Promoting Freedom for Creative Architecture
Owning a home designed by iconic American architect Frank Lloyd Wright can be an expensive proposition, regardless of your budget. But you don't have to sacrifice Wright's vision altogether: there are houses inspired by his work you could purchase instead.
Few Frank Lloyd Wright homes are up for sale right now, including an exquisite Prairie School gem with verdant gardens; two Usonian houses with long in-line floor plans and Philippine mahogany walls; and even one former schoolhouse cantilevered over a waterfall!
These Wright-inspired homes weren't constructed by him himself - as his last residential design project ended in 1959 - but they reflect his aesthetic and represent his design principles. These smaller versions of his signature buildings featured forward-thinking open floor concepts while often employing materials or features considered innovative at that time. Furthermore, architects who constructed them often experimented with materials or features of experimental nature during construction.
Real estate experts agree that Wright homes can be volatile markets, yet unique properties that appeal to specific buyers. Brokers who have sold them say that for successful sales to take place they require taking an holistic approach, considering architectural, environmental and landscape aspects when marketing these unique pieces of art - as well as seeking buyers with an appreciation of Wright. They emphasize how ideal buyers for these pieces would be those looking for them specifically as art pieces in themselves.
