Bassevitch House

The house May designed for Marcus and Bluma Bassevitch shows a fascinating synthesis of Wright's organic architecture and modern building techniques. The main roof support structure is created with the use of steel beams which are left partially exposed. 

Another innovative and unique industrial material used in the house are thin pre-cast concrete panels which are attached to the ceiling as covering. The soft and warm yellow color of this material provides an interesting contrast to the other materials used in the house – redwood and white oak, slate, copper and brick. The complete lack of decorated or painted surfaces of any type reveal a kinship with Wright's concepts of Organic Architecture.

Designer Richard Kelley collaborated with May to create an innovative lighting design.

Original interiors by Marcus Bassevitch's sister, the amazing Florence Bassevitch Barron.
