House Tour: See Inside Frank Lloyd Wright's ‘Dream House' in Wisconsin

[@rubberdc]

It was nice to hear that the son of the owners visits and likes to see his old room .

[@matthewstavrowsky2393]

There was never another architect so unique in his vision or so ahead of his time. A truly amazing artist.

[@fromyou10]

great pyramid architects were way cooler

[@MrAlla2552]

Absolutely correct Mathew S.

[@jackjax7921]

Antoni Gaudi would like to have a word

Architects may come, and architects may go And never change your point of view When I run dry I'll stop awhile and think of you - Simon and Garfunkel

[@timmmahhhh]

​@@gospelofrye6881interestingly Paul Simon knew little about FLW and the song was his goodbye to former architecture student Art Garfunkel. Art himself didn't know this until the duo broke up.

[@elephantintheroom5678]

My German dad designed and built a house remarkably like this, he even made the bricks himself. He was a very talented man who didn't have the education to build a career in architecture. He was a very good man, too. He must have been influenced by Lloyd Wright.

[@stevenj9970]

Wright build mid-century modern homes BEFORE there WERE mid-century modern homes.... LOVE his work!!

[@joeseymour4073]

Yes! ☺️

[@michaelepp6212]

I had a friend, a touring musician, who had the chance to stay in an FLW house and asked the owner, "1950s?". The answer was 1912.

[@stevenj9970]

@@michaelepp6212 see ???

[@tracywilliams7929]

I like the way FLW acknowledged that some of us love to read and write by including lots of shelf space and study nooks. It's really hard to find this in the luxury market in California which has homes built on a foundation of stereotypes about being shallow and hedonistic.

[@MrAlla2552]

Hi Tracy, So sorry to hear. I blame it on the current education of Architects and the way Senior architects use their understudies to make money not art.

[@AndieWalsh333]

This is an absolute delight. My mother grew up in a house designed by one of Frank Lloyd Wright's students, Antonin Raymond. She had a balcony off her childhood bedroom.

[@magicknight13]

That sounds wonderful!

[@judygarnet425]

I Love The House! It makes a Wonderful Statement! All of his architecture is timeless! ❤️💖❤️

[@badapple65]

Perfect. I Cannot get enough of FLW. I search out the latest content uploaded to KZbin. Save all I find in different files. A little obsessed maybe.

[@austinwinchester]

3:00 the grain on all the cabnetery lines up. Thats nice

[@BradThePitts]

Very well narrated home tour. Everything you'd like to know and more importantly, nothing exaggerated or flowered-up. I also appreciate the honesty and saying something negative, for example, the door hitting the toilet.

[@VivianMcall]

"How the average American could live." I frickin wish!

[@shubus]

What a wonderful tour of this famous house. So great to see it being well maintained.

[@markisherwood-tj4uo]

Loved the trip down memory lane .. I lived 1 block from here .. my friend's family bought this place and lived there .. spent quite a bit of time there out on the dock and in the woods .. lol we even made wine up in the maid's room

[@gregpendrey6711]

Very cool. I felt like there must have been water but the tour was short. Great memory to have. I remember a couple designed homes from childhood. I try to look them up on Earth sometimes. The aren’t bunches in the Seattle neighborhood but plenty Tudor revival middle class homes

[@JHPine]

The epitome of sublime and utilitarian design all wrapped up in the warmth of brick and wood!

[@startreker8591]

The background noise could have been piped down😢

[@karthikshetty2206]

That is visionary design even for today.

[@nealsidor1323]

Beautiful interiors. It is unfortunate that there was so little video of the homes exterior...

[@magicknight13]

Wow, incredible!!!! Thank you so much!

[@Maxharddrive64]

Is it me or is it a coincidence. that some doctor's and major Hospital's entrance and halls and Some interior/exterior look as if the design were inspired by Wright?

[@RailpaxScott]

Great tour! The background "music" only distracts and disturbs. The tap tap tap is annoying.

