Frank Lloyd Wright’s One-of-a-Kind Circular Sun House Lists in Arizona

Also known as the Norman Lykes House, the round residence is one of just 14 circle-style homes from the renowned architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Crafted by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this eyecatching Arizona residence is recognized as the designer’s final project before his death Consisting of a series of overlapping concentric circles and displaying crescents, circles and triangles cut out of its curving concrete block exterior the innovative structure was commissioned in 1959 and built in ’67 by shipping magnate Norman Lykes and his wife Aimee It’s one of only 14 circular homes created by Wright during his lengthy career. Completed by Wright’s apprentice John Rattenbury in 1967, the “Circular Sun House” also known as the “Lykes House” was extensively updated and remodeled in the early ’90s by the same architect, without any alterations to the original footprint. In its current iteration, the three-bedroom, three-bath house has just over 3,000 square feet of split-level living space highlighted by slate floors, mahogany walls, extensive built-ins and meandering hallways Expansive arched windows also offer picturesque canyon, mountain and city lights views.
