Millard House, Textile block house in Pasadena, United States.
The Millard House combines geometric patterns with concrete blocks across three stories, featuring terraces, reflecting pools, and natural light throughout its 2,400 square feet.
Frank Lloyd Wright constructed this residence in 1923 for Alice Millard, a rare book dealer, using concrete blocks made from materials found on the property.
The building represents a departure from Wright's Prairie house style, introducing modular construction methods intended to make architecture more accessible to regular citizens.
The first floor contains a kitchen and dining room, while the second floor includes the main entrance and living room, and the third floor holds the primary bedroom.
Every concrete block in the house incorporates geometric patterns created through a specialized textile block system, forming walls with elaborate surface textures.
