Excellent viewing and commentary works of art construction A gem ,

Robert… many thanks for another thoughtful and thorough FLW video; as a fellow Sketchup user, I appreciate the work that went into creating your Hanna House model. If you’re able and haven’t yet spent a night or two at the Seth Peterson Cottage on Mirror Lake in Wisconsin, I assure you it is worth the effort and expense. The act of living in a FLW home, even for just a day or two, can be perspective-altering. While far more modest than the Hanna House, there is more ‘capital-A’ Architecture there per square foot than anywhere I’ve experienced. I recently had my second stay, a nearly 25 year gap since my first. While the cottage remains largely untouched by the intervening years, my time there was far deeper and emotional than the first, perhaps an effect of my age and experience.

Really enjoyed this - thank you!

What a pleasant surprise to see you’d posted this video. I’m always impressed by your meticulous presentations! I’d meant to visit Hanna House but they’d closed during the pandemic. Now, I’m reminded that I should make arrangements to go there to see it in person.

Thank you for a helpful video

@NocturneVid66 If you decide not to do the Ayn Rand house (hopefully you will), how about Wright's unbuilt studio for Arch Oboler (c. 1946, I think)? Also, did your SketchUp model of the Foreman Townhouse calculate the square footage?

@NocturneVid66 Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! Please do Wright's cottage & studio for Ayn Rand!

If I was told correctly, I know where and seen most of the wooden parts of this house. They ended up in an old leaky barn, mostly rotten and was all sold at a garage sale for 50.00 dollars. On route one, just outside Watseka Illinois.....I was going to buy it, but the rot was so bad it was not even worth the 50.00 dollars.....

Can Lego make a set where you can assemble Usonian houses?

So many designs with a wide flat roof overhang with a stepped up central section. Look at the hat Wright is wearing at 0.39 sec. Coincidence? I think not.

Wright was a genius, his designs are stunning. This said, I have unresolved issues. I go back and forth about blank street facades (usually with clerestory windows). The sense of living in a " Secret Garden" hidden behind a wall can be exhilirating and luxurious, erotic even. This I know from long personal experience.. However man's greatest interest and rightful concern should be his fellow man. My ideal house would also provide easy viewing of people walking and driving by. The most common problem , I think this creates, comes from the unpleasant noise traffic creates, along with fumes and the American acceptance of one of the highest rates of traffic fatalities in the world. Watching people drive too fast is unsettling to me. I once lived 3 blocks north of a freeway. The unending oppressive sound forced me to sell and move. As for Wrights dramatic overhangs ---- they are incredibly beautiful but can rob some of his interiors of the joy that "strong sunlight" can provide. I will grant you that it can be a difficult balance. Too much sun can make a house hot in the summer and create glare.😊😊

If you love Wright, it is irresistable to second guess his decisions (arrogance?). I would have wanted some west facing glass in the living room. It is fascinating to speculate about Wright's decisions. Perhaps he merely wanted to limit the complications in a house with plenty of challenges, like that spectacular stairway. This would have been especially nice in colder parts of the year. There are plenty of examples of Wright houses with 3 direction exposure in the living room. The lower part of the living room was called the "loggia" by Wright,according to Mrs. Mossberg, who toured me through the house, very graciously on two occasions. Those were the days when you could still talk to original owners! I cherish my memories of the owners that I met.😊😊 Great video! Palace for the common man --- great phrase.

Very interesting project.... Fallingwater town House 😅

I love the video, Robert! Your model is really well made. I also appreciate the history you shared at the beginning :)

Robert, thank you for making this carefully detailed video. I always enjoy those 3-D walk-throughs that you do!

