Tirranna: One of Frank Lloyd's Last Homes
Tirranna, one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s last residential homes completed towards the end of his life in 1955, is currently for sale in New Canaan, CT. In a town with its fair share of architectural masterpieces, Tirranna stands alone. Seated on 15 acres of natural beauty, each of its nearly 7,000 square feet of flowing interior space harmonizes with nature in a unique way -- which is the essence of his work.

When I was an Architect student I went to visit this house. I just did a drive by cold and it was being restored. The person working on it allowed me to walk around and I have some good photos and video of it during it's renovation. Always glad to have had the balls to just drive up and ring the bell.
If I owned this masterpiece I would RUN HOME after work. I’d spend every weekend and vacation at home! Why not? The designs by FLW are not expensive to execute today. Most homes have no basement and no attic. Many without garages (a must have though) but solid cement floors with copper piping run throughout for even heating and warm floors throughout. I am surprised that we do not see new construction copies of his designs. The Efficiency of today’s windows make his plans even more doable.
Estate agent talk... sound so fake. He is not transferring the spirit of the house.
Totally misses Wright's greatest accomplishments as an architect: each building a spatial poem that you can walk through, the intricate interactions of space and light, the sensitively chosen materials, and so on. Instead they waste so much time on superficial "luxuries." Barf!!!! At least some of the footage is good.
ok I will say it. his work is now a historical curiosity. the houses are neither cosy, family homes, nor grand, entertainment spaces. they look institutional now.
Granted this is not unique to this particular video or channel, but I do wish architectural videos on KZread would let the camera shots linger longer. The (jump?) cuts are much too quick to appreciate what the camera is capturing.
My dad was a plumber apprentice in the early 1960s and got to work in this house in one of the non-master bathrooms (not pictured) for its 2nd owner. Just showed him this video and some of the shots are his exact memories of what walking through the house looked like. Was tickled to death to see this 60 years later!
It’s the glasses on the egg head.... you can’t unsee it.
Love love love anything designed by Frank Lloyd Wright! One of my favorite architects.
I want a basement, an attic and a garage. AND NOTHING ELSE!!!
I dreamed of this place only last night. And I see this right here on yt... my dream shall come true indeed. FLW huge respect....we both love nature to embrace it and release it.
Frank Lord Wright's houses are so unique, full of natural details and has a great use of building materials. I hope one day to see more of his houses and public buildings. Thanks for letting us see this house set up as a home!
I bought a house in 1998 that was a scaled down version of this house. It had windows up high on the front and three sliding glass doors on the back. It tickled me to own it. It was a Better Homes and Gardens plan.
As always with Wright, just mind blowing beauty.
I remember seeing Falling Waters when I was young and just fell in love with the home. I've been blessed enough to Visit Taliesin West while in Phoenix and several of his buildings. I'm hoping next year to visit Albrass here in SC.
A local, national, and international heritage you must put on your bucket list!
He was born with an extravagant vision and design of only the Exclusive can understand. Gorgeous.
Wow !!! That was Gorgeous !!
"F L W"... Whenever I see one of his Beautiful Works, I say to myself...
I wish that the video had taken a bit more time focusing in on each room with all of its detail and beauty. Fascinating!
