Similarly, this 3,700-square-foot house is perched over the Waiaka stream with views of the ocean and mountains, plus views of the three famous active volcanoes on the Big Island. Unlike the other stays on this list, this house is based on an unrealized plan by Wright and brought to life in 1995 by Taliesin Associated Architects, John Rattenbury, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.īut just because it’s newer (and features modern day amenities like a lava rock hot tub) doesn’t mean it lacks classic Wright principles: Nature was always at the forefront of his designs, and he took into account the time, place, and inhabitants in order to create the best livable spaces. If you’re planning a trip to Hawaii and need a place to stay, look no further than this stunner-the only Frank Lloyd Wright–designed house in the state. Read on to reserve some R&R-and a bit of history. With so many of us chomping at the bit to book a getaway-we thought it would be the-ahem- Wright time to highlight some of the offerings, from Wright’s last surviving hotel to the architect’s realization of a Life magazine Dream House. One year, the editors of House Beautiful turned up from New York -equipped with a magnum of Champagne.Įven though you can’t be a guest of Wright’s parties today, you can actually live like America’s original starchitect, thanks to several Wright-designed vacation rentals available to book now on sites like Vrbo and Airbnb. He would famously gather together everyone in the Taliesin orbit (either at his home and studio in Spring Green, Wisconsin, or his winter outpost and school in Scottsdale, Arizona) and throw a fete that included cake, balloons, and gifts of poems, architectural drawings, and weavings.
And the architect certainly loved a good party in his day.
Todays marks the 154th birthday of the great Frank Lloyd Wright.