[@Rocks_Dad]

I believe Hitchcock used some of FLWs home designs for the home at the end of "North by Northwest" . Very neat. Thanks

[@JoeFabeetz-w3r]

Beautiful house, great photography, fine script and narration but, for the love of God, please make that music stop.

[@joeseymour4073]

Yeah really I’ll never understand why people producing countless videos on here insist on adding music. And that tapping sound is really annoying. 😖

[@LindaKing-nq6ut]

Love F LW’s architecture…have visited several of his homes…all are unique yet also have some commonalities..Falling Water..magical,Taliesin West,Graycliff,The Martin House(Buffalo) The Boathouse(Buffalo)

[@samtriglone8858]

The story of the bathroom door is worth more than a fully functioning door would be nowadays ☺

[@tombrewsaugh1399]

Beautiful home.

[@Winterfell1066]

Fantastic house. Thanks for sharing.

[@johne.3697]

If you're meaning Streator brick, it may have been purchased in Chicago, but it was manufactured in Streator, Illinois.

[@dasikakn]

Was a sliding door or pocket door not an option for that bathroom? At the very least maybe the door should have been installed opening outwards.

[@joeseymour4073]

A pocket door would’ve been awesome! 👍🏻

[@j1a2c3k4kidd]

an hgtv show I would actually watch would be 3 experts. 1 flw expert that appraises houses working with 1 working architect, and 1 contractor. they can check out the classics and try to recreate a modern one (if possible) id watch that

[@procrastnwriter]

why do all I think of is how I'd probably have to wear thick slippers and a sweater all the time, lol

[@brett6626]

When I imagine what my future house is going to look like one day, I think of this.

[@peterhoward9457]

We will definitely visit next time we are in the US.

[@AmosAmerica]

Great post! Thanks!

[@C.Hawkshaw]

It’s much “warmer” than l expected. Is the wood red cedar? Fir?

[@markisherwood-tj4uo]

cypress

[@C.Hawkshaw]

@@markisherwood-tj4uoThank you.

[@nickmanofredda8803]

There isn't a single house in FLW that doesn't fascinate me, except Falling Water, which despite being his best-known work, paradoxically is the one I like least.

[@BarlowPalminteri]

Quixotic. Fascinating for the horrific psychology of his conceptions.

[@montvilleo]

Wright would have loved CLT wood panels I think !

[@KJSvitko]

Large roof over hangs are beautiful and protect the doors, windows and siding from rain and moisture damage. Water is the enemy of buildings. Architects and home builders need to bring back large roof over hangs

[@andrewmoore8635]

Outstanding

[@PaulaDTozer]

Revolutionary, especially for that era.

[@pyrexmaniac]

The door hardware is interesting.....I've never seen piano hinges used on domestic interior doors.

[@horsymandias-ur]

Can you imagine a world where Americans took seriously this standard for the average middle class home.

[@bethshaw1554]

Beautiful

[@felixdatche9278]

The brickwork is just amazing...although your background music is overwhelming and distracting.

[@pimentoso]

Genius.

[@ManInTheBigHat]

Like Eames, the ideas are budget minded. Yet decades later - everything these guys made is at a premium.

[@ManInTheBigHat]

Wouldn't it be nice if the droning musical score were left out of this video? The narration is interesting enough. For example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnaZdmqsqap-epY

[@majeedtaouk3038]

Compression and release was his specialty upon entering

[@lunaholiday8585]

Terrific!

[@Tatokala]

Is it used as living house or as an resort?

[@irl3438]

He wanted it to be affordable, and now it's priceless 😂

[@KCJbomberFTW]

This is literally Minecraft spec It feels like a professional is reviewing my 10 year old build

[@m.entera3196]

If you've ever been IN a FLW home, you'll experience why his work is famous.

[@nunyabitnezz2802]

How do you clean those high windows? ‘Affordable housing’ can’t afford window cleaning companies.

[@acmelka]

The color of the floor was 'navaho red'

[@tigerphid9677]

Wright used brick, stone and wood to create his pioneering modernist designs. The Bauhaus architects used steel, glass and concrete.

