Frank Lloyd Wright

From California to Somerset, Frank Lloyd Wright's final sketch proposal for a sunny American situated domestic Villa by the sea will finally come to fruition.................. at a lakeside setting in England. Designed in 1947, the Villa is being built approximately 60 years after it's inception and almost 50 years after Wright's death. The long sought dream of Somerset councillor Dr Hugh Pratt, the house will be constructed under the strict and prestigious permission from the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation having been approved by the Foundation's own architect. 


"The original design is characteristic of Wright's later domestic work, composed of a long, low-lying wing of rooms extending out into the landscape, emerging from a central core of intersecting circular forms. Little cylindrical towers, clad in rough stonework, emerge like defensive sentinels, housing a library and study that anchor the horizontal planes. Elements slip and slide past each another, framing a dining and dancing area that steps down to a poolside terrace, the whole thing sailed over by a projecting copper roof."
