Wright Chat

Never really studied this house.
Seems VERY complex.

Wondering if you guys can help me. I'm starting a house in Burke County NC on the shore of Lake James. The house is permitted to be set back from the shore of the lake by only 65ft. The property is 2.5 acres and descends 100ft from the entry road to the waterline. The slope from the waterline is gra...

Good catch. Wonder what happened. These trees appear in a few of the perspective renderings. Bet Wright really wanted them there. I can't find a shot in my books so far that show those trees. EKjr's book has another shot of them before the flagstone came down and the larger shot you show from the We...

Just now read the description of his lecture.
Would have liked to hear it.

Wow, interesting life.
Thanks for the post.

Would love to see shots of those plans posted here on Wright Cha if not too much trouble.
Congratulations David on your new house.
I've been up to WahooSahoo to see it.
We hiked through the Porcupines and the coast of Lake Superior.
Wisconsin is gorgeous.

The Pauson picture reminds me of John Marins work.

I get it RG. Funny to compare it to my thinking them being SO classy those many decades ago.
but .... shutters. I do like shutters
yet man are they expensive

Appreciate having attention called to the blinds. Didn't see until you pointed it out that the original blinds were "taped." I do remember as a young person thinking the tapeless blinds were so cool. Most of the Mies that I've seen had tapeless Levelor blinds installed. BTW - I requested the Mesa Ho...

I went looking too after seeing this and found nothing
but kept thinking of uplift on the roof in high winds.

PeterM - you out there friend?

Thanks for the plans, elevations, and shots.
Even with all the info - hard to comprehend the unity of what's going on.
Great house - only in California.

Petty cool.

Yep thanks for posting the link. Wonder when Seagrams will renovate. I think I remember reading somewhere it's one of the least energy efficient buildings in NYC. Still all 1/4" glass panes. ... I think it also holds the record for being the most expensive modern building ever built per unit cost. E...

I think Wright did anticipate drones!
Those auto piloted saucer copters ya know.

I'm not claiming any direct connction by this but it is interesting to note the very general similarity between the living room pavilion of the Mesa House and the IIT College of Architecture in Chicago many decades later. Both structures place double beams on top and incorporate them into the image ...
