History
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this house in 1959, and the project was completed by his colleagues after his death that same year. This final work shows how his designs remained active until the very end of his career.
Culture
The house was commissioned by someone deeply involved in the music industry, and this connection shaped its design throughout. The perforated window panels tell this story visually.
