You’re in the Wright Place!
A driving force of Frank Lloyd Wright was the desire for organic architecture in his designs — indeed, he felt that form would arise out of function rather than vice-versa. Take the time to visit even one of his designs and I think you will understand the meaning of that desire.
This website was created to give fellow Wright enthusiasts an online guide to learning about and visiting the homes and buildings he designed. We have also chosen to include some of the notable designs of FLW apprentices.
FrankLloydWrightSites.com will continue to grow and change as we visit more Sites! I hope you join us on this journey and enjoy your visit to FLWSites!

Frank Lloyd Wright, an American architect, designer, writer, and educator, left an undeniable mark on the 20th century. Over a 70-year career, Wright designed more than 1,000 structures, forever changing the landscape of architecture.
His philosophy of organic architecture, emphasizing harmony between humanity and the environment, is evident in iconic buildings like Fallingwater, a masterpiece cantilevered over a waterfall. Wright’s influence extended far beyond his designs. He mentored hundreds of apprentices at his Taliesin Fellowship, ensuring his ideas would inspire generations to come.
Wright’s personal life was as dramatic as his architecture. He was a prolific creator with a tumultuous personal history. Though married three times and father to eight children, his pursuit of love and his artistic vision sometimes led him down unconventional paths. Despite these challenges, Wright’s dedication to his craft remained constant, resulting in a legacy that continues to capture our imagination today.
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!
