Never fond of his work. Toooooo artful. A home should feel like a home.
To: Sacajaweau
This one I like. It's also a bit reminiscent of the awesome house from "Diamonds are Forever"

I was visiting a friend who lives above and near where the I-90 floating bridge enters Seattle, and there were these two houses across the street that had a very familiar look. I said they looked an awfully lot like Frank Lloyd Wright designs. He said “that’s because they are.”
I’ve always been a huge fan of his work and consider him the father of open spaces in home design. But I also think a lot of his cutting edge visual designs were not very structurally sound, or had a lot of problems with leaking roofs, etc.

The furniture, not so much, but the defensible position with firing ports.....mmmmmmmmm
As a ‘bigun’ the usonian homes would be uncomfortable, but this, with the location......

Falling Water is nice. This, not so much. I’m sure it will sell for a premium.

Is that a private residence, or an Observatory?
To: BenLurkin
Just a carport?
No Garage?
Where am I going to keep my collection of Harleys?
((((LOL... I only have ONE, but still need a garage.))))

Though for a moment it was the House on Haunted Hill...
To: BenLurkin
Like it! Especially the field of view and defendable location.

No matter how hard I try, I cantilever.
P.S. The second best place to see FLW works is the campus of Florida Southern College in Lakeland, FL.

The tar paper flashing around the chimney (third photo) is both ugly, and tells me the house has a severe leaking problem.

Murdoch Mysteries did an episode with him. They built an exterior and interior to try to match what he would have built in Canada had he built one there
Murdoch installed a life size walk in potato cooker aka microwave and it killed a rival of Frank Lloyd Wright

I too like his prairie style homes. The Usionion not so much. There is a Usionion house for sale here in Manchester, NH. It is built into the side of solid granite hill. Cool, but not my style. https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/frank-lloyd-wright-house-new-hampshire-for-sale I like the Darwin Martin house in Buffalo. http://www.martinhouse.org/
