Your Weekend . . .

On Saturday morning, I tour the exceptional Frank Lloyd Wright-style home designed by John Rattenbury, who became a member of the Taliesin Fellowship in 1950 and worked on sixty of Wright’s projects, including the Guggenheim Museum, the Gammage Auditorium, and the Marin County Civic Center. Following Wright’s death in 1959, he helped to establish Taliesin Architects, where he continued to serve as a Principal Architect and Planner, until 2003. He has designed over 250 projects around the globe.

Theilen Home Tour

The Theilen home offers an unsurpassed pedigree for those who appreciate Wright’s work. It was designed by John Rattenbury, who was an apprentice under Wright and senior architect at Taliesin West when he designed this secluded Preston Hollow residence. The home’s interior designer, Kay Rattenbury, had lived and studied with the Wright’s since she was 14 years old. The result is a stunning residence that is as close to a Frank Lloyd Wright house as one could possibly achieve in the 1990’s when it was built.

Located on a cul-de-sac minutes from Dallas’ most respected private schools, 9100 Guernsey is in harmony with nature and blends seamlessly with the surrounding wooded grounds of approximately 1.1 acres. Truly a rare find, it offers an architecturally significant home in a private and picturesque setting.
