- Today AD travels to Connecticut to tour Tirranna, one of legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s final designs. Considered one of the greatest architects of all time, Frank Lloyd Wright produced over 1000 designs in a career spanning 70 years, revolutionizing architecture in the United States. A pioneer of organic architecture, Wright believed any building should exist in harmony with its inhabitants and surroundings-a concept that runs through the veins of Tirranna. Join Stuart Graff, president and CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, as he walks you through one of the final designs of Wright’s career.

Can we have LESS celebrity OpenDoors episodes, and MORE of this?
Yes please!
Absolutely. Spot on, exactly what I thought.
Please! ☺️
Yes please ❤
How about a compromise 3 decent design history commissions for each slightly nauseating celebrity NYC or SoCal property?
AD doing a favor to humanity by covering these Frank Lloyd Wright gems, hopefully there's more of these videos to come
I like how warm that house feels, a nap in there during the rain must be something else.
Warm? It’s dark and cold. All Wrights houses are.
@@deleteddata6671 Even one of the most renowned architects to ever grace the earth can't please everybody.
It's single glazed with no drapes.
It looks freezing. If a house can't keep you warm it has failed its primary function
Would love a video like this for each one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s houses!!
Me too!😁
agreed!
Same! This house is amazing!
Yes, please!!!!! 😊🌺🐞
We live near a couple they’re so cool !
I have a deep admiration for Frank Lloyd-Wright's philosophy. This house took my breath away, it blends in with the nature surrounding it so seamlessly. This video was such a soothing watch.
When you look at the distant shots of the house, looking across the water, you can see that Wright perfectly matched the color of the concrete blocks to the color of the surrounding boulders, which is one of the primary mechanisms for integrating the house to the land, to give you the feeling that the house is growing up out of the ground.
What a fantastic narration of this property.Just a wonderful,special property.Thank you very much !
To be surrounded by nature is to be surrounded by peace.
I love how time hasn't changed Wright's original idea of coexistence with nature but rather it has made this connection stronger by helping the building "settle in" the surrounding environment and become one with it.
One of the most beautiful houses I've ever seen. Perfectly organic and inviting.
His architecture was ahead of its time and very well-made. ❤
Wright used high quality materials... however some of his houses and buildings have leaky roofs and structural problems (cantilevered designs).
This is so much more than a house, it would be a shame to not think more of it as a repository of feelings in nature, immersive and alive. Not all such places visually thrive in winter, this embraces it and because of the materials allows it, encourages it to invite you in. Cool concrete when it is hot, warm Philippine mahogany when it is cold, creating multiple environments to inhabit. Thank you so much, AD for producing this with such respect and awe.
Even compared to his other designs, this place is quite the masterpiece.
It's curious how structural design elements were brought up so often when this is one of Wright's biggest weaknesses and a leading reason why so many of his building were demolished or in need of massive repair. Granted by this point in time much of the engineering aspect was likely done by other people within his agency after learning his earlier mistakes. At this point in time in the US architecture and engineering were largely learned at a company and not a university. University education in engineering was largely a product of the space race.
Still as a designer there are few that compare to the beauty of many of his designs. Prairie School and American Arts and Crafts design is in my opinion some of the premier architectural design ever.
Riveting and spiritually soothing and I finally understand the “why” of small bedrooms and narrow hallways opening into large, open living spaces. It’s breathtaking how the land and water perfectly frame this exquisite house…just wow.
WOW! I've been a fan of Wright for decades and never knew about this house. It's beautiful beyond words. OMG!
An architecture that impacts the natural setting of the place is like a falling leaf in an uninterrupted ground but at the same time has a lot of impact on how humans live alongside the environment. I really admire Wright's philosophy to his architecture.
What a perfect blend of architecture and nature
Usually i prefer large English country houses, but this is so peaceful and serene. I love everything about it.
This reminds me of Japanese garden very much. I posted videos in my channel about it.
The chain that rain is falling along it can be seen in temples in Japan very often.
It is incredible design and felt the respect of the nature.
Just said it has a Japanese feel,. Sheer natural beauty
I had never seen this one. The architecture really shows who designed it.
Beauty, comfort, appreciation for the materials and for natural landscape elements. Perfection.
Despite different space needs, including the height of the rooms, the whole thing enchanted me, and the story about this "place to live"/"place in life" is very beautiful and valuable. So calming, beautiful, and holistic.
Thank you for sharing this awe inspiring structure. I am a huge fan of FLW and this is just a feast for the eyes.
Ha, I thought he said "Toronto" and I didn't know Wright had a structure named Toronto. Locally many people here pronounce the city name exactly like this. Spelled Toronno or Toronna
☝🏽💯
Beautiful video and stunning architecture. Thank you for allowing us into this amazing space.
Thank you for creating this very "Zen" video - beautiful, intentional, quiet, enlightening. Will definitely watch more than once!
Simply astonishing.
Quite stunning, beautiful, serene. Thank you for creating and sharing this.
That incredible structure is like a beautiful sonnet by the way it tells a story.
That long passageway with the glass panels reminds me of the house in "Ozarks". Love that house
Currently for sale in New Canaan (CT) for $7 million... has been on the market about 8-months but appears to be pending sale.
The price of a fixer-upper in SFO
I’m so in awe of this. Such peace and serenity.
Such an interesting piece, beautifully narrated.
Beautiful video, insightful narrative, thoroughly informative-- and a FLW house with which I was completely unfamiliar. Bravi, tutti!
