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.

The 3,500-square-foot residence offers an earthy interior with a natural stone fireplace, wood paneling, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Throughout the four-bedroom and three-bathroom home, angled walls and corner nooks create surprising visual contrasts.
A striking natural stone fireplace wraps around the living room and entryway. The cathedral ceiling is offset by angled walls and wood-framed eaves, adding an unexpected dimension to the space.
