Lykes House, by Frank Lloyd Wright



Officially the last house that Frank Lloyd Wright ever designed, this 280sqm house for the Sonoma Desert in pre-airconditioned Arizona was completed after his death by apprentice John Rattenbury, working from the master’s sketches — and adding both a pool, and an upstairs office.


The lounge, this great space, looks over the desert to what is now the city of Phoenix, its lights twinkling in the distance of an evening.


And it’s all yours (well, it could have been) for just $3.6 million.
