Way back before there was LEED certification, there was Frank Lloyd Wright. And you could argue that Taliesin West, his mesa-top magnum opus in Scottsdale’s McDowell Mountains, kicked off the modern green building movement. So even if home tours aren’t your thing, the importance of Wright’s winter residence and architecture school is undeniable—and now’s the time to visit this 500-acre stunner. Everything you’ll see emerges harmoniously from the desert with FLW’s signature magic.
