Another general quip is that permanent furniture integrated into an architectural space often never works as the occupier might intend to live, so in this instance, it's a heavy-handed design solution that Wright imposes on the person living there. Experience has told us that architects are better off refraining themselves from all attempts at laying out furniture, with a particular peeve in this room being the awkwardly large distance of the seating from the windows. Intuition would tell us we'd possibly prefer to get much closer to the glass, because you need to be very close to those smaller windows to see a large, unobstructed portion of the exterior, (which was the primary motivation for LeCorbusier's band window in his five points.) There's actually a psychological component of security to that, because a person standing outside the house and looking in through the small window would leave those of us inside more exposed to their vision than they would leave exposed to us, which is voyeuristic and unsettling. The room has to be a few storeys up in the air to prevent that.

That Wright house is a good example of what happens when ****** taste meets money.

Well then, help a brother out and post one insanely hot chick from Copenhagen so we can get back to mocking people's ****** taste.
