There’s a vibrant red brick interior inside this rare Frank Lloyd Wright-designed home in Wisconsin, for rent through Airbnb.
The pristine riverside home, known as Still Bend, was built in 1940 in the town of Two Rivers, located along the shore of Lake Michigan, and embodies Wright’s vision of modern family life. . It is based on Wright’s The life design from ‘Dream House’ magazine and is a rare example of a two-storey Usonian house (they usually have one floor).
Always bend, also known as Schwartz House, has square brick forms under overhanging flat roofs. Inside the four-bedroom Interwar Manitowac County home are elegant horizontal spaces, with staggered ceilings, red cypress panels, and glass panels overlooking its wide lawns.
Guests can relax in the holiday home’s 20-metre-long living room, which features polished concrete floors in red hues and a library area with a corner fireplace.
Wright described his 1938 Life design as “a small, private club with special intimacies, amenities, and all-weather style.” He realized and updated the design when he built it for Fern and Bernard Schwartz, who spotted his design in the magazine. Wight also designed furniture, cushions, lamps and even fruit bowls for the building.
Still Bend sleeps up to six people for $525 per night (with a minimum stay of two nights). The house is perched on the East Twin River and is featured in Netflix’s second season The World’s Most Incredible Vacation Rentals. Its lawned lot has a fire pit and wooden steps giving access to a jetty, providing a quiet place to while away the hours.
