This ambitious project brings us a huge collection of Frank Lloyd Wright’s beautiful homes, lovingly illustrated by Muhammad Sajid, Duck Knees, and NeoMam Studios.

Many of the classic, well known homes like Falling Water are on the list, but so are dozens of lesser known homes, in  places like Wyoming, Kentucky, and Nebraska, where we weren’t aware Frank Lloyd Wright even worked.  The illustration style is warm and modern, while remaining faithful to the specific architectural details of the homes.

Perusing the homes (many now museums), we are reinforced with the feeling that Wright really was the most important architect of the day, and his work remains highly relevant event today, 70+ years after most of these houses were built. Below are 23 of our favorites, make sure to visit the Frank Lloyd Wright home map on HomeAdvisor to see detail about each beautiful house.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed more than a thousand buildings across a seventy year career and saw over five hundred of them built, so the fact that they turn up in Kentucky, Nebraska and Alaska should be less surprising than it is. The map above is a good reminder that his Usonian houses, the modest single-story homes he designed for middle-class families from the late 1930s onward, are scattered far from the famous sites in Chicago, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, and many of them can be toured or even rented. We have written about several. See ten Frank Lloyd Wright homes you can stay in, the city Wright designed and never built, and the Armstrong Dune House in Indiana. Wright has his own entry in our reference library, and his buildings anchor our guide to the world’s most extraordinary architecture.
