FLW designed Tracy Residence house tour in Normandy Park, WA

Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Tracy Residence
EcoHome Foundation
Normandy Park, Washington
January 21 and 22, 2012

EcoHome Foundation is hosting a tour of the Tracy Residence in Normandy Park, WA. This is a rare opportunity to see a fantastic architectural gem in Puget Sound. The Tracy Residence has just been named one of the ";10 Greatest Homes" in the Seattle area by Seattle Metropolitan Magazine.

In 1955 Frank Lloyd Wright designed a unique Usonian house for Bill and Elizabeth Tracy for their beautiful waterfront site in Normandy Park. The “Usonian Automatic” included organic design features which were, by then, well known--red concrete floors, handmade custom concrete blocks, natural redwood and full height glass doors that open the house to the out-of-doors. The house receives natural light throughout the day via the perforated blocks creating interesting patterns of light throughout the day. This beautifully sited house-as-work-of-art has been well published and has Wright's original furniture. Spring is a beautiful time to visit this home. The EcoHome Foundation is pleased to share the magic of this home with you.

Reservations for this rare opportunity are limited and will go quickly!!! Bookings will be assigned by time. Tour tickets are $35 per person for Saturday (1/21) morning; Saturday (1/21) afternoon (not including the sunset tour at 5 pm); or Sunday (1/22) morning if Saturday tours fill up. If you have a specific time preference the tour organizer will book the closest time possible.

There is also a special 5 pm Saturday Sunset Tour which includes wine and hors d'oeuvres in the living room while enjoying the sunset ($100 per person).
