Balch House Wright Plus 2012
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.
