The Circular Sun House in Arizona is now waiting for a new owner for nearly $9 million.
This abstract family house with intersecting circles was built in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1967, eight years after Frank Lloyd Wright’s death. Although almost all of the buildings designed by the architect are world-famous, the Circular Sun House is significant because it was the last project he completed before he died. The construction was overseen by his colleague John Rattenbury, who also told how the house was designed: Wright spent a lot of time studying the topography of the area, then put the project aside and worked on something else for a while—as he always used to do. Then, one morning, he quickly sketched a plan on the map, revealing circular shapes and fine details. At the end of the day he went home from the office and never returned.
Wright’s futuristic design allows for stunning views from all rooms of the building, most of which have terraces of varying sizes. Much of the walls are clad in mahogany, giving the house a warm, yellowish glow from the abundant light streaming in through the large windows.
