Beyond historic districts and modern marvels, Idaho’s architectural tapestry is woven with the stories of its people. Rustic log cabins tucked amidst towering pines stand as testaments to homesteading families. Intricately crafted Native American longhouses echo with ancestral songs and traditions.
So, next time you find yourself in Idaho, open your eyes to the whispers of history and creativity etched in its buildings. From grand mountain lodges to charming town squares, each structure tells a tale, waiting to be unraveled.

50 Lessons to Learn from Frank Lloyd Wright by Aaron Betsky (Author), Gideon Fink Shapiro (Author), Andrew Pielage (Photographer) (Amazon book)
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!