[@mustardtiger5080]

nice...

[@nicktheman1828]

His homes are unique but a home should be comfortable. I don’t get that feeling from his work. I’m also 6’6 so one of his homes would’ve never worked for me.

[@BarlowPalminteri]

“Watch your step.” Amazing how little regard this designer had for human shelter and comfort. His projects are uninhabitable formalist exercises. Worth a tour to expose the myth of his genius.

[@RAREFORMDESIGNS]

I know. Can you imagine designing a house with steps to walk down to another level ? Good eye and what a failure he was.

[@BarlowPalminteri]

@@RAREFORMDESIGNS Shelter, comfort, accommodation, space, light. These were sacrificed to visionary concepts. I don’t think one could live in such environments for long and escape injury or depression.

[@NitroModelsAndComics]

I dig FLR houses and his designs but make them livable for us. Internet, modern amenities is not a lot to ask for. The house doesnt get changed by putting in a stove or toilet that is modern. I never understood that part of some of these. And making them all into museums is also just silly. It is a House. You live in it. Still love FLR, just saying.

[@ransomcoates546]

Does the roof leak per usual?

[@markisherwood-tj4uo]

yes leaks happen .. they put on a rubber I believe roof .. never leaked when I was there

[@geneharper7535]

ha, that door at 4:13 is exactly like the door to my bedroom

[@markisherwood-tj4uo]

stairs going up aren't that wide ... this is before ada .. a handrail would have choked those stairs down and been more of a hazard

[@mlc2158]

😍

[@guyb7005]

i would find it too dark, especially on an overcast day

[@michaelspeakman351]

Once again there does not need to be annoying background music which takes away from the interesting story of possibly the greatest architect who ever lived. Please don't ruin future documentaries regarding Frank Lloyd Wright...quiet reflection is much more desirable. Thank you

[@danmoore3660]

All of his houses look like offices or libraries. Not homey at all

[@ManInTheBigHat]

Notice no horrible granite counter tops!

[@petez4608]

Love it. Less decorative.

[@michaela1655]

A very nice house. But no handrail on the staircase?! Yikes!

[@andremansa1]

You just know Katherine Schwarzenegger would LOVE to raze this house

[@springblossom81]

Poor choice of music. Really.

[@brianwaskow5910]

Upstairs bathroom the door hits the toilet.

[@joeseymour4073]

No one saw that lol.

[@geerowr.6666]

I think FLW was annoyed with the homeowner. He always thought his designs were perfect.When the owner of Falling Water balked at the plans FLW told him off. 😆 Needless to say the homeowner acquiesced to Wright's plans and never regretted it.,

[@C.Hawkshaw]

Oh come on! He was a Scorpio rising. Ever tried to push a Scorpio around? Of course he made that door hit the toilet for revenge! 😂

[@Pauly365]

Tacky. And leaky.

[@henrycrum3018]

Wright knew what he was doing.

[@cindycharest3035]

He was short and designed for his own height

[@14ariel77]

Nice but in my opinion Frank Lloyd houses are a bit overrated, they are usually dark and sometimes feel like office spaces rather than living spaces

[@KJSvitko]

New homes need to adjust to the times. Home solar energy and battery storage are now more common. Electric vehicles are becoming more popular every year. Every garage should include a 220 volt outlet and electric vehicle charger. Every new home and business should install a rain water collection and storage system along with solar panels. Even in areas where rain is infrequent it is crazy to waste the little rain that does fall and waste it. We need to stop planting green lawns and switch to local native plantings around homes. It is crazy to plant lawns and build golf courses in dry desert areas. We waste too much water and electricity. the future is electric. Wind and solar energy along with electric vehicles are the future. Stop using fossil fuels. There is a climate crisis.

[@johnpacella9519]

Looks like a bankrupt suburban mall.

This guy has a different gender preference than Wright.

They mentioned that it was one of his more economical Usonian homes.
