Welcome to

| Frank Lloyd Wright became a master at using the textures and raw materials of
the earth to create a home that seemed "grounded." The rooms
he designed -- although often austere in feel -- were
nonetheless open, uncluttered and full of rich, warm colors that
gave depth and character to the home. In many instances,
Wright designed everything in the home to coordinate, from the
design in the carpet to the glass patterns in lamps and windows. |

Architecture and home design have
always fascinated me. As a young girl I enjoyed drawing floor
plans, rearranging my parent's furniture and playing with Lincoln
Logs and Legos. In my twenties, I worked with my father in
construction and helped in numerous remodeling jobs. My
passion has always been the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright;
since I have been old enough to drive a car, I have visited Frank
Lloyd Wright homes in the Chicagoland area and attended the Wright
Plus house walks. As my appetite for Wright architecture has
grown, I have also begun to visit homes and buildings in other parts
of the country -- there is so much to see and feel.

| One of Frank Lloyd Wright's driving forces was
the desire to create function over form in his designs -- indeed, he
felt that form would arise out of function rather than vice-versa.
Take the time to visit even one of his designs and you will
understand the meaning of that desire. This website was
created to give fellow Frank Lloyd Wright enthusiasts an online
guide to learning about and visiting the homes and buildings he
designed. I hope you enjoy your visit! |
