#5 For the the living room roof / roof deck , I've come up with a 2 spiked 6 x 2 framing system - I think I've seen this in some other FLW roof system - cant remember where. It uses the cantilever to counter balance the main span thus allowing reduced depth. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/4974...

evidently the savewight journal has an article on the house Fall 2011 / Volume 2 / Issue 2 / Issue pages 8-11, but I'm not a member to access it

I found this page on the Pew house - appears to be an online version of the book "Frank Lloyd Wright and Madison : eight decades of artistic and social interaction" (1990) http://digicoll.library.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/Arts/Arts-idx?type=article&did=Arts.FLWMadison.i0022&id=Arts.FLWMadis...

It seems that the current owner is open to people visiting and having a private tour!

It appears that the guy who made the sketchup model, also has done a youtube commentry on the house. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HlkCTtP1C0Y Further to that , I noticed in the ADA house no 6 living room photo , that there appears to be small square windows in the dining room west wall looking in...

found This youtube "drone" video, which shows the lower basement area, and stream landscaping

Pretty sure he's showing steel as the darker members in the computer colored axons. One question would be what does the typical connection look like where the major steel intersects - welded, bolted? The structural concept seems weak at those points - especially if bolted. But I'm not an engineer. ...

Ive started to have a look at the carport and UF framing. Gees this is just a mystery to me as the living room floor framing and rather even more adventurous some paramaters facia to carport is some 3 bays (3.6m) to the nearest supporting mass ( powder roof wallNw corner a midpoint of the 3.6m is th...

I have not found a published plan which definitively rules out a second pier. The plan we've all seen shows the top of the up-hill pier ---because it isn't hidden beneath the structure. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/12/0c/99/120c99e7eeec3c63a7045b172a795c45.jpg S yep, could do with some more detai...

This well-known view drawing of the house contains some erasure at the top. In Monograph 6 can be found a second image, published at very small size; it is interesting for its differences from the other version. Both views show a pair of masonry piers at the terminus---or even a C-shaped structure ...

g-dorn, the addition of that second pier left of the pier in the plan at the far end of the living room, which does not appear in published plans (or your perspectives), along with the change from brick to stone, indicates that published plans are not necessarily accurate. The pier in the plan like...

" by juankbedoya » Mon Apr 06, 2020 11:31 am I don't know if you use sketchup, but there is a beautiful and complete 3d model in 3d warehouse." thanks for the suggestion I have the sketchup model - it shows the building nicely as per the published photos. You reminded me to have a look at ...

One of aspects shown in the drawings and the photos is the stone flooring - this appears to be at the entry, in kitchen and as a skirt to the fireplace. Is this stone built on top of the timber joists, or on sand fill, or suspended concrete slab? Is the basement under the kitchen or does the retaini...
