Garden Room and Wright Family Living Quarters

Frank Lloyd Wright

"A desert building should be nobley simple in outline as the region itself is sculptured, should have learned from the cactus many secrets of straight line pattern for its forms, playing with the light and softening the building into its proper place among the organic desert creations - the man-made building heightening the beauty of the desert and the desert more beautiful because of the building." - Frank Lloyd Wright

Frank Lloyd Wright continually remodeled the Garden Room. Over time, it evolved from a long, narrow building into the bright, spacious space we see today. Plastic-coated canvas on the ceiling filters the desert sun.
