Connecticut boasts a surprising wealth of mid-century modern architecture, with Frank Lloyd Wright houses taking center stage.

Several of his iconic designs grace the state’s landscape, including the dramatic Tirranna in New Canaan and The Sander House in Stamford. Explore these architectural gems and discover how Wright masterfully integrated his signature style with the natural beauty of Connecticut.

Architecture and home design have always fascinated me. As a young girl I enjoyed drawing floor plans, rearranging my parent’s furniture and playing with Lincoln Logs and Legos. My passion has always been the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. Since I have been old enough to drive a car, I have visited Frank Lloyd Wright homes in the Chicagoland area and attended the Wright Plus house walks. Now, as co-owners of Northern Sky Designs, my husband & I are able to combine our website design skills and FLW travels to bring you this website! Enjoy!
