Lloyd Wright’s One-of-a-Kind West Hollywood Home
The Lloyd Wright Studio and Residence was designed by the Southern California architect Lloyd Wright, often confused with his famous father, Frank Lloyd Wright.
Originally built in 1927, the architect customised this rare West Hollywood corner lot duplex into his personal home and studio, where he oversaw the construction of many of FLW’s Southern California projects, including Hollyhock House.
The Southern California-based architect left his unique design stamp on Los Angeles throughout his lengthy career. Wright originally working as a Tinseltown set designer (he crafted the castle and 12th century village in Douglas Fairbanks’ “Robin Hood”) and he also created the orchestra shells for the Hollywood Bowl, in addition to designing several landmark homes.
The facade of the West Hollywood home features Wright's signature interlocking Joshua Tree textile blocks, lovingly restored in the 1990s by his son, Eric Wright, grandson of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Comprising 2 separate units, the lower level functions as a studio with concrete floors which opens out onto a private courtyard with a pre-Columbian statue.
Upstairs, you’ll find the main living quarters, with 3 bedrooms, a kitchen and a large living room with a fireplace and beautiful wood and glass alcove.
