作为这一代最重要的房产,弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特的 Westhope 堪称杰作。赖特在每一个项目中,都始终将提升和提升人类体验作为首要目标。塔尔萨的 Westhope 于 1972 年被列入国家史迹名录。这座建于 1929 年的豪宅是俄克拉荷马州仅有的三座赖特设计的建筑之一,也是为数不多的以这种规模建造的住宅之一。它由交替的方形玻璃窗和水泥“纺织”块组成。在赖特更著名的 Prairie 和 Usonian 住宅之间建造了数量有限的此类混凝土砌块住宅,使 Westhope 成为一件非凡的稀世珍宝。它是赖特建造的最大住宅之一。 《建筑文摘》在 2022 年的一篇文章中对 Westhope 的美丽进行了诗意的描述:这栋房子忠于赖特受自然启发的“有机建筑”理念,家具、内置橱柜和抽屉都是用类似的木材制成的,实现了他标志性美学所著称的视觉和空间和谐。这栋房子是为赖特的表弟、塔尔萨论坛报出版商理查德·劳埃德·琼斯 (Richard Lloyd Jones) 建造的,自然光充足。它的墙壁将混凝土块与 5,200 块玻璃板无缝结合在一起,这些玻璃板以柱状排列,形成了一种垂直图案,将美丽的自然光线引入室内,同时让所有进入的人都能在视觉上与不断变化的景观保持联系。这栋房子独特的公共和私人空间使其成为娱乐和居住的理想场所。房子面积略大于 10,000 平方英尺,有 5 间卧室、4.1 间浴室和一个通往餐厅的大型接待区。这座住宅位于 1.5 英亩的土地上,是典型的弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特风格。他完美地将住宅坐落在树林之中,并增加了一个漂亮的游泳池和户外生活空间。购买 Westhope 意味着成为一座活生生的杰作、永恒的珍宝、一座等待下一篇章的标志性住宅的管理者。
The most significant property to become available in this generation, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Westhope is a masterpiece. In every project Wright undertook, the goal of enhancing and elevating human experience was always foremost. Tulsa’s Westhope was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. The mansion, constructed in 1929 is one of only three Wright-designed structures in Oklahoma and one of only a handful of homes constructed at this scale. It is made with alternating piers of square glass windows and cement “textile” blocks. A limited number of such concrete block homes were built in between Wright’s better-known Prairie and Usonian houses, making Westhope a remarkable rare jewel. It is one of the largest residences Wright ever built. Architectural Digest waxed poetic about the beauty of Westhope in a 2022 article: True to Wright’s nature-inspired “organic architecture” ethos, furniture, built-in cabinets, and drawers at the home are all constructed of similar wood, achieving the visual and spatial harmony for which his signature aesthetic is known. Built for Wright’s cousin, Tulsa Tribune publisher Richard Lloyd Jones, it is awash in natural light. Its walls seamlessly integrate concrete blocks with 5,200 glass panes arranged in pillar-like forms, creating a vertical pattern streaming pretty natural light into the interior while keeping all who enter visually connected to the ever-changing landscape. The home’s distinctly public and private spaces make it perfect for entertaining and eminently livable. At slightly more than 10,000 square feet, there are 5 bedrooms, 4.1 baths and a large reception area which flows into the dining room. The home’s placement on the 1.5 acre grounds is classic Frank Lloyd Wright. He nestled it perfectly among the trees and added a lovely pool and outdoor living spaces. To purchase Westhope is to become the steward of a living masterpiece, a timeless treasure, an iconic residence awaiting its next great chapter.
