Holy prarie house! Frank Lloyd Wright lives!! This home was designed by Taliesen Architects - the foundation set up to carry on the work of Frank Lloyd Wright, phase1 complete 1988, phase 2 1998
And it looks like a later era of Frank Lloyd Wright, a fantastic building, built into a hillside, and a place for demented architects but not at all like a typical domestic house.
Phase 1 was the first of its kind to have all the rooms opening onto a common area, however whilst there is a huge amount of toplit daylight there are very little external views from the common areas. There are 2 x 12 dementia resident clusters either side of a central service core. The bedrooms have sloping ceilings, curved windows and odly a half-height partition to the ensuite, and no ensuite shower. The door recess is very nice with an integral memorabilia cabinet.
Phase 2 is on the same lines with 12 bed nursing care opening onto a toplit common area and service rooms built inyto the hillside ti the rear.
I can't describe this place in words, you'll have to wait for my photos. The more I think about it hrogh, the more the common areas do feel like a prison atrium. Sorry.
