My favorite house of the Wright Plus 2012 tour was the Balch House (611 N. Kenilworth Avenue, Oak Park, IL). Some might not be a fan of updating Wright homes with additions and/or modern-day amenities, but the owners of this house did so in such a way it blended with the original plans well. They added a kitchen/family room to the home's northwest corner (not shown in the photos).
Notice the flat roof that became such an important part of Wright's designs following the Prairie years. The rooftop trellis grille casts ever-changin shadows upon the walls of the home.
It is the first time that I see this house... It is amazing!!! I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteI would to see the inside of it... I can't but I can dream about it. I imagine it full of great furniture, specially with a great range of lamp... vintage lamps... I know a brand that would fit in it perfectly, a brand by the name of Delightfull (www.delightfull.eu). Have a look and you will be able to understand what I am speaking about!!!
Great post with nice images.
Thank you for that and keep on your good work!!!
