The Gordon House

Well worth a tour if you're a fan of architecture - the design and setting got me very excited about what can be done in a small, simple, and affordable space. Pure genius.

My favorite aspect is this: visitors often remark both how well the house blends into the setting and how from inside it feels as though you are outside. It's true.

Great house. I love all the built in seating and shelving. The hard ceiling and floor would create some interesting acoustics for the piano.

It is a great house, and with some modern energy efficient updates would really be an ideal small family home.

It blows me away how Wright was so ahead of his time - this home was based on designs he completed in the 1930's!
