Roland Reisley reached 101 years old and resides in the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home he has lived in for 73 years. This house is part of Usonia, a mid-century modern village in Westchester County, New York. Wright aimed to create beautiful, affordable homes that connect to nature. Reisley appreciates the architectural features, especially the entryway design, which enhances the experience of space. The house includes local materials, a flat roof, and custom furnishings, showcasing Wright's signature style and philosophy towards home design.
"The entries to his buildings always have a relatively low ceiling, without exception. It provides a bit of compression so when you move through the house, and you emerge into the living spaces, the compression is relieved and you have the expansion and a much greater sense of the space that you move into."
"It's made with local materials, has a flat roof, a carport, wood paneling, built-in shelving, concrete floors and custom-made furniture."
