The Buttenweiser House in Mamaroneck, New York, was designed by Ulrich Franzen in 1965.

Ulrich Franzen was born in Dusseldorf, Germany, in 1921 and immigrated to the United States in 1936. He graduated from Williams College in 1942 and received a Master of Architecture degree from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design in 1948. After graduation, Franzen went to work for I.M. Pei and then left to open his own firm, Ulrich Franzen and Associates, in New York City. Franzen stated, “Architecture is the servant of its time and significant designs are experiments of an era. The buildings that are designed become footprints of our own socio-cultural history, reflections of the ideas and concerns of an era, and not those of an individual.”
