Frank Lloyd Wright designed Westhope in 1929 for his cousin Richard Lloyd Jones.The house is constructed from concrete blocks but unlike some of Wright's concrete block houses in Los Angeles, Westhope has large expanses of glass and has a very bright and airy feeling inside.
In particular I love the stepped glass nook that Wright has created in the windows shown from outside in the photo at the top of this post and then from inside in the final picture.

I thought for a moment that the interior photo had come from a Charles Rennie Mackintosh house in Scotland, not a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Tulsa. How amazing!
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous home. If it was any other architect, I might have guessed that cousin Richard had a great deal of input into the design. But FLW was notoriously rigorous about NOT allowing home owners to have any input.
Thanks Helen & Ron
