Panorama of Color
So, let's see if we can interpret what we know about Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural principles to the colors of SAMARA. Autumn's gold can be seen in the carpet and draperies. Rust and green colors appear in the furniture coverings.
From floor to ceiling, walls of windows allow Nature's colors and textures to pour into the house. Plants inside allow Nature to impart the same textures and colors found outside.
Building materials lend their own special warmth and color. Red brick is both a material and a color, and is contrasted against the softness of the Philippine mahogany.
Cherokee red is the choice for the polished concrete floors of SAMARA balanced by a wide spectrum of other natural colors adding to the beauty of it all.
Color schemes found inside the house are seen again on the outside, and all the while, the house takes full advantage of natural sunlight to enhance and brighten everything.
At night, SAMARA is skillfully lighted with soft, pink bulbs in Wright designed lamps and recessed fixtures in the ceilings. Even on the outside, the extended eave of the lower roof, with its white plastered surface, contains recessed lighting identical to those found inside.
With light reflected from the reddish brick terrace wall and floor, the lighted eave adds a contrasting, yet distinctively true, color to the living room at night.
SAMARA, like the work of an artist, is a wonderous glow of color at night!
