"Truth is, Wright's homes are awfully great places in which to live. The architect's use of space makes them easy to navigate. Seldom is there a tight corner, a narrow staircase or an awkwardly placed room.His art glass windows sparkle in the sun. The dramatic overhanging eaves keep the hot summer rays from baking the home while allowing the low-lying winter sun to brighten and warm it."
