"Wright gave the Lewis family what every family deserves: a home that breathes with the land beneath it. Spring House grows from Florida soil like the cypress trees that surround it, not imposed upon nature but born from it. Built in 1954 for Clifton and George Lewis II, this hemicycle house stands as the only private home Wright designed in Florida."
"The timing of its creation places it among Wright's final residential works, completed during the same period as the Guggenheim Museum and sharing similar revolutionary curved geometries. Spring House belongs to an exclusive group of only 11 hemicycle homes Wright ever realized, making it one of the rarest architectural forms in his extensive catalog of over 400 surviving structures. The Lewis family approached Wright in 1950 after meeting him at Florida Southern College, seeking an architect who could create something beyond conventional residential design."
"Architecture lovers spend decades dreaming of owning a Frank Lloyd Wright home. Most settle for pilgrimage visits. The reality hits hard when they discover that Wright's surviving homes rarely change hands, and when they do, the price tags often exceed seven figures. Designer: Frank Lloyd Wright For those who've longed to experience Wright's organic architecture philosophy firsthand, a unique opportunity has emerged that could change everything. Frank Lloyd Wright's Spring House for sale represents the only chance to own Wright's sole Florida residence."
Frank Lloyd Wright's Spring House was built in 1954 for Clifton and George Lewis II as Wright's sole private Florida residence and one of only 11 realized hemicycle houses. The design embodies Wright's organic architecture, integrating the home with Florida soil and surrounding cypress trees and rejecting imposition on nature. Created during Wright's late period alongside the Guggenheim Museum, the hemicycle form marked a curved-geometries departure from his earlier Prairie and Usonian rectangular forms. The Lewis family approached Wright after meeting him at Florida Southern College in 1950, seeking a residence beyond conventional design. Wright's surviving homes rarely change hands and often command seven-figure prices.
