Frank Lloyd Wright’s Final Home Design Is Curvy and Available

This is master architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s final house (one of the only 14 of his circular designs) and it’s on the market. Is everyone else this excited about this or do I need to chill?

Not only is the architecture of this home gorgeous (obviously), it’s also privy to stunning desert vista views just north of Phoenix. Known as the Norman Lykes house, the property includes three beds and three baths for an asking price of $7.95 million. Not ready for the commitment? It’s available to rent as well.

Fondly nicknamed the ‘Circular Sun House,’ this home’s floor plan consists of overlapping circles that effortlessly merge, thanks to Wright’s genius. The unique, organic shape adds intrigue to the exterior of course, but also provides for interiors like you’ve never seen before. The cabinets, windows and halls inside follow the home’s curves, resulting in a very interesting look.

On top of all that, the interior details match the mastery of the architecture. A beautiful golden-hued Philippine mahogany makes up the walls of bedrooms and there’s honed Italian rose marble in the primary bathroom. The half-moon pool is accompanied by ample outdoor space– perfect for enjoying the Arizona sun. 

Built in 1967, the Norman Lykes House is the very last home Frank Lloyd Wright designed before his death in 1959. Just as in many of his other works, this home emphasizes harmony with the surrounding environment. It draws inspiration from the surrounding Phoenix Mountain Preserve and invites in the sun with its curvy lines and desert-hued color palette. There are gorgeous Hope’s Windows along the whole wall of the main living spaces and quaint crescent-shaped ones in the kitchen and office space.

From the listing:

“Overlapping concentric circles create a floorplan that flows seamlessly from one room to another while every room takes in unobstructed majestic views of Palm Canyon and the city below…A masterful design embodying the beautiful natural landscape, this home was constructed of colored concrete block to blend with the surrounding boulders. Near the Phoenix Biltmore, and constructed on the edge of the Phoenix Mountain Preserve capturing the city lights and views.”