Robert, you did an amazing job on putting together this video. Was thrilled watching it. I like how Wright split the long run of steps by staggering half floors on each side of chimney to make fewer steps between levels, making it a more pleasure fulfilling climb up casual staircase vs. 16 or 18 steps between floor levels. The staggered floors is fabulous transformation of Fallingwater concept as a more elegant flow between levels and not hiding stairs at back. Wouldn't have been as expensive to build as Fallingwater or even Kentuck Knob.👍

Great video. Really enjoyed it 😊

Wow Robert! Your 3D modeling skills have shot through the roof! It looks incredible! :D It’s one of my favorite of your designs yet. I especially love the open feel. Also, the view of the walkway with the planters right when you walk in the door is so inviting :). As always, your attention to detail is amazing! You even have the view of Polaris out the master bedroom! Thanks for sharing!

I know big wurds; I are smart.

Thank you so much, Ricardo! It’s good to know my work is appreciated.

Excellent work! As always! Thanks for sharing, Robert 👍😁

Those are large 10uf caps, how many volts is the Rail of the preamplifier?

Thank you❤ not sure how I missed it! What a cool house.

Wow! Love the design, Robert!! It’s my favorite of yours so far by far!

Speaking of "regimented banality", here is the video tour of my other Usonian House design: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGnHkHaQa813mbMsi=kBwpZ_2auo3WXIP3

So cool!! 🎉👏

It's a di box?

i'm gonna try it for the low money

Classic Wright: Enter into a low ceilinged space, then emerge into the high ceilinged communal space.

Just beautiful. Thank you very much for making this model and video.

I'm a big fan of F.L. Wright and I had never seen this house, too bad the radiant floor heating system didn't work, it was quite an inovation for the period, even if heated floors already existed in the Roman bath houses in antiquity. Thank you so much it was a great visit and Beethoven 5th concerto for piano is perfect for the surrounding nature setting.

thank you for this video!

Fascinating! The absolute gigantic scale of the exhibition house increases the perception of clean unadorned lines anticipating Eichler and other mid century modern designs in comparison to more typical Usonian designs. Thanks for this great video!

Thanks for uploading this. I agree, this may be my favorite Usonian also.

The DIY store doesn't have much left to build one of these. I see the chassis, no transformers, FET's...do you have a parts list of where you got some of these boards, I can caps, resistors

The way to get the most of these speakers, and make them excellent would be to Tri-amp each speaker, or at least Bi-Amp each speakers reducing need for crossovers.

I have struggled for quite some time trying to get the HIVI Swans to sound better. I have done the crossover mods, but I am now considering changing the woofer.

I start repairing my yamaha b2 😊even when I hook up my Jbl 250ti whit amp lovely sound different speakers straight, it is my new love now this amp ❤I can’t wait when will be like a new , thank you for your support and video mate

I have to agree with Atelier Hi-Fi ..My example is not lacking in bass at all..Beautiful tight punchy low end

I have a bad B2 ..One channel is busted .. Two 2sk76 are bad .. I want to rep;lace them with 2sk60 sony Vfets.Could this be feasable?

I built these last year. Paid $299. Unbelievable deal and a ton of fun to build. Directions were even good.

Stunning! 😍

You installed the front baffles on backwards. That will negatively affect the sound! The chamfer goes to the inside of the cabs, it helps match the speaker impedance to the cab impedance. With the chamfer facing towards the speaker, sound waves reflect back into the speaker.

I saw one at Estate sale today for $1450. I passed on it.

That is a super nice bike too bad it wasn't a 2001 super duper clean..... It looks like most of the people that have only spikes cherish them and took very good care of them I'm like the only guy that has a VTR that is fucking tore up runs good but the guy I got it from only had it for about 3 weeks he was 55 he couldn't hold the bike up when I got there he wouldn't even touch the bike he had me do it the reason he was selling it is it was too tall for him he dropped that bike at least fifty times it looks like never erect it just dropped it sell my fairings cracked anything we can have a crack in it is cracked he did so much damage and 3 weeks...... If I can get it got it straight from the original owner would have been awesome because he loved this bike I could tell the original owner did a lot of modifications

I don't know look up your information brother these bikes put out 112 horsepower width 72 ft lb of torque at least from 2001 2005 and a dry way of 424 not..... RC51 has 148 horsepower
