About 6/8 months ago, my father asked me if Robert and I would be interested in spending a weekend in Two Rivers, WI -- renting a Frank Lloyd Wright house for the weekend, along with his wife and another couple with whom they are friends. I immediately jumped at the offer, being a long-time FLW enthusiast. One can very often take a tour of a FLW home, which can be a religious experience in and of itself. But words can't even describe how incredible it was to experience an extended stay, actually living in one of FLW's creations.
I took a whole bunch of pictures, and pared it down to what I'm about to post.
The entrance/foyer. Very typical of FLW to put a low, almost uncomfortable low-ceiling in the entrance of the home. It really makes you keep moving through it into the next space.
Looking down to the living room from the upstairs balcony. That's my dad on the sofa getting into a book. The floors are polished concrete, in FLW's signature color "Cherokee Red". The floors have radiant heat (which was absolutely delicious), and it's believed that this home has the oldest continuously operating radiant floor heating system in the country.
Here's Robert showing off the kitchen. It wasn't a huge kitchen, but when you walked through the dining area with a low ceiling - you entered the kitchen where the ceiling went up at least 20 feet, with a skylight.
