Wright's houses present a different picture, for their luxury is internal. Their quality comes from the manner in which space is enclosed. Wright is one of the few architects in history who have comprehended fully the implications in that statement. The plumbing is adequate, but only adequate. Equipment is kept to a bare minimum.
Furniture is more likely to be hard than soft.
Materials are rough and inexpensive, put together almost entirely by amateurs. The results look strange at first because they do not stem from the old rules. 1946 Time Inc. All rights reserved.
