This Frank Lloyd Wright is a UNESCO and a National Historic Landmark.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

Its\u00a0is known as the greatest example of\u00a0Prairie School, the first architectural style considered uniquely American.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

The house presents\u00a0cantilevered\u00a0roof eaves and the use of\u00a0Roman brick\u00a0emphasize the horizontal.<\/p>\r\n

<\/p>\r\n

To emphasize the lines the horizontal joints were filled with a cream-colored mortar and the small vertical joints were filled with brick-colored mortar.\u00a0 Creating the impression of continuous horizontal lines.<\/p>\r\n

The windows contains continuous bands of art-glass windows and the pattern repeats all around the house. It even translate to the design in the rugs. There are 174 art glass panels in 29 different designs.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

Wright designed light fixtures, carpets and furniture for the Robie House.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/p>\r\n

The sofa with extended armrests designed by Wright, mimics the cantilevers of the exterior roof of the building, creating a side tables on each side of the sofa.<\/p>\r\n

\"\"<\/div>\r\n
Wright was very much influenced by Japanese architecture, in the Robie house\u00a0 you can see it in the detail lattice work on the ceiling and the walls.<\/div>\r\n
In many of his houses he placed a Japanese decorative panel as decoration (not physically attach to the structure).<\/div>\r\n

Above I posted a photo to demonstrate the very small group that tour the house. Its very sad that such important piece of history does not have\u00a0 more advertisement.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Frank Lloyd Wright has a very strong architectural \/ design signature. His houses are all different but all very familiar.<\/p>\r\n

I imagine that to live on one of his houses is to live in Wright’s belly.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n
