I recently contributed to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation’s quarterly magazine for a special issue on Wright’s high-rises, including the famous Mile-High Illinois. But one design always stood out for me: the beautiful Call Building A fellow Wright enthusiast, Theodore Zheng, a game art designer, reached out to me and after a quick email exchange,…

Mile High Illinois
This is probably Frank Lloyd Wright’s most famous unbuilt project and, from a more personal point of view, the second-largest model I have ever made. The construction of this model was long and complex, all the floors are different, so for each of the 528 floors I had to create a unique polyline. For the…
Thomas C. Lea House
Frank Lloyd Wright designed a house for Thomas C. Lea near Ashevillle, North Carolina in 1949 based on the summer cabins he originally designed for Lake Tahoe California in 1923 and later on the E. A. Smith house. The design is beautiful and shows a hexagonal plan around the fireplace which houses the daytime area…

The Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy is a non-profit organization in charge of facilitating the preservation and administration of the existing works designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The Conservancy grants every year The Wright Spirit Award, which “recognizes the efforts of extraordinary individuals and organizations who have preserved the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright through…
Arizona Capitol
I made this model for the quarterly magazine of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and is about a large government complex designed by Wright for the city of Phoenix. Wright designed an unsolicited project with the intention of creating debate around a contest to which he was not invited and whose result was not to…
Universal Portland Pavilion
The Universal Portland Cement Co. Exhibition Pavilion was a beautiful and tiny temporary pavilion designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. In this our second collaboration together, Chad Solon and I have been interested in recreating it in the same way we did the Spaulding room. From here I leave Chad describing the project in his own…
The Daylight Bank
This is a commission I made last year for the FLLW Foundation Quarterly Magazine, it is the Valley National Bank, a small bank office that FLLW designed in Tucson, Arizona in 1957. As always, Wright’s ideas were ahead of his time by designing a bank in which it was possible to access without having to…
Pink Guggenheim
Once a work of art is finished it is difficult to imagine that at some point in history it could have been different. Reading this article, it is interesting to know that the Guggenheim was not always the bright white color with which we can observe it today, the original color used to be beige,…
Spaulding Print Room
William S. and John T. Spaulding commissioned Frank Lloyd Wright in 1916 to design a room to store and display their incredible collection of Japanese prints. Assembled over many years, it consisted of over 6000 prints, all of the absolute highest quality and rarity. It was a collection that Wright was intimately familiar with. When…
Four Dimensions Trinity Chapel
Recently I have been collaborating with the companies Unreal Engine and HP and now we can show you the Trinity Chapel in all his glory through Virtual Reality. It has been a very interesting experience to work on exporting my model from the original version that I created in 3dsMax and Vray to the Unreal…
