It is amazing that FLW was able to create such a unique and timeless architecture that still manages to "blend" with the traditional neighborhoods.

I always pictured it to be much more human scale especially with all of his low ceilings, but it looks like that fence is close to 8' tall. One of those buildings you just have to visit in person and experience. Thanks for sharing.kyuhttp://paloaltodesignstudio.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
