The pergola, seen here, was faithfully reconstructed using Wrights letters as references.The propertys pergola is a long covered walkway that connects the main home to the conservatory. To the average visitor it would be impossible to tell where the original structure ends without that knowledge, though its useful information to understand the massive amount of work that went into faithfully recreating the Martin House complex.Like the rest of Wrights structures, compression and release are important to the design of the Martin House estate. The variation in ceiling height and room size ushers guests into the spaces that Wright intended visitors to linger in. The main homes entryway and its staircase, which might have been a focal point in another architect of the times hands, is decidedly understated.He felt like the upstairs is a personal, private family space, so why would you make the stairs so prominent? Fisher says. Relatively small details, like keeping the light level low in the staircase, indicate Wrights deliberate reimagining of standards in home design.Interior design of the Martin HouseWright designed much of the furniture for the Martin House, including the Barrel Chair, the light fixtures, and the built-in bookshelves that are cleverly hidden throughout the open living space (which is also called the unit room). The furniture within the home is a mix of original pieces and reproductions. A variety of different art glass windows appear throughout the property, creating a soft divide between the interior space and the surrounding landscaping.The library in the Martin HouseThe wisteria mosaic that graces all four sides of the fireplace is one of the most unique elements of the Martin Houses interiors. It stands between the entry hall and the unit room, connecting the two spaces and drawing visitors from the former into the latter. The brown-and-green-colored mosaic was recreated by Botti Studio of Architectural Arts using mostly new tile.Frequently Asked QuestionsWho owns the Martin House?The main house itself is owned by a corporation called Frank Lloyd Wrights Martin House (which was formerly named the Martin House Restoration Corporation).