This is an amazing property thank you for presenting it so effortlessly.
I love this place because it’s serene, carefully built, and cautious to the property.
Beautiful place. The landscape architecture is exquisite as well.
Amazing, i'm in complete awe. Love FLW so much
That greenhouse area is beautiful!
Beautifully presented! Poetic and reverent just like the house itself 🍂
Exquisite! Love his design here.. Enjoyed every second of this.. Great tour. Well done 👏👏
Wonderfully narrated and educational video of a masterpiece.....I have never heard of!!
The filming itself is so soothing…a sensory experience ❤❤❤ Beautiful
Lovely commentary articulating so much of what I think about how one might live. Thanks.
Genius. Beautifully filmed and presented. Thank you.
Rest in peace 🙏

Thank you AD. My heart was racing as Mr. Graff toured us through the property and explained Wright’s signature elements. This video is a treasure and a wonderful homage to FLW.
Your heart raced when you watched this video? You dweeb
Nice job with this, AD. Beautifully done feature.
For a very long time, I have admired the architecture of FLW, with Falling Water being my favorite. This house just became my new favorite. I love everything about it. Thanks for sharing!!!
Fallingwater.
Amazing house and Stuart Graff gave the best tour ever!
The beauty and peace! Seeing the pond makes me think of the phrase, as above, so below. You see the obscured image in the pond only to lift your gaze to the perfected structure above.
This is a beautiful building , and as i watched the film the haunting sound of the music and water just made my eyes glaze over . so soothing .
I absolutely love spaces like this.
I never knew of Tirranna. I love Falling Waters but it seems more fantasy... difficult to live in. Tirranna looks like so comfortable... single panned glass aside ;)
Fallingwater.
Beautiful. I wouldn't want to live there bc I don't want to ruin such a piece of art.
The most beautiful house I have ever seen. It is art! I want to see a video of each season of the year to see how the house changes with the environment.
Absolutely beautiful and serene! Just watching this video stirred many emotions.
Beautiful! I agree why isn't modern architecture one with nature?
I love how skylights and both the transom and clerestory windows break up the mass of this house.
I feel such peace and pleasure watching this video
I mean...just beautiful and so inspirational, thankyou x
Frank Lloyd Wright ❤️🔥
Terrific and informative video. Simple and straightforward analysis of the ideas behind this design. Can you please do more videos with this narrator and in this visual style on other FLW's houses.
Hermosa Casa, Bello lugar!!!
Thank you video brilliant compliment
Thankyou for sharing this amazing house.
This house makes me emotional for some reason
Gorgeous video thank you
I hope that someone who appreciates gardening can own this house next! Seeing all of these empty planters just makes me wonder if this is what he wanted his legacy to be. Expensive houses without the touches of love he intended
Spectacular!
Amazing video. Thanks for sharing.
Whatever is going on in your life, that may be troubling, causing you sadness or sorrow. Watch this. The gentle pace, music, and narration, all wrapped around, the sheer beauty of the building and its setting, will just, if even for a short time, melt troubles away.....
Warm & Cozy….love❤
Breathtaking.
Joyous!!...thank you...dgp/uk
Stuart Graff was CEO of the foundation during the time of its conflict with the FLW School of Architecture. The foundation is changing the priorities and agenda set by Wright toward an agenda Wright himself did not set.
But the FLLW Foundation's only job and mission is to maintain the public reputation of Wright and protect the use of his name and likeness in copyrights. As far as the actual buildings go, that is under the auspices of The FLLW Building Conservancy in Chicago, an entirely different entity.
@@toddlevin Your answer about the Foundation's mission ought to be intended as irony, but apparently you are serious. I suggest you look into the mission and history a little more deeply.
@@williamtaylor5193 Yes, both are symptoms of underlying cultural changes, as is modern conservatism as well.
Another "living document" proponent are we?@@AndSendMe
Thank you AD for this type of content!❤🎉🎉🎉 Adorable!!!
Que placer vivir en esa casa y oír los sonidos del agua y ver los colores del otoño .
beautiful
Beautiful!
Breathtaking
so beautiful
I'm reading Ayn Rand's Fountain head, who her main character is based off of Frank Lloyd Wright. I now have a deeper appreciation for the book along with quintessential architect. ❤
Thank you!
Oh la la. Excellent
Wow, what a place.
Fabulous.
Such a great analysis
Very Cool - I live a couple towns away on a similar river.
FLW was more of an artist than an architect, IMO. I've yet to see one of his homes that used materials or fabrication methods that weren't mind-bogglingly foolish. The anecdote where a resident called him to complain about a roof leak so bad there was a waterfall landing on the homeowner's desk, and his response was "Move your desk" suggests he was more interested in how a house "felt" than how it functioned.
I have seen over 150 Frank Lloyd Wright houses it's obvious you don't know what you're talking about.
What a beautiful house and Property!
extraordinary!
Thanks for this.
grand master's Frank Lloyd Wright
I will probably never live in such a beautiful place.
But it fills my hearth with joy, knowing it exists. :)
I hope that - with new technologies such as 3D house printing emerging - in the future most houses will be similar in nature (no pun intended) as the ones designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
As many people as possible should be able to live in such homes. :)
The curve of the windows is beautifully reminiscent of Earthship designs.
Stunning and serene ✨
I have gone to like 3 of his houses! It is though cramped when you go inside.
I have been inside over 30. I don't think you know what you're talking about.
So beautiful
