Designers That Inspire Me

There is an endless amount of designers out in todays world that have many inspirational designs that will turn heads from anyone even if they aren't interested in design. But I am going to showcase one that inspire me. His name is Frank Lloyd Wright, he has an endless amount of spaces that he's designed over his time and many that are inspirational to all designers. Many people know him for his Falling Water design which is a beautiful home that is located in Pennsylvania over a water fall.

Falling water's design was way ahead of its time, it's beautiful architecture and modern lines sit beautifully upon its natural surroundings. The process of building a home over a natural stream takes years of knowledge to achieve. You have to take in addition that the home has to be strong enough to last the strength of the river in its high points and through heavy rains. The home was created in 1936 and is still standing today, the home is open for tours and it always draws in the "ooohs" and "awwws" of its public.

I luckily had the chance to visit one of Frank Lloyd Wright's projects and it was his home  that he named Taliesin West in Arizona, Phoenix. I made the mistake of not bringing my camera with me that day But the house was absolutely beautiful. From his own personal sculptures to his own technique of tiling was showcased all throughout his home.

This is the view of his Arizona home from the far end of his pool. The home was way past its generation of design and showcases the beautiful application of desert rock and sleek modern lines. The home itself sits almost naturally through its surroundings.
