The last home Frank Lloyd Wright designed, more popularly known has the Norman Lykes home, recently hit the market with an asking price of $3.6 million. The Phoenix property boasts of curves and circular aesthetic contrasting the Arizona desert.
Spanning 2,849 square feet, the Wright Conservatory registered home features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and even comes with the furniture, based on the listing.
Wright designed the home for Norman and Aimee Lykes back in 1959. The curvaceous home was intended to incorporate the organic structure of the nearby mountains, and boasts of a view of the Palm Canyon from every bedroom of the residence.
Curbed gives a perfect description of the home's eccentric style: "A marvelous example of the architect's late-career style, exemplified by the Guggenheim and David and Gladys Wright home."
"A series of concentric circles set on a desert plateau, the home, which looks like a set of intricate clock gears from above, shows Wright's mastery of organic design that references the landscape."
The Arizona residence was the last home to be designed by the late architect, who passed away in April 1959. Thankfully, his apprentice John Rattenbury was able to finish the design and supervise the construction of the home, which finally saw its completion in 1967.
Furthermore, it was in 1994 when Rattenbury updated the home for a previous owner. Alterations included its wrapping interior, built-ins, enlarging the master bedroom, and converting a workshop into a home theater.
