 Earlier this month, claass HAUS took a look at Frank Lloyd Wright’s ambitious American System-Built Homes. Constructed just two decades later, Wright's (little known) Suntop Homes are yet another example of the architect’s pioneering experiments in suburban housing.

You're on point about the availability of the Suntop units. From the 1970s to 1990s one was owned by a restoration architect who sold it to another restoration architect, with whom I once worked. Yet another had the ceilings raised because the owner was well over 6 ft tall. Wright was 5'-8" and scaled interiors to his height, so the kitchen and bedrooms could be a bit claustrophobic.
