You're not completely wrong: there was a hot European starlet sunbathing on the roof deck of the Villa Malaparte; it was Brigitte Bardot.<br /><br />But <a href="http://pc.blogspot.com/2010/03/villa-malaparte-capri-adalberto-libera.html" rel="nofollow">the Villa Malaparte in Capri</a> was not a FLW number: <a href="http://pc.blogspot.com/2007/05/villa-malaparte-adalberto-libera-and.html" rel="nofollow">it was designed by Adalberto Libera</a> and his client Curzio Malaparte.<br /><br />Surprise: The FLFW stairs are actually number four! Designed in the 1890s for Chicago building The Rookery where Frank and many other young architect colleagues had their downtown offices, and for which Wright re-designed the lobby.Peter Cresswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699845031503699181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-47968010376845111442011-10-12T08:10:56.978+13:002011-10-12T08:10:56.978+13:00FLW - I hope it is the second to last one (which l...FLW - I hope it is the second to last one (which looks fantastic to me), but that would be incredible as it looks so sleek and modern.TimVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851584854203250765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-22543301678396007132011-10-12T01:47:21.145+13:002011-10-12T01:47:21.145+13:00My guess is as Tribeless's.

That said, I seem to remember a European setting for those and something to do with Sophia Loren so maybe with the StairPorn.org link I am getting incorrect mental association...<br /><br />I love the stairs that used the hemp rope for a balustrade - would go well on a housing renovation here in the Docklands.Andrew Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938498951651948409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11906042.post-20741220403719349512011-10-11T11:56:12.775+13:002011-10-11T11:56:12.775+13:00Love the tree banister.
