Frank Lloyd Wright "Taliesin"

Frank Lloyd Wright (1867 – 1959) was an American architect, interior designer, writer, and educator, who designed more than 1,000 structures, 532 of which were completed. 
Wright designed structures which were in harmony with humanity and its environment, a philosophy he called organic architecture.

Taliesin /ˌtæliˈɛsᵻn/, located 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south of the village of Spring Green in Iowa County, Wisconsin was home to Wright after he had left his first wife and home in Oak Park, Illinois with a mistress, Mamah Borthwick. 

Wright designed all the buildings and interiors himself.

The structure (which included an agricultural and studio wing) was completed in 1911 but Wright redesigned and rebuilt it several times.
