Frank Lloyd Wright always had an intense interest in low- and moderate-cost homes. One solution was his Usonian Automatic—a system of special owner-built concrete blocks, unique to each house, woven together to make a home—just the sort of thing that NZ’s Building Code now makes illegal—of which the Turkel House in Detroit, Michigan, is a recently restored example.
Head here to the Hour Detroit for the story of the restoration, and many more pictures.
And head to the owners’ own website for more of the story. Hat tip Prairie Mod.

Of all of Frank Lloyd Wright's houses, Falling Water is my favorite and the Dorothy Turkel House is No. 2 on the favorite list.
