Oh this is lovely. Now make it a little smaller, and make some of the walls like caves, and sort of cross it with an old fashioned cottage, that a hobbit would live in.

I asked RG about it. He has a book on this. Very cool.

I adore Frank Lloyd Wright… I have several books… You will love all his houses…

Frank Lloyd Wright is a man of nature, a characteristic that is reflected in his works.
A native of Wisconsin, Wright had little formal architectural training before coming to Chicago at the age of 20, where he secured employment as a draftsman in the architectural office of Joseph Lyman Silsbee and, soon after, with Adler & Sullivan. At a time when typical American homes were planned as box-like shells, Wright's houses embodied a flowing, human-scaled complexity that reflected ideal living conditions rather than rigid enclosures. More than 300 Wright-designed buildings were constructed; over 100 are in the Chicago metropolitan area alone. And he builds mostly houses. The only construction he did in New York is the world famous Guggenheim museum.
I thought that he is very well famous… Maybe it is worth to prepare something about him. You will love it! Actually, you could see some of his houses near by Chicago…

Hi Cyndi. I am so happy to see you and that you like this! Love, dear friend!

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959) promoted so called “Organic Architecture”. His residential design under the name “Prairie houses” is considered to complement the land around Chicago. Frank Lloyd Wright revolutionized the American home with his "Prairie" style houses with low horizontal lines and open interior spaces.


Organic Architecture is a philosophy that promotes harmony between the human habitation and the nature. Inspired by the nature the design approach aim the well integration of the building and furniture with the landscape that become together unified and interrelated composition. Literally every little element of the building is conceived to be a part of this organic impression.

"Let the design:
· be inspired by nature and be sustainable, healthy, conserving, and diverse.
· unfold, like an organism, from the seed within.
· exist in the "continuous present" and "begin again and again".
· follow the flows and be flexible and adaptable.
· satisfy social, physical, and spiritual needs.
· "grow out of the site" and be unique.
· celebrate the spirit of youth, play and surprise.
· express the rhythm of music and the power of dance."

I would love to walk around inside of those buildings. Love to feel them. Icame back to watchthis video again....it is sucha marvelwatching it grow. Amazing really the photographic journey of it's existence.

I adore it. But truly I will tell you if I could have any 'house style' in the world, enough money to purchase it....It would first off, be in the woods. Probably a creek or a lake would be upon the property. It would maybe be a long cabin, or a cottage. If it were a cottage I would like one of those roofs that swings down 'to the ground almost.' It would have rocks, like 'stone masonry?' (I don't know the 'correct word.'). A big wooden front door with metal hardware and knocker on it, sort of 'arch shaped. Maybe an old fashioned 'water wheel,' in the front by the door, with a small lovely pond. One of the rooms inside the house would look 'like you were outside.' And all the rooms in the house would open up into this 'area.' Where there would be maybe birds, and plants and the sounds of water. There would of course be stone fireplaces. And maybe passageways that were unexpected to get around by. It would have an old fashioned stove for cooking on. And through every window one would see ferns and trees and bushes, growing somewhat wildish looking.

Well, Rose…. You are not easy… But I’ll see what I could do for you… :).

Me too, Cyndi! I love his houses!

Thank you! And I love you both!
