Taliesin West Guided Tour

Frank Lloyd Wright's desert laboratory

Frank Lloyd Wright established Taliesin West in 1937 as his winter home and studio, and returned to it every winter until his death in 1959. Built from desert stone, redwood and canvas, it became his laboratory for an architecture shaped by the Sonoran landscape, and it is now a National Historic Landmark and part of the UNESCO World Heritage inscription The 20th-Century Architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. Tours lead on foot through the complex's terraces, studios and living spaces, explaining how Wright and his apprentices built, lived and worked here.
