Her concept was to deliver a Mediterranean interior with an industrial rustic feel to it. By blending elements like concrete, aged oak beams, chandeliers, modern art, having exposed ceilings and newly created mezzanine levels to house the private areas of the residence, the end result  turned out to be magnificent and heartwarming.

It’s rough luxe and bucolic drama and all the modern comforts. A weekend retreat to be shared with family and friends.

Kenneth Laurent House by Frank Lloyd Wright https://www.loftenberg.com/kenneth-laurent-housefrank-lloyd-wright/ https://www.loftenberg.com/kenneth-laurent-housefrank-lloyd-wright/#respond Fri, 25 Nov 2011 16:59:59 +0000 https://www.loftenberg.com/?guid=8b6474a8b9c0455289950c0154e5e998 Frank Lloyd Wright‘s “Kenneth Laurent” House is currently up for auction. The residence is located in Rockford, Illinois and was especially designed by the architecture legend for a wheelchair bound veteran, during the years 1949 and 1952. Ths house is built of tidewater cypress and common brick.

The one-story house is one of FLW’s smaller homes and one of his favorites. It showcases a lovely ellipse shape and occupies an area of 2500 square meters. Featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the crib has flowing and gently curved spaces, perfect for family living. The Kenneth Laurent house displays a custom made interior design, with several intriguing items, all included in the sale. Some of the unique elements that this home comes with, are a pair of barrel chairs, panel armchairs, six hassocks, various tables, wrought iron fireplace grates, slatted wall lights and decorative screens. So if you are on the lookout for a one-of-a-kind residence, this genuine Frank Lloyd Wright masterpiece can be yours, but it might take you back about 700,000 USD.

The house is set on 1.2 rolling semi-wooded acres. Built for Kenneth and Phyllis Laurent following Kenneth’s debilitating WWII combat injury, it’s the only handicapped accessible FLW house. Remarkably, the couple has lived there ever since, deciding to move into assisted living only recently. Thanks to their longstanding stewardship, not much has been altered structurally. Earlier in the year, however, some of the original Wright furniture went up for auction. The pictures precede that event so may not reflect the current state.

Wynkoop Loft https://www.loftenberg.com/wynkoop-loft/ https://www.loftenberg.com/wynkoop-loft/#respond Fri, 04 Mar 2011 21:49:50 +0000 https://www.loftenberg.com/?p=2584 This great-looking loft in Denver, Colorado was designed to reflect the owner’s passion for automobiles. The designer who handled this design is Beaton Design. The challenge was to create a comfortable space that would reflect a strong passion for exotic automobiles in its lines, form and detailing.

The apartment also features unusual walls that divide the space into six well defined living areas. Glass additions contribute to the overall contemporary feel and aesthetics of the loft. Modern and unexpected forms are at the basis of beautiful apartment design. Throughout this crib, one can observe eccentric decorative items, decadent fabrics and contracts of great visual effects. The living room is spacious and airy, with large windows, a perfect interior for working or socializing. We were particularly intrigued by the design of the entertaining area which can serve as a good source of inspiration.
