Shadows Everywhere
The Grey Tones

SAMARA, more than anything else, is a play on the eye. The greatest play comes from shadows - the grey patterns cast by shapes from backlighting - either natural or man-made.

Winter, summer, fall or spring the shadows cast in various shades of grey are constantly changing. All the other colors give balance to the work of art known as SAMARA. The greys give SAMARA an unique character, a softness, a warmth of their own.

The grandest splendor of SAMARA is the creation of shadows. From the ceilings to the floors and around the rooms on every wall, shadows play a dominant role in portraying the stunning architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright.

We can describe the effect of color at SAMARA in any medium - written, photographed, by electronic imaging - but the ONLY way to really know and feel these things is to experience them. A visit is the only way to really find out about the colors of SAMARA.
