I haven't posted here in a long time! but i'm back to show you some personal work i've been doing recreating a never built wright house. I think the story of this design is also interesting, so check it out!

Wow. Sweet. Interesting timing, as we're just discussing the Fir Tree house in New Mexico, the Arnold Friedman residence of 1948.

Your model is beautiful. The presence of digital modeling in the Wright universe is such a blessing . . . and yours are right at the top, obviously. Gracias . . .

Beautiful and brilliant work, David! Thank you so much for continuing to share your wonderful projects with us!

Thank You!!

This time I have added a "speculometer" (red more speculative and blue less) which is an idea that I have seen in the case of 3d architectural recreations based on archaeological finds. And that I think helps to give transparency to the recreation process.



The purest form of the Fir Tree houses is, perhaps, Lake Tahoe. In the drawings attached by SDR I am fascinated by those roofs and how FLLW decides to build them with wooden planks aligned at a seemingly arbitrary angle.

The local Frank Lloyd Wright house that never was
