Very well done! Very tight editing and I loved the drone footage. As an FLW fan, I toured this house (pre-COVID) and they wouldn't let me take photos of the interior. Glad you were able to capture the house in its entirety and share it with the world. Cheers!
@@camlady8961 I respectfully disagree. Had my docent allowed I would have filled my camera’s memory card with interior shots. She simply wouldn’t allow it.
Thank you so much ! I love modern contemporary this was well done back then, and today it still a look I would love to live in. They have something called a shed style home so ME, again much thanks
As a Frank Lloyd Wright home owner This is the first time I’ve ever seen a screened in porch on any of Mr. Wrights homes Please can anyone tell me if this was done by original design Or just a beautiful afterthought
Yes, it was Wright's work and he provided screened porches on several other houses as well. As you might expect, they are like no other screened porches that you have ever seen.
Would anyone like to explain what a Usonian house is? Isn’t it Wright’s prototype for an affordable middle-class house that could be replicated without alterations, unlike Wright’s custom-designed large houses/mansions like Fallingwater or the Robie House? Isn’t the importance of the Pope-Leighy house that it is both in a great state of preservation and that it is open to the public?
Not to be "replicated without alteration". Every Usonian house is unique, custom designed for the site and owner but adhering to shared principles of: open floor plan which Wright pioneered (known as "breaking the box"), inviting the outside in, designed on a grid (2' by 4' at Pope-Leighey), no basement, heated concrete floors, etc.
love these homes, but I wish the FLW community could come together and agree to let these homes get their kitchens updated without destroying their value
The flat rooftops makes me wonder why FLW did not utilize the roof space. I can totally see a staircase leading upward with some kind of deck/patio on top and even a garden.
Why some people want to photograph an object with a never-ending movement of their camera is beyond my understanding. If this house were an animate object that was always in motion, maybe there would be an excuse to do that but since it sits still as it has for the last 60-plus years maybe you could pause if only briefly on some details of organization or function. Not within your mind-set since you got your flying robot camera? Too bad. You wasted my time.
Hey, not so fast. Wright sent one or more of his trustworthy "apptentices" to supervise the construction of many of the houses that he designed to guide the contractor in getting the details right (or "Wright") so there would be no inconsistency between the design and the building of the houses. Of course this was an additional service he provided to the owner at an extra cost but primarily to keep unsympathetic details from being constructed by someone who was not schooled in how the Usonian system was supposed to work and look. Sometimes the details were not all shown on the drawings for every situation and had to be developed at the site - not something Wright was willing to risk by the "uneducated".
If I owned a FLW designed home, Id probably hardly ever go out. They just seem so warm and the way that we should live.
Thanks for making and sharing :)

Appreciate the kind words. Thanks!
I'm a guide at Pope-Leighey, interior photos have ALWAYS been allowed.

Good job, thank you for sharing this.
Great video... I love this house
Thanks for making the video. The wood walls are red cypress.

It`s so beautiful!
Great video! So much like a dream.
So cool. Thank you!
I was there and took a tour of this house. Its one of Wrights better Usonian homes.
I believe the wood is cypress, not cedar.
I believe it is Black Lives Matter.

It was in the blueprints..My husband and I moved it and restored it in 1996
I was surprised to see that screened porch
So screening a pool could be cannon. 😀
nice house, thanks.

I think you explained it.
Next, can anyone explain what "rhetorical" means? ;)

The wood is red tidewater cypress...
Looks like George Jetson lives there

He didn't build it. He designed it. There is a difference.

Exactly right - drives me crazy when people say Wright built the houses, he did not, he designed them.
Geez, stop touching the wood and brick, don't touch anything.
