I agree it is a monstrosity. I believe Mr Wright would be upset to have this house compared to any of his work. The massing and spatial elements conflict and the corner element connecting the two wings leading out to the pool, is forced. Dormers not likely on a Wright
design. If, I remember, Mr wright loved to hug the ground with his
homes.

The site is beautiful. An Archtiect’s dream. I would have liked to see what Mr Wright would have done with a site this this. We all would probally be amazed.

This house is a beautiful home, but Frank Lloyd Wright ? – I agree with David it is a long stretch.

Perhaps the point is not that it’s granite, but rather that it’s granite tile. Tile is considered a cheaper substitute for sheet or slab.

Okay, I’ll bite. What’s wrong with granite?

Wood and stone and there’s water on the property. Yep, that’s all it takes to be influenced by FLW.

A stretch, to say the least.
