Thanks for posting these.
I've never seen this house.

No doubt Breuer's work lies with the "International Style," but something about the ingenuity of these cantilevers seems Wright like to me. It has ...

I'm interested what the Wright Chat consensus would be on inducting this house into the FLLW-CC? On the one hand, relative to Wright, it's too prosaic to be given the award.
