    The 10 Frank Lloyd Wright Buildings You Need to Visit in California

    The 10 Frank Lloyd Wright Buildings You Need to Visit in California insidehook.com/article/architecture-real-estate/best-frank-lloyd-wright-buildings-visit-california Architecture & Real Estate By Alex Lauer / July 9, 2019 Including the one just added to UNESCO’s World Heritage List The Hollyhock House is one of eight Frank Lloyd Wright buildings added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. Joshua White On Sunday, UNESCO announced two additions to its World Heritage List. The first was the Prosecco regions of Italy. The second inductee? The 20th-century architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. 1/5 No, not all 532 of the architect’s completed designs. Rather, the designation includes eight of his most celebrated buildings, one of which you’ll find in California. (Previously, the state only held two sites on the list: the Yosemite and Redwood parks.) Which begs the question: Where can you find the rest of Wright’s West Coast work? While “The Man Who Built America” is best remembered for his Midwestern roots, his California connection is strong, and underrated. He first opened an office in Los Angeles in the early ‘20s, and his output in the Golden State ranged from a Guggenheim sibling in San Francisco to a house built, miraculously, without any 90-degree angles. To help you discover his Californian oeuvre for yourself, we’ve collected the 10 must-see Wright buildings in the state, including a golf resort where you can and should spend the night this summer. Both interior and exterior tours are available of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Hollyhock House.

Watch "Artbound" S9 E1: That Far Corner - Frank Lloyd Wright in Los Angeles now. When he came to Southern California in the early 1920s, Frank Lloyd Wright had already known equal measures of personal and professional success and crushing disappointment. Devoted to the idea of developing a new American architecture that was not beholden to the ideals and values of Europe, he had already created the famed Prairie style of architecture, whose horizontal eaves, open floor plans and emphasis on natural colors and materials captured the ethos of his native rolling Midwestern landscapes. Like so many before and since, Wright was eager for a new start in California. He began visiting the area regularly while designing Tokyo’s famed Imperial Hotel. This commission meant that he had to travel overland from the Midwest to California before boarding a ship to cross the Pacific. In January 1923, Wright opened up a small office in what is now West Hollywood. He had already finished one local project the previous year, Hollyhock House, built for oil heiress Aline Barnsdall. His drawing board was soon filled with plans for four more houses, to be constructed solely of geometric cast concrete blocks. He referred to these commissions as textile block houses and they turned out to be unlike anything he had designed before.
