Taliesin, Private villa and studio in Spring Green, United States
The 800-acre estate includes a 37,000-square-foot residence, studio, and educational facilities constructed with regional limestone and wood materials.
Frank Lloyd Wright built Taliesin in 1911 on his ancestral land, reconstructing it twice after fires in 1914 and 1925 with enhanced architectural elements.
The estate represents Prairie School architecture through its integration with the Wisconsin landscape, using horizontal lines and natural materials throughout the structures.
Taliesin Preservation manages guided tours of the property, allowing visitors to explore the main house, studio, and surrounding gardens from spring through fall.
The property contains structures from different decades of Wright's career, functioning simultaneously as a residence, architectural studio, and learning center for aspiring architects.

Frank Lloyd Wright developed one of the most influential architectural styles of the 20th century over seven decades of practice. His buildings connect interior spaces with surrounding landscapes through horizontal lines, natural materials, and open floor plans. From the Prairie Houses of the Midwest to the post-war Usonian homes, Wright created designs that transformed American residential architecture. His major works include Fallingwater, built over a waterfall in Pennsylvania, the Guggenheim Museum in New York with its spiral ramp, and the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, which survived the great 1923 earthquake. The Robie House in Chicago demonstrates his Prairie School principles, while Taliesin West in Arizona served as his winter home and architecture school. His structures are located across the United States, Japan, and Europe, demonstrating his vision of organic architecture that works in harmony with nature.
