点评:Frank Lloyd Wright’s Rosenbaum House in Florence, Alabama. Originally a 1,500 square foot Usonian, expanded when Mrs. Rosenbaum was expecting their 4th child by another 1,100 square foot ft. Wright designed all his Usonians for expansion, most never were.
The current butler area was the entire original kitchen space! The Tudor in the last photo was Mr. Rosenbaum’s father’s home. He gifted the newlyweds an acre and $7,500 towards construction. The average home construction was $4,000 at the time.
We have rented 2 Usonians for multi-day stays and toured at least 4 others. We’ve also rented/toured dozens of other Wright structures. We believe this is the best Usonian yet.
Designed for a family to live in, while appreciating nature and function. Although the original kitchen was closet-sized, that was the norm for the time.
翻译:弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特设计的罗森鲍姆住宅位于阿拉巴马州佛罗伦萨。最初是一座1500平方英尺的乌托邦式住宅,后来罗森鲍姆夫人怀上第四个孩子时,又扩建了1100平方英尺。赖特设计的所有乌托邦式住宅都预留了扩建空间,但大多数从未真正扩建过。
现在的管家区就是最初的整个厨房空间!最后一张照片中的都铎式建筑是罗森鲍姆先生父亲的故居。他赠予这对新婚夫妇一英亩土地和7500美元的建房款。当时,房屋的平均造价是4000美元。
我们租住过两座乌托邦式住宅,进行多日住宿,并参观过至少四座其他的乌托邦式住宅。我们也租住/参观过数十座赖特的其他建筑。我们认为这是迄今为止最好的乌托邦式住宅。
这座住宅的设计旨在让家庭在享受自然和实用功能的同时,也能舒适地居住。虽然最初的厨房只有壁橱大小,但这在当时是正常的。
