  • Today Architectural Digest brings you to Phoenix, Arizona to tour the final home ever designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The stunning “Circular Sun House” flows seamlessly from one room to the next within it’s concentric floorpan, complementing the craggy hills of Palm Canyon. As the last design completed in his lifetime, this remarkable property is a fitting testament to Wright’s enduring genius.

      FLR told a story with his use of windows. The "sun" in "Sun House" is symbolically captured in the round cut outs of the home, juxtaposed against the moon pool. He was particular with how he oriented his houses to maximize how the light shines through the shapes of his homes and bounces off the wall (depending on the time and even seasons). This contrasts with our over exposed, floor to ceiling window style that is popular in modern design now. FLR lighting and use of shadows was purposeful and edited....including making it comfortable for those living in hot heat.

    It’s more like 1.5 million max. Most people sell Wright designed homes because they cannot make changes to suit them, so the buyers have to be aware of what they’re getting into. Also what from what I’ve seen in past , I see that people are apprehensive about owning one cause it’s so difficult and expensive to maintain and hard to sell. Yes there’s history and the unique design to consider but it’s so difficult to make a Wright home homey and comfortable.

      For too many years FLW homes were considered "out of style" and people did make changes are ruined many, many FLW masterpieces. The beautiful Avery and Queenie Coonley House in Riverside IL was once broken up into 4 apartments and was nearly lost. So many houses were "changed to suit" the buyers and lost all their charm and uniqueness.
      If one wants a house that one can destroy with "updated" flash every few years, there are plenty of uninspired houses on the market that can be muddled to death if one chooses. :)
      Now that many are undoing the damage done to these beautiful Wright homes, they are protected by the FLW Trust and other organizations. Most houses actually *can* be changed, but you will lose the National Register of Historic Places designation and would not be eligible for grants or loans from the Trust and the Organization to do these things.
      Why buy a masterpiece and turn it into a home that looks like every other house on HGTV? Heaven save me from Waterfall Islands and overused Subway Tile, etc.
      When one buys a house like this, one is buying a piece of architectural history. For most who love and live in FLW homes, this is the appeal.

    I feel like this house looks somewhat interesting and different on the outside but so dark, gloomy, and dated on the inside... Don't understand why someone would pay 8M to live in it. Library? That tiny little room with built-in bookshelves and a tiny little table flat against the wall (that almost looks like a fold-out table)? Nothing inspiring you to read or to even stay in the room... It seems that the washrooms in that house are bigger than the so-called library. The long corridor with identical-looking cabinets all along it, the porthole-like windows in the kitchen and office space... It IS almost like a ship but not in a good way... More like a submarine... It just doesn't seem inviting at all... And so dark... Maybe it's just the way the camera renders the light in this video...
    I understand that the architect's name adds to the value of the house but 8 million dollars? Really?

      Wright's work was genius for his time but people and families have changed so much since 1958, as have their expectations of a house. Given the setting and time period this house was likely designed with overhangs and small windows to maximize energy efficiency in addition to being aesthetically pleasing. Residential air conditioning was not yet inexpensive or commonplace and the design of the house provided respite from the relentless sun and heat.
      People of the mid-20th Century also had fewer possessions and were used to smaller rooms and less comfortable furniture. Wright's vision would have been that you were in the library to study or read, not to be wowed with a view or cushy furniture. Bedrooms were for rest. Kitchens were about function and work, not entertainment or relaxation. Leisure time would have been spent in the main living room or outdoors. Nowadays people like to relax everywhere.

      I know. I just don't get it with all of his stuff, and why it was considered so 'great'. I suppose it was forward-thinking for it's day, and it didn't look quite so cheap and stick-built at the time, but to me his designs haven't aged particularly well (both physically and conceptually). I know he didn't have the benefit of foresight, but I always wonder why he didn't get some soaring height to the rooms and large windows. It's not like those things were unknown at the time. Again, just cheap cost-cutting feeling, to me. Maybe I judge to harshly, but lastly, to pay almost $8 million for a place, which from the sky, is shaped like a penis, a dong, is a bit beyond the pale.

      The fact that this is being flipped is repulsive. The person may be seeking to benefit from post covid demand (at worst greed) and that also is disingenuous to a point. You want 8 mil? You polish it in the sprit of it's design, since 199,4 adding some approved updating or even an additional wing. You do not buy a FLW home expecting it to be turn key with the same layout, open floor plan and state of the art interior. Many commentors here are not taking those parameters into account. This is a masterpiece of it's time and I prefer this circular layout more than some other organic houses he designed. Yet living in one of his homes 24/7, I don't think I could do unless it would be a second home that I would, without hesitation, continue to allow visitors. it is possible to add modern amenities to a historic home, It is how it is done and should be done conservatively in the same spirit of the architect. Too many historic homes are ruined by overdoing that and thankfully the foundation exists among others to referee these proposals. This home is worth to me no more than $2 mil because if the foundation approved some updating, that will be another large amount of money. I love his work, would like to own one of his houses. And not all are created equally.

    Frank Lloyd Wright DID INDEED invent the carport, and the word, as well.
    He designed and built the world's first carport for the very first of his modest "Usonian" homes, the Jacobs #1 house, in Madison Wisconsin in 1936. In describing the carport he said, "A car is not a horse, and it doesn't need a barn." And because back in 1936, cars did not seal perfectly well, all that was required to keep it dry, was a roof.
    The impossibly small support pillar for the very extended cantilever which supported the entire carport was criticised by other architects, but several years after completion, a car rolled across the street, and took out the cantilever support post. The carport sagged somewhat as a result - more than a foot in fact, but the carport did not collapse.
    How do I know this? In 2008 I built a house based on Jacobs-1, in Christchurch, NZ, after several years of design and study.
