Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West: A brilliant architectural desert oasis
A World Heritage Site and National Historic Landmark in the desert foothills of the McDowell Mountains in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was Wright’s winter home and laboratory and established in 1937 and diligently handcrafted over many years. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and highly recommend this for everyone, regardless of their feelings towards Wright or architecture in general

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Wingspread: An inside and outside peak of this elegant and spectacular home
Переглядів 1,2 тис.Місяць тому
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1938-39 for the Herbert Fist Johnson Jr. family. It’s shaped like a four-winged pinwheel and spans approximately 14,000-square feet. It is located Racine, Wisconsin, and set in a 30-acre property with a wooden ravine and a series of ponds and lagoons. Unfortunately, my visit was in late November so the plush exterior greengage is not apparent, which i...

Completed in 1908 and located in Oak Park, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, it was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2019. I thoroughly loved the tour.

Louis Sullivan’s Charnley-Persky House with assistance from his junior draftsman, Frank Lloyd Wright
Переглядів 1,6 тис.6 місяців тому
Designed between 1891-1892, the Charnley-Persky House is recognized as a pivotal work of modern American architecture. Located in Chicago, it is a National Historic Landmark and now serves as the headquarters of the Society of Architectural Historians. In my opinion it is pretty cool, but as it is a utilized building, no original furniture is used and there is limited access to the bedrooms and...

