Wright Inspired Design- John Rattenbury Architect

Based on a Frank Lloyd Wright concept, this stunning home was designed by Architect and Taliesin Fellow John Rattenbury of Taliesin Architects.  Completed nearly simultaneously with the Lykes House, which was the last residential design by Mr Wright.  Lovingly restored, it commands the hill with it’s prominent ship like features. The home sails out from the hillside site connecting the curvilinear spaces to the views and sky.  A home for the ages…
