卡拉马祖

Parkwyn Village is a neighborhood of Kalamazoo, Michigan that was founded in the 1940s by a group of young scientists, employed at the Upjohn Company, who had a vision for a "congenial housing community." They purchased a 47-acre tract of land in 1946. By the fall of that year, they prevailed upon world-famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, to layout the community and design affordable houses they could build themselves.

The homeowners pooled their resources so that they could buy materials in bulk, make their own concrete blocks, and do some of the work of building the homes.  Wright's site plan would accommodate 40 lots of approximately 1-acre in size. 


Wright's Usonian style  homes were designed to be modular with a large living room and fireplace, a convenient kitchen, indirect lighting, heated concrete floors and built-in furniture and closets. The walls would be constructed of inexpensive concrete blocks accented with mahogany trim and an extensive wall of windows overlooking a naturally landscaped yard. Designed to control costs, they would have no attic, basement, visible roof, garage, gutters or downspouts. While only four of Parkwyn's homes are pure Wright designs, his concepts influenced the majority of homes in the neighborhood.

One of the Lake in MI
The home was the first of the four built in Parkwyn Village and is constructed of concrete blocks, with interior trim of red Tidewater cypress.  The plan had several irregular protrusions that give it a pinwheel effect.  A playroom with basement was added in 1960 by John Howe of Taliesin Associated Architects.

The homes are all individually owned and not open to the public. Driving around the neighborhood to check them out was pretty interesting.
"Once in a blue moon" refers to those rare times when there are two full moons in one month. August 2012's second full moon was on the 31st. The rare Blue Moon shined bright for the first time since 2009. The next Blue Moon won't happen until July 2015. Also the moon isn't actually blue in color... #puremichigan #kalamazoo #moon #bluemoon
