Last but not least is the home and studio that Wright designed for his family at the age of 22 located in Oak Park, Illinois. The original structure was built in 1889, but modifications were made, like an added dining room, playroom, and kitchen. In 1898  the Studio and Connecting Corridor were built. What I like the most about this home is how he incorporated sharp edge structures, like the pointed roof, with irregular shapes that have edges like that of an octagon. The windows are tall and dark, and the section on the left side of the house is basically just a wall with siding. Although this place appears dark and mysterious, there is something cozy and intriguing about the life that grew inside.

Up next on my top 4 favorite works by Frank Lloyd Wright is the Still Bend home built in 1940  in Two Rivers, Wisconsin. My favorite part about this structure is the alternating layers seen on the outside. Portions of the house appear bigger and unbalanced with other areas, making it look unique. As before, the organic style is seen through the brown colors and plentiful use of wood. The horizontal theme paired with large glass windows looking out towards the back patio makes this an ideal hangout place, especially on the back porch. Even the eve lights hit the home perfectly making it seem warm, cozy, and inviting. Wright described this as his “Dream home.”

My next favorite work of Frank Lloyd Wright is the Circular Sun house located in Phoenix, Arizona. This home was built in 1967, and only one of the fourteen circular homes built by Wright.  The home is 3,095 square feet, with three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Wright believed that garages would “attract clutter,” so this house lacks one. The home sits nested into the hill side of rock and cacti and follows the same neutral color palette as most of his work. His “organic” style is conveyed here by the way the house weaves into the natural landscape and over looks the Palm Canyon across the valley. My ultimate favorite aspect: the swimming pool. The house has been used as an Airbnb and recently put on the market.
