- Today AD travels to Connecticut to tour Tirranna, one of legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s final designs. Considered one of the greatest architects of all time, Frank Lloyd Wright produced over 1000 designs in a career spanning 70 years, revolutionizing architecture in the United States. A pioneer of organic architecture, Wright believed any building should exist in harmony with its inhabitants and surroundings-a concept that runs through the veins of Tirranna. Join Stuart Graff, president and CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, as he walks you through one of the final designs of Wright’s career.

Can we have LESS celebrity OpenDoors episodes, and MORE of this?
Yes please!
Absolutely. Spot on, exactly what I thought.
Please! ☺️
Yes please ❤
How about a compromise 3 decent design history commissions for each slightly nauseating celebrity NYC or SoCal property?
AD doing a favor to humanity by covering these Frank Lloyd Wright gems, hopefully there's more of these videos to come
I like how warm that house feels, a nap in there during the rain must be something else.
Warm? It’s dark and cold. All Wrights houses are.
Would love a video like this for each one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s houses!!
Me too!😁
agreed!
Same! This house is amazing!
Yes, please!!!!! 😊🌺🐞
We live near a couple they’re so cool !
I have a deep admiration for Frank Lloyd-Wright's philosophy. This house took my breath away, it blends in with the nature surrounding it so seamlessly. This video was such a soothing watch.
When you look at the distant shots of the house, looking across the water, you can see that Wright perfectly matched the color of the concrete blocks to the color of the surrounding boulders, which is one of the primary mechanisms for integrating the house to the land, to give you the feeling that the house is growing up out of the ground.
I love how time hasn't changed Wright's original idea of coexistence with nature but rather it has made this connection stronger by helping the building "settle in" the surrounding environment and become one with it.
What a fantastic narration of this property.Just a wonderful,special property.Thank you very much !
His architecture was ahead of its time and very well-made. ❤
Wright used high quality materials... however some of his houses and buildings have leaky roofs and structural problems (cantilevered designs).
One of the most beautiful houses I've ever seen. Perfectly organic and inviting.
WOW! I've been a fan of Wright for decades and never knew about this house. It's beautiful beyond words. OMG!
Even compared to his other designs, this place is quite the masterpiece.
To be surrounded by nature is to be surrounded by peace.
An architecture that impacts the natural setting of the place is like a falling leaf in an uninterrupted ground but at the same time has a lot of impact on how humans live alongside the environment. I really admire Wright's philosophy to his architecture.
Riveting and spiritually soothing and I finally understand the “why” of small bedrooms and narrow hallways opening into large, open living spaces. It’s breathtaking how the land and water perfectly frame this exquisite house…just wow.
What a perfect blend of architecture and nature
This is so much more than a house, it would be a shame to not think more of it as a repository of feelings in nature, immersive and alive. Not all such places visually thrive in winter, this embraces it and because of the materials allows it, encourages it to invite you in. Cool concrete when it is hot, warm Philippine mahogany when it is cold, creating multiple environments to inhabit. Thank you so much, AD for producing this with such respect and awe.
Usually i prefer large English country houses, but this is so peaceful and serene. I love everything about it.
This reminds me of Japanese garden very much. I posted videos in my channel about it.
The chain that rain is falling along it can be seen in temples in Japan very often.
It is incredible design and felt the respect of the nature.
Just said it has a Japanese feel,. Sheer natural beauty
Thank you for creating this very "Zen" video - beautiful, intentional, quiet, enlightening. Will definitely watch more than once!
I had never seen this one. The architecture really shows who designed it.
It's curious how structural design elements were brought up so often when this is one of Wright's biggest weaknesses and a leading reason why so many of his building were demolished or in need of massive repair. Granted by this point in time much of the engineering aspect was likely done by other people within his agency after learning his earlier mistakes. At this point in time in the US architecture and engineering were largely learned at a company and not a university. University education in engineering was largely a product of the space race.
Still as a designer there are few that compare to the beauty of many of his designs. Prairie School and American Arts and Crafts design is in my opinion some of the premier architectural design ever.
Thank you for sharing this awe inspiring structure. I am a huge fan of FLW and this is just a feast for the eyes.
Despite different space needs, including the height of the rooms, the whole thing enchanted me, and the story about this "place to live"/"place in life" is very beautiful and valuable. So calming, beautiful, and holistic.
Such an interesting piece, beautifully narrated.
That greenhouse area is beautiful!
Beauty, comfort, appreciation for the materials and for natural landscape elements. Perfection.
I love this place because it’s serene, carefully built, and cautious to the property.
Beautiful video, insightful narrative, thoroughly informative-- and a FLW house with which I was completely unfamiliar. Bravi, tutti!
Beautiful video and stunning architecture. Thank you for allowing us into this amazing space.
Simply astonishing.
