We approach our exterior painting no differently than any
other expert service we provide because we understand that the outside can be
the first and most lasting impression. Frank Lloyd Wright (1867-1959), one of
American’s most famous architects, understood this all too well. In fact, he even had a specific philosophy
when it came to interior and exterior paint colors. With a career spanning
almost 70 years, Wright designed over 1,141 buildings and inspired an entire
school of architecture. You may be familiar with some of his most notable
projects. He designed the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, the Marin County
Civic Center in California, the Robie House in Chicago, the Imperial Hotel in
Tokyo, and his own home/studio in Oak Park, Chicago.
We admire Frank Lloyd Wright’s imaginative approach to
design and even more so; his philosophy when it came to choosing color. Two
sources helped him determine his color palette: the natural surroundings of his
site and the nature (texture, color, shape, etc.) of his building materials.
Wright’s famous Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York
City is currently white, but architecture experts believe that he would not
have approved of this color. Wright’s meticulous designs of the building were
based on organic shapes—spirals, the nautilus shell, etc.—and so they believe
that an earthier tone would have been more appropriate. We came across an old architectural sketch
online that suggests Wright was dabbling in shades of red, including one he was
well known for, “Cherokee red.”
