This 'Sure, we can call anything FLW' hits home - literally. The house is located only 4 properties over from where we live. They have posted signs all around the neighborhood for the upcoming auction - and on every one they describe the house as being a "Frank Lloyd Wright design" (though, here in the video it is merely "inspired").

The Ukrainian house is not without merits. A shame the kitchen is not shown...would Khrushchev and Nixon find it debatable?

There is a lot to like about the Iowa house. The term "Wright inspired" seems fair. However, the number and types of materials used may not be "Wright principled".

Wondrous. Rather "rustic," for Dyson ? Encore . . . !

I'm smitten!
The fireplace though, somewhat floating amid the glass still achieves anchorage with the concrete wings. The copper sheet siding and battens throughout is great...I like how the tendency for the material to "oil can" or wrinkle was accepted and treated as texture. The consistent vertical unit demark seen in the horizontals in the fenestration, concrete, and copper battens weaves the materials into a unified composition is great.

Dyson's use of geometry, materials, placement in the natural surroundings, peripheral nature of views are all in accordance with FLW's principles of design. He deserves a deeper look into the long history of work. It is first-class.

An apprentice towards "the end", certainly one of the best from the Taliesin orbit. His website mentions him involved with both Marin County and the Guggenheim as well as time with Goff. He's well published including two monographs.

There's a reason it's one of a kind.
