The Fountainhead, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1948, is a storied residence in Jackson, Mississippi, embodying principles of radical individualism and harmony with nature. Commissioned by oil magnate J. Willis Hughes, this structure reflects Wright's vision through its innovative design and use of natural materials. Spanning 3,558 square feet, the diamond-shaped layout emphasizes a harmonious flow rather than traditional right angles. Constructed from Tidewater Red Cypress and topped with a copper roof, it presents an exquisite example of architectural storytelling that stands out in its environment.
Fountainhead is not just a house; it's a physical embodiment of philosophy, channeling Wright's ideals of harmony with nature, radical individualism, and uncompromised design.
The residence’s 3,558-square-foot layout features a diamond-shaped floor plan and utilizes a parallelogram as its blueprint, emphasizing geometric rhythm and innovative design.
