It's Quiet Here

Notice the sound. It's quiet here - not in an empty way,
but the kind of quiet you feel when you are embraced by someone who loves you.

The spaces in the Meyer May house feel complete, a safe shelter, welcoming and warm.
The windows flood the place with a soft, magical light that invites looking out,
and every scene through every window is a work of art.

Ours is an era of enormous houses. We step on a soft sea of vacant white carpet,
looking up into vaulted spaces illuminated by high windows with crazy shapes.

These are meaningless, wasteful spaces. Wright's houses were carefully considered,
intimate and peaceful. As resources dwindle, small is the new big.

This is how we must start thinking again.    -Alan R. 

  Somehow words can't really do justice to the beauty of this home or to Frank Lloyd Wright's designs in general. There is something at their core, at once humble and heroic, that speaks to the very essence of human striving. The golden late afternoon sun filled the room. I was struck with the scale of the room and how it seemed so vast and yet so modest. To share that space, if even for a minute, was a gift. - Rockyradio
