visually pleasing images. Greatly inspired by nature, Ryan spends much of his time communicating with it and understands the psychological connection people have with the organic in order to maintain a peaceful mind and find their own artistry in shape, texture, form and mass.  Ryan has always been fascinated with his Scandinavian ancestry and finds inspiration in the boldness of pattern found in their folk art, pottery, and quilts. Similarly, he is moved by the geometric patterns of Islamic art and architecture which encourage him to use big aggressive shapes in his drawings which blur the space between the abstract and the organic. If you would like to learn more about real estate or to be featured on R.A.R.E., please reach out to the The McPeak Thurber Team www.instagram.com/mcpeakthurber Sean McPeak smcpeak@halstead.comwww.instagram.com/sean_mcpeak Katie Thurber kthurber@halstead.comwww.instagram.com/newyorkbythurber
