Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Hillsborough, California, lies a unique architectural gem – the Sidney Bazett House. Designed by the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright in 1939, this hexagonal-shaped home embodies his iconic Usonian style.

Hexagon Patterns
Characterized by its emphasis on functionality and connection with nature, the Bazett House features red concrete floors with a scored hexagon pattern, reflecting the building’s geometric motif. Despite its original purpose as a residence for the Bazett family, the house ultimately played a pivotal role in shaping the work of another prominent architect, Joseph Eichler.
Renting the home during its early years, Eichler became deeply influenced by Wright’s Usonian principles. This experience would later inspire him to develop and market his own line of affordable, modernist homes, bringing a touch of Wright’s vision to a wider audience.
