Today I am featuring another one of my husband's favorite architects, Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867 - April 9, 1959). He was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator. His designs are timeless.
His famous Fallingwater, also known as Edgar J. Kaufmann Sr. Residence was built partly over a waterfall in Bear Run, Pennsylvania in 1935
The Solomon R Guggenheim Museum, or simply called The Guggenheim is one of the best known museums in New York City, founded in 1937
Taliesin West was architect Frank Lloyd Wright's winter home and school in the desert from 1937 until his death in 1959 at the age of 91. Today, it houses the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, a school for architects, and is open to the public for tours. It is located on Frank Lloyd Wright Boulevard in Scottsdale, Arizona . His summer home, Taliesin, is in Spring Green, Wisconsin. Nick's favorite of all his work - he says it's the first deconsrtuctivism.
The Rosenbaum House is a single-family house in Alabama, and is one of only 26 pre - World War II Usonian houses.
The George Sturges House built for George D. Sturges in the Brentwood Heights neighborhood of Brentwood, La, California. Designed and built in 1939.
The Massaro House was designed in the 1950's but was built in 2005 for a spectacular site on Petre Island on Lake Mahopac in upstate New York. Fast forward to 2007, and Wright’s vision has finally emerged, a faceted structure that appears to grow out of the rock itself.
Wright incorporates part of the whale rock into the kitchen.
