Circular house in Arizona that was Frank Lloyd Wright’s last project for sale

Legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s last project before his death has gone on sale for $8.95 million.

It features a unique design made up of a series of overlapping concentric circles – and displays crescents, circles and triangles cut into its curved concrete block exterior

The house was commissioned in 1959 and completed by Wright apprentice John Rattenbury in 1967 for shipping magnate Norman Lykes and his wife Aimee, according to Dirtiness.

It would be one of the 14 circular houses created by Wright.

It last sold for US$1.7 million in 2019, but once listed for almost US$8 million before undergoing a refurbishment and listing on Airbnb.

Known as the “Circular Sun House” or even the “Lykes House”, it was updated in the early 1990s.

The three-bedroom, three-bathroom home is painted white on the exterior and spans a floor plan of 279 square meters.

Features of the split-level space include slate floors, mahogany walls, fitted wardrobes, and winding hallways.
