- The Still Bend home is known for being Frank Lloyd Wright’s ‘built version of his LIFE Magazine ‘Dream House’ design from 1938.” Co-owner Michael Ditmer takes us on a tour to see inside.
There was never another architect so unique in his vision or so ahead of his time. A truly amazing artist.
great pyramid architects were way cooler
Absolutely correct Mathew S.
Antoni Gaudi would like to have a word
Architects may come, and architects may go
And never change your point of view

I'll stop awhile and think of you

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.
It was nice to hear that the son of the owners visits and likes to see his old room .
The background noise could have been piped down😢
Perfect. I Cannot get enough of FLW. I search out the latest content uploaded to CZcams. Save all I find in different files. A little obsessed maybe.
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.
That sounds wonderful!
Wright build mid-century modern homes BEFORE there WERE mid-century modern homes....
LOVE his work!!
Yes! ☺️
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.

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.
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.
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.
I Love The House! It makes a Wonderful Statement! All of his architecture is timeless! ❤️💖❤️
Great tour! The background "music" only distracts and disturbs. The tap tap tap is annoying.
"How the average American could live." I frickin wish!
What a wonderful tour of this famous house. So great to see it being well maintained.
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
3:00 the grain on all the cabnetery lines up. Thats nice
The epitome of sublime and utilitarian design all wrapped up in the warmth of brick and wood!
That is visionary design even for today.
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
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)
Beautiful interiors. It is unfortunate that there was so little video of the homes exterior...
When I imagine what my future house is going to look like one day, I think of this.
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?
Wow, incredible!!!! Thank you so much!
The story of the bathroom door is worth more than a fully functioning door would be nowadays ☺
Fantastic house. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful home.
Great post! Thanks!
Outstanding
Terrific!
Beautiful
Revolutionary, especially for that era.
If you're meaning Streator brick, it may have been purchased in Chicago, but it was manufactured in Streator, Illinois.
We will definitely visit next time we are in the US.
The brickwork is just amazing...although your background music is overwhelming and distracting.
Compression and release was his specialty upon entering
This is literally Minecraft spec
It feels like a professional is reviewing my 10 year old build
Genius.
Wouldn't it be nice if the droning musical score were left out of this video? The narration is interesting enough. For example: czcams.com/video/dE6E7vtEKD4/video.html
Like Eames, the ideas are budget minded. Yet decades later - everything these guys made is at a premium.
It’s much “warmer” than l expected. Is the wood red cedar? Fir?
cypress
@@markisherwood-tj4uoThank you.
Is it used as living house or as an resort?
The door hardware is interesting.....I've never seen piano hinges used on domestic interior doors.
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.
A pocket door would’ve been awesome! 👍🏻
Wright used brick, stone and wood to create his pioneering modernist designs. The Bauhaus architects used steel, glass and concrete.
The color of the floor was 'navaho red'
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.
Quixotic. Fascinating for the horrific psychology of his conceptions.
How do you clean those high windows? ‘Affordable housing’ can’t afford window cleaning companies.
😍
why do all I think of is how I'd probably have to wear thick slippers and a sweater all the time, lol
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.
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
Beautiful house, great photography, fine script and narration but, for the love of God, please make that music stop.
Yeah really I’ll never understand why people producing countless videos on here insist on adding music. And that tapping sound is really annoying. 😖
Can you imagine a world where Americans took seriously this standard for the average middle class home.
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! 😂
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.
ha, that door at 4:13 is exactly like the door to my bedroom
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
Does the roof leak per usual?
yes leaks happen .. they put on a rubber I believe roof .. never leaked when I was there
Love it. Less decorative.
A very nice house. But no handrail on the staircase?! Yikes!
i would find it too dark, especially on an overcast day
Notice no horrible granite counter tops!
love Wright, but as a pavilion it's impressive. as a home it's oppressive. i turned off the sound to be able to watch this.
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
Upstairs bathroom the door hits the toilet.
No one saw that lol.
All of his houses look like offices or libraries. Not homey at all
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.,
1940 student s councils woodwork s and masonry construction blueprints to guardian angels review safety.
“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.
I know. Can you imagine designing a house with steps to walk down to another level ? Good eye and what a failure he was.
@@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.
Tacky. And leaky.
FLW was an occultist satanist

Poor choice of music. Really.
Claustrophobic
Wright knew what he was doing.
He was short and designed for his own height
Looks like a bankrupt suburban mall.
Not one of my favorite FLW homes.
This presenter lacks expertise.
FAB!!!!
background music is really annoying.
