2. Designed the spring house for a family with “a lot of
children and not much money.”
Completed the plans in 1952 which was an
unconventional passive solar “hemicycle” design ;
which made it difficult to find a builder.
Some exterior features of Mr. Wrights design were not
completed because of additional costs including a
terrace wall and reflecting pool.
