Absolutely beautiful and very inspiring.

Thanks for putting this together, loved it

Wow! Steve & Hugo, you both really really outdid yourself on the Ellinwood home. Thankyou for showing the view from the balcony. Again your choices for exterior plants and perrenials & interiors are fantastic. I question the Robie house sconces used on interior however. In '41 FLLW was already using lighting for sconces like at the Lloyd Lewis home in Libertyville, IL from '39. I see in the mud 40's he also was using shelf box lights with pull chains under to highlight seating areas and shelf items or even as wall accents on brick or wood wall next to table like at Laurent home in Rockford, IL. Your exterior roof view during rain storm was also really bringing it to life. The verticle slats on staircase are highlighted in your views also which adds to the "mystique" of Ellinwood interior experience. It's one of Wright top 20 smaller Usonian homes. Very good use of space. The only 2 changes I would have made would be the living room light screen slats all around the top of living room ceiling perimeter & moving the fireplace 3' more into living room which would allow proper width for making a better master bedroom above it as it would then allow for queen size bed against back of chimney wall. The second desk would then be opposite the other desk at side of balcony doors.

As always, your beautiful video honors the house it portrays.

Nicely done. A couple of comments (sorry a bit pedantic). The wood siding on the balconies especially was probably intended to be lap boards, not shiplap. The horizontal joint of the ship lap was usually around 3/4 inch up to about 1 inch. The joint was the usually the thickness of the exterior board on the walls, also usually around 7/8 inch. Same for the interior boards. The idea was to get the joints to "course out" with the brick and ceiling heights. Half the time the ship lap shown on the drawings ended up being horizontal board and batten because of waterproofing problems... Preferred wood would have been redwood which would be stained with linseed oil mostly to seal it, so it would be a bit lighter and browner than you've shown it. Occasionally it would be western cedar which is lighter and brownish grey. Normally the brick would be "struck" bed (horizontal) joints with flush head (vertical) joints. See the Sturges house or Wingspread for comparison of wood balconies/siding and brick (although the brick joints on Sturges are all standard tooled). Both are from roughly the same time period. Or maybe better see the Pew Residence. It is from the same time. The front door would usually be a plain sawn plywood veneer door with decorative wood added to it. The patio doors would probably be proposed as (usually specified as swamp) cypress or mahogany so that they would hold up in the weather (at least for a few years...). Again, nicely done. Looking forward to your next one!

Awesome... BUT... FLW always put the window-heavy side of the house facing the backyard, not the front yard. But you did a bang-up job here!

Beautiful 🤩

@Avila Arquitectos great work! Please do Wright’s cottage for Ayn Rand!

[@MisterJeffy]

The house is oriented backwards. This shows the private side of the house, with it glazed doors and generous fenestration, on the public or street side, and the privacy screening with its blank wall i on the private or rear side of the house. Privacy achieved by this orientation is an important feature Wright's houses.

siempre excelentes render ustedes! felicitaciones

[@dominique62dw]

Keep doing the fabulous job you are doing. The shade, shadow and light play inside and out are perfect. Even a sunrise and just before sunset views of exterior and interior would give feeling what it would feel like on Weekend breakfast lounging around house & also after dinner time to relax with sunset colors on inside. This is the only home Wright did not use perforated panels or clear windows above living room lower roof wrapping around the living room.

[@avilaarquitectos]

Thank you so much!

[@lawrencewagner8685]

Another interesting design of a beautiful, serene Usonian home. It is, however, hard to imagine the drive routed across the windowed (back) side of the building, as it would interrupt the view from inside.

[@hostarepairman]

What is the length of a side of the squares that give scale to the plan? From the size of the beds in the plans, i'm estimating close to 3 feet.

[@S2L.studio]

Mr Wright typically used 4'x4' as his grid. When he didn't use triangles and hexagons! :)

[@DarinRWagner]

I'd like to see you take another crack at this one but re-orient the house so that the window side is in the backyard.

[@anasananzeh8622]

wowoooo😯😯❤

[@matth4911]

Hugo and Steve, beautiful work! Are the halls and stairways actually that narrow? If either of you were to build a smaller Frank Lloyd Wright home based upon a square or rectangle, which would you choose?

[@DarleneOpam]

what program was used for the 2D model it looks so good

[@memphistennis1691]

FLW houses are the color of redwood picnic tables from my youth.....inside and out.

@1:47, you need to be a magician to conjure up dinner for six from the minute kitchen. The original house is beautiful, but would need to be tweaked if built today - a much bigger kitchen that would also allow dining, and a slightly pitched roof instead of being flat.

❤❤❤

[@skiptheroad]

The piano seems way to large. It appears to take up most of the living area. Otherwise,great job on the model. The design is spectacular.

[@TheKakarikoCucco]

terrible layout, wtf is that kitchen/dinning room?
