Wealth of Color SAMARA has a wealth of colorful accent pieces. Over the years, the Christian family has collected objects d'art from around the world, adding color and life to their Usonian masterpiece. Books, lamps, terra cotta, brass, china and glassware, all provide endless combinations of texture and color both inside and outside of their home. These objects along with the architects furniture and accent designs, help create a colorful, living SAMARA. Frank Lloyd Wright designed a Japanese garden or lanai that can be accessed from inside the house through French doors located in the dining room and in the master and guest bedrooms. The lanai includes a red concrete patio, a small grassy area and an array of plantings of evergreen trees and shrubs. Vivid SAMARA colors, including Taliesin red, copper patina and pine green, merge to create an oriental mood. Light and shadows on the lanai, like inside the house, mix with the furniture, accent pieces and vegetation to produce endless color combinations. |
