Lovingly Illustrated Frank Lloyd Wright Houses In Nearly Every US State

January 18, 2020 Architecture

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’s Palm Canyon House

January 26, 2018 Architecture

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:
