An avid fan of all things design, I have long been in love with the rich lines and classic style of architects such as Frank Lloyd Wright. Only recently am I beginning to understand the purity in his design. His designs were based on the "form and function are one" philosophy. Wright focused blending his designs with nature. He believed that a house should blend with the hill it was built on and not purely be built "on a hill."
Projects were designed on a flat plane with no basements and horizontal roofs with large overhangs-these designs represent the Prairie School Movement--designed to complement life in the Midwest--one such house is the
Robie House. Much of his work tied was around the
Usonian home concept. This
Usonian concept refers to a collection of fifty middle income homes Wright designed. They were built to fit on lower cost, odd L-shaped plots of land. The roof overhangs provided natural heating and cooling and larger windows provided natural light. Interestingly, the term
Usonain is derived from United States of North America (
USONA).
Other notable designs include The Guggenheim museum that mimics a shell and Falling Water-the home becomes the falls it was built within.
In 1991, Wright was recognized by The American Institute of Architects as "the greatest American architect of all time" and he truly is, designing works that blend with their natural landscapes--melding modernity into nature seamlessly.
Marra says. “We just sort of buy what we love; the challenge is to take it home and somehow make it work.” The siblings credit their parents with inspiring them to experiment with color and décor.
“Our home [growing up] was always really interesting and always had a great mix of very contemporary and super traditional pieces,” Julius says. “Something we tell our customers all the time—and something we try to do at our house—is find a way to mix old with new.” 
Their home holds everything from Hello Kitty, shag rugs, neon lights, and taxidermy; but it all somehow works. Their mantra seems to be that rules were made to be broken, but amidst all these broken rules the house their home boasts incredible, unpredictable style oh which I am incredibly jealous.....
