This house in Racine, Wisconsin, was designed in 1951 by architect John Randal McDonald, who built it for his own family. McDonald’s work was heavily influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright. More recently, James Drzewiecki, an architect and landscape designer who has studied Frank Lloyd Wright extensively, was over the moon at the opportunity to rework the home’s neglected landscape. Drzewiecki took his cues from the architecture. “The couple who bought the house know they are living in a museum piece,” he says. He treated it as one in his design, as well. “It would be very hard not to be inspired by the architecture of a house that looks like this, but it was also important not to go overboard and overshadow the home,” he says.
