Frank Lloyd Wright - Circular Sun House

The Very Best of FLW's Circular Homes

Phoenix, Arizona - 1967

Designed in 1959 and built in 1967, the Norman Lykes House, also known as the 'Circular Sun House', was Frank Lloyd Wright's final residential design before his passing. It's one of only 14 circular homes by the master architect and is truly one of a kind.

The iconic property is located on a desert mountain overlooking the Biltmore area of

Phoenix, Arizona.

The home is a perfect example of Wright’s curvy, late-career style (also see: the Guggenheim). From above, the desert mountain structure and its crescent-shaped pool look like a set of intricate clock gears (Wright credited the curving ridge lines of the surrounding hills as his inspiration).

Located on more than 1.3 acres on the edge of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom estate covers 3,095 square feet.

Designed specifically to blend into the desert and constructed from concrete blocks resembling the surrounding boulders, the curvaceous structure looks just like a natural part of the landscape.

Most of the home’s windows avoid direct sunlight, yet the interiors are filled with light and offer spectacular views of Palm Canyon.

The home’s master suite features a balcony offering views of the canyon and valley, while the second-story office offers up a 360-degree view of the surrounding area.

According to its listing, the residence features Philippine mahogany handcrafted throughout and comes with mid-century modern furnishings included. It also a has garden terrace that includes a pool lined with mother-of-pearl.