Appears simplistic until you slow down and look at all the little details. The craftsmanship at every stage is beautifully understated.
@@fredsavage4925, I fully agree. The beauty is in the details
Really enjoyed this. Peaceful and beautiful design, right down to the little inventive details. Cheers.
@@RFToob, I agree. It’s a gem!
In 2025 there are no craftsman any more. I am seeing the last of them retire and nobody is learning this art anymore. Shame. Realtors and real estate has killed the architecture profession. There is no quality, just square footage and comps.
@@joegotz1971, fully agree. It’s sad. Suburbs, in my opinion, killed quality, beauty and craftsmanship
Love anything FLW has created, great video!
@@fredsavage4925 me too and thanks for viewing
I have to tell you. The sanguine music draws you into a study of the landscape which is unremarkable coupled with the weather that totally fits the music. WE CAN DO BETTER!!! This is supposed to be a Masterpiece, right? Well, the entrance into the interior offers respite.
Hermoso, beautiful..!! Which Taliesin do you prefer? ..........Do you think that you could do something at the Ennis House?
@@greatmustis, I actually liked West over the original. Ennis House is on my list-most likely over spring break
Why is there a lighted medicine cabinet inside the shower on the wall? At 7:48
@@janlassensession4209, excellent question. My guess is because the room is relatively small and it may be made for use whilst in the shower. Let me do some research and let you know
Another epic masterpiece from FLW! He was an amazing genius!
@@rebeccalott8625 definitely. Absolutely loved this place
@ if you haven’t been to Falling Waters in Southern Pennsylvania, be sure and put it on your bucket list! It’s incredible!
@, yes I have. Actually have a video of it on this UA-cam channel
I could see this as a triplex condo 🤗❤️
@@MisterHolaMan haha, it’s big enough
Ahhhhh, back when heating was cheap!
@@paulhagen546 definitely
The floor plan of this house is one of my favorites in architecture... Four wings with specific functions that spread on the site... Just beautiful !!! Great tour ! Thanks and... What's next ?
@@greatmustis I agree. The layout is great and I absolutely love the house! Not sure what is next. I may head to Phoenix in January for Taliesin West
Nice quality,what phone you using?
@@willgooday iPhone 15. But concert videos on ground floor are different due to heads bobbing in the way. I actually dislike what I did, but did the best I could considering a 6’4” noisy egghead in front of me. What do you use?
It sure would be nice to have some captions. A little too much mood and no facts. Thanks, otherwise.
@@gonzalogonzalez4220 thanks for viewing and the feedback.
Beautiful house and grounds and fabulous video. I really appreciated the serenity of it with no voiceover. Thank you!
@@robertgreen7926 thank you for the kind words and watching
A big prairie house with unlimit Budget ... Nice shots.... What's next ?
@@greatmustis hopefully Wingspread in Wisconsin. How about you? Any plans or adventures
@@markdhecimovich2568 I'm from Ecuador. I hope someday to visit the U.S oooh I love the Johnson house, I love that zoned house, I love the floor plan of wingspread
@@greatmustis, when you do plan to visit let me know and I can meet you at one of his places
Your many video/photostreams look at space the way Frank could do this in his mind before finishing drawings with each of your works revealing things rather hard to see on a tour when the overall can dazzle causing us to miss things. Your work is fresh. I can visualize how Frank would just move on to new things as he would see whole new works in little details that you seem to catch for us viewers. I often need to see your work many times in different ways over different aspects in my busy life to appreciate it in more depth. APPLAUSE!
@@oldthoughtsnewthoughts8614 thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it. Truly
It’s beautiful! The state of Illinois and Dana Thomas House Foundation are the ones who care for the home
Is this privately owned? or is it under a trust? Very beautiful building❤
Beautiful video. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
@@samhklm thank you for the kind words and for viewing
This Is ❤... One of my favorite buildings ever... Thanks.. what's next !!
@@greatmustis it’s a wonderful building and I loved the tour. The Dana Thomas house is next
@@markdhecimovich2568 omg... amazing.... a huge house with tons of details..!!
@@greatmustisindeed, but I was not allowed to video or take photos inside
What are the openings in the roof over hang called? The growth of plants that shade them is wonderful. What do I call them? Trellises? Pergolas? Porticos? Brise Soleils?
@@glennmartin6492 tell you the truth I do not know. I will definitely need to check
@@markdhecimovich2568 Until you do I'm going to call them "leaf orifices".
@@glennmartin6492 may end up in a dictionary someday🤣
Wisconsin was gifted with the creations of Frank Lloyd Wright.
@@501rivet definitely and how lucky
@@markdhecimovich2568 ...Wright seemed to place design as the main feature of his creations, then incorporated human use of space into the design. The breakfast nooks, the multi windowed walls providing an openness to the outdoors regardless of what was on the other side, creating a generous feeling of living space. Wrights pure "divine" design use of those spaces was, is, not for everyone, which can betray the unique streamlined layouts, if in the hands of a less "connected" tenant.
@@501rivet well said!
Thank you for this video. This house is one of the true gems. It's impossible to convey a sense of its beauty without being there, but this video serves as a lovely invitation.
@@johnarthos2492 thank you very kindly. It is a beautiful home and worth visiting.
@@johnarthos2492 thank you very kindly. It is a beautiful home and worth visiting.
Excuse me? My wife and I stayed at the Price Tower. Last time I checked it was a hotel and was totally designed by FLW.
@@larrysorenson4789 thank you for the comment. Yes, it is a hotel now and one I would love to visit. However, it not originally designed as a hotel and henceforth the title. Regardless, both are wonderful. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts
Beautiful!! What's Next?
@@greatmustis thank you. Hopefully Taliesin West in Phoenix. Thanks for the kind words
Lovely video. It’s a shame the Munkwitz Duplex Apartments (1916) were destroyed.
@@briantuma1502 that’s so interesting. Where in Milwaukee were they located? I would like to do some research on them. Thanks for that
@@markdhecimovich2568 Located at 27th and Highland Blvd. I don’t know the exact address. Officials name was Arthur Munkwitz Duplex Apartments. A friend of mine has a stained glass window from the place
@@briantuma1502 that’s cool. Cheers. I will be in the area next weekend so will definitely check it out
Lovely video; thank you for the tour. If you ever get the chance to see the Guggenheim in Bilbao, Spain, it's well worth the visit. That one was done by Frank Gehry.
@@derekdcomedian thank you for the kind words. I am a big fan of Gehry’s and will definitely get to Bilbao.
de las mejores Guias virtuales que vi del guggenheim
@@marmar9400 thank you for viewing
Великолепно.
His domiciles are so well done they provoke an emotional response at the mere sight. Falling Water chokes me up. Same here. Maybe they're not the most livable, but they're visually stunning always.
@@thudeets I agree! Thanks for viewing
I have very few things on my bucket list but one of them is to visit Fallingwater with my two sons when they're the age I think they might be able to appreciate his work. I think about walking up to the house and I know it will bring me to tears. Like you said even thinking about it tears me up. I was trying to design a lounge chair a few weeks ago and was having problems making it look modern, streamlined and sleek, so just thinking about this man designing an entire house to bring an emotional or spiritual connection to it just blows me away. Greatest American architect ever baby!
@@ricardorinconvillareal9305 definitely go!
Amazing and beautiful. We are so lucky to have works by Sullivan and Wright still around.
@@madamemarmot I agree. Thanks for viewing
Lived on Burnham in The 90's. Passed the House and Apartments every day on the way to work. They look much better now than they did back then.
@@johnnyho8765 cool. Thanks for viewing
The beginning of all... Home and Studio
@@greatmustis absolutely. From there he grew. Thanks for viewing
It's a beautiful house !! That hallway is one of the most beautiful in the world !!
@@greatmustis, it is stunning. Thank you for viewing
Wonderful
@@stephenstephen1505, it’s a beautiful structure. Thank you for viewing
The building is in harmony with the landscape.
That was a beautiful tour of a beautiful house. THANK YOU!
@@kennethgustavison1812 thanks for viewing
Thank you for this wonderful video and the great shots. Very well made!
@@noellaq8056 that is very kind of you to say. However, it is all due to the structure and not me.
Masterpiece !!
It’s a brilliant structure. Thanks for viewing
Interesting but not pretty. Harsh and too square. Why we have so many different architectural designs. Everyone likes different stuff.
That is very insightful. One thing is that viewing via video or photographs is vastly different than being in person. In person you may have a slightly different opinion. Nonetheless, thank you for viewing and your valuable critique
I rather like it because it’s literally ‘outside of the box’. Too many houses are just plain boxes IMO
It’s a shame the house is so sparsely furnished. As a visitor attraction it would help ppl visualize the spaces much better were they fully furnished. I still really like it tho
@@catclelland2447 I agree! I am very disappointed that it is devoid of appropriate furniture. Furthermore, the U of Chicago uses it for gatherings etc….in my opinion that is just wrong considering its historical significance
@@catclelland2447 truth
Amazing. Everything straight as an arrow. No settlement
More livable than many of his projects, deft touch.
For sure, but the hallway and bedrooms are small and the kitchen tight
I'm a big fan of ASBH... Thanks for this !!
Thank you for viewing and the kind words
Lovely, thank you very much!
Thanks for viewing
Good video, enjoy watching!!
Thank you
Nice video 👏 Beautiful landscape!! I have done few drone shots, uploaded on the same platform, for my travel channel...thanks! SUBSCRIBED
Thank you and I just subscribed to your channel
@@markdhecimovich2568 thank you very much, appreciate 🙏
One of his BEST usonians... No doubt !! Thanks for sharing
Agree and thanks for watching
Which city is this?
Mason City, Iowa. Wright also designed a house there (Stockman) as well as Louis Sullivan, Walter Burley Griffin, who went on to design Canberra, the capital of Australia. Matter of fact Mason City has one of the foremost collections of Prairie-style homes in the world
Omg... What a video... Thanks... it would be nice to see more of your videos of F.LL.W

Wow, what a vacation❤
