Wright house highlights 1950s style
Posted by Sinks on 27th Jun 2017
News that a house designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, architect of the Guggenheim Museum, is on the market may stir interest in 1950s home design.The property, designed for his son David Wright, is for sale for 3.99 million (2.2 million) and is reminiscent of the museum with a spiral shape even influencing the kitchen, according to the Arizona Republic.[It] features an elevated living space with a spiral ramp winding up and around to the second-level entrance. A smaller ramp leads to a rooftop deck above the kitchen, the news site said. While it was designed in 1948, the decorative style and inventive architecture may appeal to fans of the 1950s, who may decide to preserve the home described as an art piece by Arnold Roy of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.However, for those who lack the cash to spend on an American work of art, taps and accessories can give a hint of the 1950s for a much lower price. An Abode tap in the Pixie style, available in chrome and stainless steel, may give a retro feel to a kitchen, for example, while a glamorous look may be achieved by an Abode Melford Bridge tap in gold.
