Designed in 1966 by Wright’s student Herb DeLevie, this home in Madison, Wisconsin, includes an unusual converted sunroom.

Located in the capital city of Madison, Wisconsin, The Max and Arlyne Hurwitz House balances Wright-inspired design cues with a few twists. Built in 1966 by Herb DeLevine, a student of Wright’s Taliesin School of Architecture, the midcentury home’s unusual details include a converted sunroom that once housed an indoor pool. See if you can spot it below.

The home's shady corner lot is full of large Maple trees and lush plantings. A deep eave marks the grand entrance, which is further dramatized by 15-foot-tall double doors with Medieval-style hardware from Spain.

  • Burnt Cedar

    This is a full-time beach house for a car passionate family of four situated across from Burnt Cedar Beach in Incline Village, Nevada on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. Prior to being pulled up the hill to flumes and rails destined for Virginia City, logs were staged here as the mountains around the lake shore were logged during the silver mining years of the 1860s. Set into a neighborhood originally built in the 1950s and bordered by houses to the sides and rear, the house takes a simple box form, half buried into the slope. It faces the lake with full height glazing that encloses a loft-like plan with double height living spaces. The clients requested a space that felt like the landscape and maintained a feeling inside of being outside in the light and shadow play of the sixty to ninety-foot Jeffrey and Ponderosa pines that populate the lake shore.  Perforated wood ceilings and acoustical plaster walls soften the sounds of the concrete and glass pavilion-like house. An underground garage is excavated under the house with level access to the street, a must in this snowy climate for a family with an eclectic car collection.
