Gerald B. and Beverley Tonkens House
Gerald B. and Beverley Tonkens House, Frank Lloyd Wright residence in Amberley Village, United States.
The Tonkens House extends over 2,100 square feet, featuring three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a large central gathering room with floor-to-ceiling windows.
Gerald B. Tonkens and his first wife Rosalie commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright to design this single-story residence in 1954 after meeting at his Taliesin studio.
The residence demonstrates the Usonian Automatic architectural style, which emerged after the Great Depression as a response to the need for affordable housing.
The house incorporates eleven different styles of precast concrete blocks reinforced with steel rods, along with copper flashing for water management.
The interior features Philippine mahogany paneling throughout the space, complemented by built-in furniture and a cantilevered fireplace in the great room.
