Best green home: The Wright way

Project: Taliesin Mod.Fab, Scottsdale, AZ

What we love: The optimism and vision of Taliesin students are visible everywhere in this smart prefab.

The result of a design/build class taught by Jennifer Siegal and Michael P. Johnson, it’s a dynamic, livable house that honors Frank Lloyd Wright’s legacy while tackling important design issues of today, from innovative prefabrication to sustainable systems like solar panels and rainwater and gray-water collection.

Design: Michael P. Johnson, faculty lead, Mod.Fab Studio, Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture at Taliesin West, Scottsdale, AZ.
