Samara, Frank Lloyd Wright museum in West Lafayette, United States.
Built in 1954, Samara spans 2,200 square feet with floor-to-ceiling French glass doors, cantilevered surfaces, and 15 interconnected zones across a sloped terrain.
Dr. John and Catherine Christian commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright in 1950 to design their residence, presenting him with a 28-page document detailing their requirements.
The residence incorporates forty architectural innovations and features motifs of winged seeds from evergreens, which influenced the name Samara.
Tours operate Wednesday through Sunday from April to November, requiring advance reservations through Eventbrite, with parking available along Woodland Avenue.
The National Historic Landmark restoration project in 2023 received a 500,000-dollar grant from the National Park Service to update systems and address structural needs.
