New Frank Lloyd Wright House Built in Ohio

"Riverrock was Wright's final Usonian home blueprint, delivered in 1959. The quest was to build Frank Lloyd Wright's final design true to his plan, its intent and spirit, while also ensuring that the home would meet current building regulations." -- Sarah Dykstra, home owner and general contractor on the new house in Willoughby Hills, Ohio

So, Mr Wright's design may have had issues meeting the current code for safe housing?

As ugly as the rest of his crap.

Absolutely terrible architect, and had no ability to design an actually useful building. I have no idea why that schlock 'artist' is so celebrated by the idiotic masses.

An architect has two jobs: Design a useful building, and make it look decent. Frank L. Wrong couldn't do either.

Personally I find that well built houses that blend into the environment and are eco friendly and fully self sustaining are amazing and beautiful. Like the Earthships. I would love to see us build more of those.

Earthships are fully self-sufficient, off-grid homes built using natural and recycled materials, designed to be passive solar and energy-efficient, often featuring tire walls, rainwater harvesting, and food production systems ...
