Notable American architect Frank Lloyd Wright predominantly constructed his distinctive modernist structures and residences throughout the early 1900s. However, it wasn’t until 1959 – a year after his death – that his last design was found in his desk. This hidden gem was finally built in 2023 when a private buyer secured the original property. Known as “Project #5909” and originally intended to be called the RiverRock House, this dwelling now offers guests the opportunity for overnight stays.
At RiverRock, situated in Willoughby Hills, Ohio, you’ll find a house that embodies Frank Lloyd Wright’s “Usonian” design philosophy, influenced by the expansive American landscapes. This is evident in its horizontally aligned structures tailored to the site, large windows, wooden and stone interiors, and unique layouts. The architectural style here shares similarities with renowned projects such as the Jacobs House and Fallingwater. A distinctive feature of this project is its use of stones from the nearby Chagrin River, a detail prescribed in the original blueprints.
Today, Frank Lloyd Wright’s homes continue to be popular among architecture aficionados, fetching millions of dollars in sales. For instance, designer Marc Jacobs recently revealed his restored home designed by Wright in Westchester, NY, which he bought for approximately 9.17 million US dollars in 2019 as reported by Dwell. In the early months of 2024, Wright’s Tirranna House in New Canaan, Connecticut was sold for 6.1 million US dollars.
Nevertheless, the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation expresses reservations towards certain modifications made to RiverRock, necessitated by modern regulations. As reported by Wallpaper, the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy has raised concerns over RiverRock’s authenticity, suggesting that the alterations deviate excessively from the original blueprints, causing it to no longer be considered a genuine ‘Wright.’
Guests have the opportunity to explore the house personally, and they can even reserve a night’s accommodation by navigating to the official RiverRock site.
