FLW Design Elements

Another from our Oak Park meetup in Frank Lloyd Wright territory. The elements of his work are so distinctive, alone and in combination. This is the entry to the house at 218 Forest Ave. Doorway is off-center and conveys privacy, while all the lines, from windows to railings to walls are well defined.
Thanks as always for your lovely comments! Always appreciated!

[Leana Niemand]

A cool shot. Like all the lines.

[Iris]

Love FLW houses! He was sooooo ahead of his time. I think I turned all my students into fans.
Love the way you captured all the lines. I think he arranged his (and his families) life around his lines. In a good way.
Missed Oaks Park last time I was in Chicago, definitely on my list next time - whenever that will be.

[Dawn Swingle]

Oh, I do too, great eye!

[Jane Pittenger]

Love seen nag through the door. He sure was an amazing artist, wasn't he?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

His homes are always amazing- although I've only seen Falling Waters in person. Nice shot!

[Gena Pegg]

Great architecture...lovely lines and pov. Love the dappled lighting.

[Kathy]

REally love the lines, textures and amazing lighting!! FAV!

[Rosie Kerr]

Wonderful lines, leading the eye towards the central arched doorway, charmingly littered with leaves. Another wonderful architectural site in Chicago! ;) (hint).

[Rosan]

Great leading lines. I like the patterns and textures and pretty dappled light.

[Elizabeth]

Cool shot of the FLW house! I've visited Taleisin West in Arizona.

[Debs Stott]

The design elements are so distinctive. Wonderful light in this image.

[Maggiemae]

Love FLW always! Got to read that book about him if I can find it! I would love this place too if I was there! fav

[FotoBlah]

Ditto to above and it's a treat to see a FLW structure that looks lived in, instead of the usual perfect architectural porn style.

[Junko Y]

I recognized it immediately! I like your capture at this angle for all the wonderful lines. You really are getting good mileage out of these meetups.

[Dione Giorgio]

Beautiful capture and view. Love how the eyes are drawn to the open doorway and the neat lines beyond.

[Islandgirl]

Love the gorgeous lines and the off center entrance!
What a lovely place to visit, on my bucket list!

[~~JT]

I knew, when I saw you snapping this entryway, that you would find just the right way to process and share this shot in a manner distinctively yours even though it's FLW architecture! Fantastic!

[Osia Strasner]

FLW was the master of leading lines because the emphasis was on the horizontal, and how to tie it all together. I love the off center entryway at the end of this impressive archway! Great composition!
