Frank Lloyd Wright wasn't only an architect he was a visionary, he stepped beyond the convention to bring a style that is years ahead of it's time 🙌

The greatest architect of all time, and I am sure - of all times to come!

I've gotten to tour this home, it's absolutely gorgeous!!

It’s great that this house was saved. But the video shows too much roof and not enough of the interior.

Exactly my thought. We visited there in 2017 and I was taken by the interior spaces. Very livable except for the lack of any windows in the kitchen. The skylight lets in a lot of light but no view. As an amateur chef I would find it claustrophobic.

Yeah this video doesn’t do it justice. I liked the aerial elevations which were like an abstract painting, but they dwell on it too frequently.

More than 9 minutes wasted, yes we know this house, we know ALL of Wright's work, inside out, upside down. But is the interior shown to allow examination of the quality of the reconstruction, the entire reason it was saved in the first place? FAIL.

A great pity that Wrights sensitivity to place, form, and people hasn't been more influential in modern architecture. His best work had a human warmth and, dare I say, 'love' that is rare in modern buildings.

Thank you, whoever you are, for shutting up and letting Mr. Wright and his designs do the talking.

The house is beautiful, like a functional abstract sculpture.

The new owners wanted to demolished this beauty! WTF is wrong with the people? I`m glad the house was saved!

They saved the house by moving it off the property, but Wright designed for the very specific location. Even moving the house as a solution is still a disappointing one. Sad that the Gordon descendants didn’t care enough to stipulate in the contract that it couldn’t be torn down. The buyer is not the only foolish one here.

There’s something comforting and peaceful comes over me whenever I listen to FLW’s voice🙂

Am " kind " of stunned by Frank Lloyd Wright's thoughts voiced over and how surreal is their absolute truth as one scans the house before one's eyes . Frank Lloyd Wright escaped a limited trance state . To see this house and hear his thoughts on " advanced " architecture for those ready for it is to be awakened from a deep trance . ❤

Had a fabulous time looking over F L W homes on my travels Gordon

Agreed, beautiful overlay of FLW voice, sharing frank knowledge from the master. The descending and floating camera angles again capturing the of the spirit of the greatest architect Awesome work, FLW would approve

Frank Lloyd Wright was more than a great designer. He invented the world of the suburbs. The exit to nature that was stopped because of traffic jams, and came back to life thanks to the Internet and working from home. He is still influential.

We luckily stumbled upon this and showed up just as a small tour of 5 started. It was very interesting to learn about the owners and how they lived. It’s too bad the video didn’t showcase the inside. There are a lot of noteworthy details. The docent led tour was 👏🏻👏🏻

Thanks for adding Frankle and writes words. It captures his philosophy very concisely

Can just imagine the house built in its place... Philistines !

There is a neighborhood in Phoenix that has all FLW inspired homes that are nearly 50 years old. They are all very cool.

I am glad they saved this masterpiece. What idiot would eve think about destroying a piece of art

Thank you for sharing this.

Beautiful in many ways. Preservation of structure first chore to finish. Refurbished to original state next. Wright’s vision and concept still artistry first. Function, in his mind, simplistic and no one did it better, in simplicity.

Flat roofs are a bitch to maintain and leak. I like the look, but the maintenance probably not fun, especially if you live in a wet climate.

My favorite architect!!!

Can we go inside?

Very interesting and clever design

"The space within becomes the reality of the building"

👍 more architectures productions please.

Wright used brick, wood and stone and 'warm' tones to create "organic" architecture that integrated with nature. The Bauhaus built with 'cool' concrete, glass and steel to separate architecture from nature.

Very similar to the Bachman-Wilson house.

Excellent.

Very Good.

Wish we could have seen INSIDE the home, where the LIVING took place…

Very nice drone work, but you may want to change your name as we've been in business since 2007 and have customers in your state. I couldn't find your contact information so am contacting you here.

This was a drone shot. They probably did not have access to the inside.

It’s a gem why would you want to demolish it?

cool

The DJI Spark does a great job. I’m sold. After much research and owning 3 cheaper drones I’m ready for one. Brand new ones can still be found even though they quit producing them. I came here in my search to view FLW designs. Realizing what drone was used is a pleasant surprise.

Shabby, it deserves better.

Speed 1.7 makes it interesting

In 2001 the house was relocated? What lol

@majorneptunejr

Жыл бұрын

It had to be relocated because the owners only wanted the land. It was the only way to save the house.

FLW fan but face it, we can thank his "genius" for a lot of poured concrete parking structures that are eyesores. I've visited one of his Usonian homes and it's got the most uncomfortable chairs and beds built into it. Nonetheless, when he's good, he's phenomenal!

If you do not show the inside then why bother at all.

Better moved than destroyed.

No interiors? What a disappointment.
