"Set on a ridge-top in Hollywood Hills West, the 2,100-square-foot house is a shining example of Wright's "integrated landscape" style, which blends indoor and outdoor elements. The 1949 home's interior spaces stretch through decked terraces and expansive windows. Jutted wood planks loom over the pavilion, and a massive stone fireplace counteracts the concrete slab floor in the living room."
"Modeled after a building designed by his more famous father, Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West in Arizona, the two-bedroom home mixes stone, wood and glass into the ridge's rocky landscape. Born under the long shadow of his father, Wright made a name for himself by designing homes that integrated into their landscapes with bold forms and unusual colors."
A 2,100-square-foot home designed by architect Lloyd Wright in Hollywood Hills West sold for $2.375 million. Built in 1949 and modeled after his father Frank Lloyd Wright's Taliesin West, the two-bedroom residence showcases Wright's integrated landscape style through its blend of stone, wood, and glass elements. The home features expansive windows, decked terraces, a massive stone fireplace, concrete slab flooring, and geometric shapes including a triangular marble-and-wood kitchen island. Architect John Powell completed renovations to restore the midcentury property. Lloyd Wright distinguished himself by designing homes that integrate bold forms and unusual colors into their landscapes, including the Wayfarer's Chapel and Hollywood Bowl shells.
