Frank Lloyd Wright’s Palm Canyon House

One of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most unique and captivating properties is Palm Canyon, located outside Phoenix. Designed just before his death in 1959 and built in 1967, the home’s shape is formed from overlapping circles, set on the edge of a rocky cliff overlooking the cacti and scrub that make up the famous canyon. The interior is entirely original and in amazing condition, considering it’s age. Listed for $3.25 million, the house is 3,095 square feet, and one of 14 circular houses that the famous architect designed. It’s a very special property, and one that exemplifies the way Wright created homes that blend into the environments where they live. Via Uncrate:
