Inside The Final Home Designed By Frank Lloyd Wright | Architectural Digest

Today Architectural Digest brings you to Phoenix, Arizona to tour the final home ever designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The stunning “Circular Sun House” flows seamlessly from one room to the next within it’s concentric floorpan, complementing the craggy hills of Palm Canyon. As the last design completed in his lifetime, this remarkable property is a fitting testament to Wright’s enduring genius.

“when you’re inside you can see the outside of the house; when you’re outside you can see the inside”

did she just try to over explain how windows work

[virajshetty]

Did she just describe the window as an 'Inside-Outside' effect? I guess I have that too!

"when you're inside, you can see the outside of the house, and when you're outside, you can see the inside."

This house would be a good setting for a horror movie.

For a "Sun House" this one looks hella dark.

[peacemyheart]

This looks more like a preserved historical building than a home to live in.

It’s more like 1.5 million max. Most people sell Wright designed homes because they cannot make changes to suit them, so the buyers have to be aware of what they’re getting into. Also what from what I’ve seen in past, I see that people are apprehensive about owning one cause it’s so difficult and expensive to maintain and hard to sell. Yes there’s history and the unique design to consider but it’s so difficult to make a Wright home homey and comfortable.

This house was featured on a tv show back in the day called extreme homes a good 25 years ago. I used to watch that show with my aunt daily sadly she passed and this home being featured on this YouTube channel is a real breath of fresh of air and am real happy seeing it

I feel like this house looks somewhat interesting and different on the outside but so dark, gloomy, and dated on the inside... Don't understand why someone would pay 8M to live in it. Library? That tiny little room with built-in bookshelves and a tiny little table flat against the wall (that almost looks like a fold-out table)? Nothing inspiring you to read or to even stay in the room... It seems that the washrooms in that house are bigger than the so-called library. The long corridor with identical-looking cabinets all along it, the porthole-like windows in the kitchen and office space... It IS almost like a ship but not in a good way... More like a submarine... It just doesn't seem inviting at all... And so dark... Maybe it's just the way the camera renders the light in this video...
I understand that the architect's name adds to the value of the house but 8 million dollars? Really?

Family with kids buy it.
Kids misbehave
"Go to the curve and think about what you've done"
Kid unsure of which curve to stand at.

Imagine paying 8 mil for a house only to have a countertop electric stove

[ALA]

Honestly the house being dark in a lot of places makes sense. You’re living in the middle of a desert and you can head outside or to a main area to get that light, so there’s probably times when you’d just want a cool dark place to be in.

[hrishabh]

I would definitely pay $8M for that "outside-inside" effect.

[whateverdv]

Jesus, this whole house looks like an inside of a yacht. Getting a panic attack from this video.

[dengyaohou]

For the size of this house, I constantly feel claustrophobia.

[RobertoRodriguez-yifs]

I mean this in the nicest way possible but with her commentary and dialogue of the house, it was hard to watch this.

[conordineen]

I think this is the first time this woman has ever given a tour of a house

[MrSniper]

The federal government should purchase all of Loyd-Wrights buildings and turn them into walk through museums. It would defiantly boost tourism in certain parts of the country and celebrate one of America's greatest Architects.

Thanks, Frank! Inspiring art and artists will forever be your enduring legacy.

Also, that -- that's not a library. That's a closet for shelves and a hidden bar (for some reason).
