Welcome to
Lazy Wine
Ranch!
Our architectural design was influenced
by
Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style, Japanese touches,
Lake Tahoe Chalets, and
a desire
for opening
windows to nature...
Wright believed passionately that a "natural" house,
designed in such a way as to blend organically into its
physical environment and be fully compatible with the everyday
needs of its occupants, could serve as the basis of "a
better way of life."
The huge windows, the open, uncluttered floor plans,
the straightforward use of such simple materials as wood,
brick,
concrete and rough-textured masonry: All create the illusion
of a vast interior space in close harmony with its natural
surroundings. Instead of walls, subtly varied ceiling heights denote
the different living areas surrounding the massive fireplace
that is the linchpin of every Wright house.
...in which there is no predominating feature, but in
which the entire is so coordinated as to achieve a thing
of beauty.
