It's not so much lost, as it has been rediscovered, and is the only 100% authentic Wright house in New Mexico. Fir Tree House is located north of Pecos, alongside the Pecos River, and is designed to be reminiscent of a 'teepee'. Wright built it for a family who wanted a vacation home with four bedrooms, three baths, and a separate servant's room and bath, and a service wing for the laundry, a water-pumping facility, and a stable; it was built for $10,000. The design employs cedar shingle siding--unusual for Wright--and rough concrete-masonry of the kind seen later at Taliesin West in the Arizona desert. The home’s hexagonal geometry resembles an unbuilt Wright design of the 1920’s for a resort in Lake Tahoe. Fir Tree House was completed in 1948 and then expanded with various additions including a carport; the recent addition of a swimming pool is not of Wright’s design. The plan of the house takes the form of a large parallelogram, with the courtyard entrance passing under the roof, which connects the servant’s room on one side to the laundry on the other. The living room is topped by a teepee-shaped roof covered with cedar shingles. Its large glass window walls meet at a 120-degree angle, and doors open onto a terrace bounded by low stone walls. There is a covered path which edges to a courtyard and the front door, which is angled between the living room and a hallway to the bedroom wing. The living room also features an over sized fireplace and chimney. The hallway leading to the bedroom wing branches to the left as you enter the house. Wright used rough-sawn pine, stained the color of cedar for the interiors. The outstanding feature of the lodge is the living room, where the ceiling rises to a 28-foot height. At the perimeter, the roof drops to an 11-foot height, underscored by a flared rim that runs around the exterior of the entire lodge. A continuous band of narrow clerestory windows marks the point where the high roof joins the lower one and dematerializes this juncture with light. Inside, the rough-sawn rafters of the lower roof extend through the open space under the high ceiling, creating a spectacular kaleidoscope of geometric forms overhead. This innovative system of construction for the living-room ceiling remains unique in Wright’s residential work — he never used it again. As, always, I am a huge fan of Wright’s homes, and this one, which I had never seen before, doesn’t disappoint.

Exclusive: a tour inside a Frank Lloyd Wright house in the Southwest reveals the power of the original interiors, never before published. I visited the Fir Tree House only once, in 1950. An apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright, I was on my way from Taliesin in Wisconsin to Taliesin West in Scottsdale, Arizona, with another apprentice, John deKoven Hill, who had supervised the stonework for the house. Wright had finished it in 1948 for a family who wanted a vacation home with four bedrooms, three baths, and a separate servant's room and bath in a remote valley in the Southwest.

As you can see from the last post, our lives have been a constant turn over from one project to the next. In fact, each day I think that we are done with “projects” but I know deep dpwn that is merely what I tell myself so I can go to sleep and my neighbors can rest in peace from all the noise. Then the next day there are more things to do—I built two large shelves in the garage yesterday. With each project I love the feeling of success and accomplishment. There is one, however, that I am particularly proud of: the tree in Tau’aho’s bedroom. We had gone to a nearby museum and saw a fake tree in the souvenir shop. I looked all over for one to buy for Lucky Dragon’s room. They were all either too expensive or did not respond. So I decided to just make one myself. As with anything else creative—writing, photography, art, building—once I have it in my head I am constantly thinking through the mechanics of developing it until I have finally started and completed it. Some projects evolve as I create them to overcome unseen obstacles, others don’t turn out quite like they looked in my mind’s eye, however, some I am pleased with the end product. Knowing that sometimes my ideas don’t turn out, Lady Hiva said she did not want me to do the tree…but I did it anyway. (not recommended to try at home) I had to get it all out. I took three pieces of wood and made them a moon shaped dome. Next, I used scrap wood to create the branches. It nearly took up half of the garage and when people would come and ask what it was they would look at me with doubt it was going to turn out. But I had faith in my vision. I guess that is much like life, when others doubt and the project seems bigger than we had planned, we have to hold tight to the vision we had and finish. I then took small chicken wire to create some density to the tree and covered that with paper mâché. Once that dried, I spray painted it black then several different colors of brown. Lady Hiva was finally beginning to see the vision! YAY! It dried and then we had to struggle to get it into the house and bedroom. That alone was comical. Once in, I secured it to the wall and ceiling then added leaves and twinkle lights. Lucky Boy came into the room and said with all excitement, “Oooh! A kisa-mas tree!” He loves to have it on while we read books and show it off to people that come visit. I am so glad that it turned out. I am glad Lady Hiva likes it too. Now, it is not perfect, but to have something my little guy likes and is happy about, makes me happy too. So, despite proving you can build your own tree, just remember that no matter what anyone else says, believe in yourself and your own creativity. If you cannot quite do it, then remember I BELIEVE IN YOU! (that should at least get you started)