Beautiful place. The landscape architecture is exquisite as well.
Ha, I thought he said "Toronto" and I didn't know Wright had a structure named Toronto. Locally many people here pronounce the city name exactly like this. Spelled Toronno or Toronna
☝🏽💯
Wonderfully narrated and educational video of a masterpiece.....I have never heard of!!
Rest in peace 🙏

That long passageway with the glass panels reminds me of the house in "Ozarks". Love that house
Amazing house and Stuart Graff gave the best tour ever!
For a very long time, I have admired the architecture of FLW, with Falling Water being my favorite. This house just became my new favorite. I love everything about it. Thanks for sharing!!!
Fallingwater.
Beautifully presented! Poetic and reverent just like the house itself 🍂
That incredible structure is like a beautiful sonnet by the way it tells a story.
Quite stunning, beautiful, serene. Thank you for creating and sharing this.
This is an amazing property thank you for presenting it so effortlessly.
I’m so in awe of this. Such peace and serenity.
Thank you AD. My heart was racing as Mr. Graff toured us through the property and explained Wright’s signature elements. This video is a treasure and a wonderful homage to FLW.
Your heart raced when you watched this video? You dweeb
I absolutely love spaces like this.
Currently for sale in New Canaan (CT) for $7 million... has been on the market about 8-months but appears to be pending sale.
The price of a fixer-upper in SFO
I never knew of Tirranna. I love Falling Waters but it seems more fantasy... difficult to live in. Tirranna looks like so comfortable... single panned glass aside ;)
Fallingwater.
I love how skylights and both the transom and clerestory windows break up the mass of this house.
The filming itself is so soothing…a sensory experience ❤❤❤ Beautiful
Nice job with this, AD. Beautifully done feature.
Beautiful! I agree why isn't modern architecture one with nature?
Lovely commentary articulating so much of what I think about how one might live. Thanks.
Genius. Beautifully filmed and presented. Thank you.
Exquisite! Love his design here.. Enjoyed every second of this.. Great tour. Well done 👏👏
This house makes me emotional for some reason
Amazing, i'm in complete awe. Love FLW so much
Terrific and informative video. Simple and straightforward analysis of the ideas behind this design. Can you please do more videos with this narrator and in this visual style on other FLW's houses.
I hope that someone who appreciates gardening can own this house next! Seeing all of these empty planters just makes me wonder if this is what he wanted his legacy to be. Expensive houses without the touches of love he intended
The beauty and peace! Seeing the pond makes me think of the phrase, as above, so below. You see the obscured image in the pond only to lift your gaze to the perfected structure above.
Absolutely beautiful and serene! Just watching this video stirred many emotions.
Thankyou for sharing this amazing house.
I feel such peace and pleasure watching this video
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous video thank you
Beautiful. I wouldn't want to live there bc I don't want to ruin such a piece of art.
I mean...just beautiful and so inspirational, thankyou x
The most beautiful house I have ever seen. It is art! I want to see a video of each season of the year to see how the house changes with the environment.
I have gone to like 3 of his houses! It is though cramped when you go inside.
I have been inside over 30. I don't think you know what you're talking about.
Thank you video brilliant compliment
Frank Lloyd Wright ❤️🔥
Hermosa Casa, Bello lugar!!!
Warm & Cozy….love❤
grand master's Frank Lloyd Wright
Joyous!!...thank you...dgp/uk
This is a beautiful building , and as i watched the film the haunting sound of the music and water just made my eyes glaze over . so soothing .
Very Cool - I live a couple towns away on a similar river.
Thanks for this.
Spectacular!
Breathtaking.
Whatever is going on in your life, that may be troubling, causing you sadness or sorrow. Watch this. The gentle pace, music, and narration, all wrapped around, the sheer beauty of the building and its setting, will just, if even for a short time, melt troubles away.....
beautiful
Beautiful!
Frank Lloyd Wright is Heaven on Earth! I am a retired architect living in a RAM Promaster City Van. I feel the 50 sq. ft. for my van interior has some of the charm of Wright's design in my van interior and it's relation to nature.
…. What?
Breathtaking
Such a great analysis
I will probably never live in such a beautiful place.
But it fills my hearth with joy, knowing it exists. :)
I hope that - with new technologies such as 3D house printing emerging - in the future most houses will be similar in nature (no pun intended) as the ones designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
As many people as possible should be able to live in such homes. :)
so beautiful
amazing video!
Wow, what a place.
I believe that the rate of mental ill ness would decrease of s the people had a residence like this
Thank you!
Fantastic thank you
extraordinary!
Fabulous.
Oh la la. Excellent
it looks even more amazing when it's covered in snow.
Beautiful.
Incredible
The curve of the windows is beautifully reminiscent of Earthship designs.
What a beautiful house and Property!
