Wingspread in Panoramic View

Wingspread was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Herbert Fisk Johnson, of SC Johnson, in Racine, Wisconsin. It's one of his later designs and is based off of a pinwheel layout. Thanks to Wright's long and sometimes rambling Prairie designs, it was another perfect opportunity to play with the panoramic software.

The software added a fun wave to Wingspread. Frank Lloyd Wright would have never added such a wave to a design which is situated on top of flat ground.

The hearth is the heart of the home. Wingspread really emphasizes this with its central mantle in the living area. Not seen in the back is the fireplace on the second story which is intended to burn eight foot long logs in a vertical position. History says that the vertical fireplace was used only once since there's nothing more disconcerting than having eight foot tall burning logs fall into the room when the bottoms burn out.

The Mantle and Chimney.

Light from the surrounding windows in the roof play off the mantle's brick throughout the day. The massive height of the mantle not only helps to ground the room, but is an excellent opportunity to use the panoramic software to go vertical instead of  horizontal.
