otacon Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Does anybody know of a website that has floorplans of some of Frank Lloyd Wrights houses? More specifically the Robie house, the living area. Im trying to model it and i have a book with some good photographs but it would be great to have some dimensions. Thanks.

IC Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I think you're looking at the Hall on the Ground Floor. It does look different though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackb602 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Hmm, those plans definitely are not the Robie House. And the room in the photo is the living room, on the west side of the second floor. Almost any big bookstore should have a book on Wright, and since this is one of his best known houses, I'm sure it would be included. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
