To better understand Wright’s plan, it is worth looking closely at the drawing of the architect himself.
When viewing the main house from the south, you can appreciate the horizontal nature of the design. Like most houses in this style, the front door is hidden.
The garage is not a complete copy of the original, but still the reconstruction is simply amazing in its accuracy.
A lot of work is also put into landscaping. Specialist Walter Griffin and Wright collaborated and created lawns and flowerbeds that fit the overall design.
Architect Toshiko Mori, who led the reconstruction, designed the reception area for all visitors to the complex. He did not set out to make a copy of the Wright buildings, but instead came up with a glass house that would not distract visitors from the main attraction.
The roof seems to float above the glass walls. It actually rests on four columns in the center of the building.
In the early plan of the complex, the main house is on the left, the pergola leads to the greenhouse and garage, and the Delta house seems to stand a little off to the right. Griffin’s landscaping ideas are also displayed here.
The living room photo shows how the architect was able to divide the rooms into zones without using walls. A door on the right leads to the terrace.
Could you please provide more information about Darwin Martin’s famous prairie-style home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright? I’m curious to know about its architectural features, historical significance, and any interesting facts associated with the house.
