Short post by Spacing Toronto's Thomas Wicks on Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style, specifically one lone example of same in Deer Park, a suburban T.O. neighbourhood. I added a comment, re. the house's use of what looks like the textile block system.

This I love. It reminds me of a really cool and timely update of Frank Lloyd Wright's ideas about texture, and how the appropriate emphasis on surface texture will relate to your bodily experiences, will make you experience time differently (perhaps more slowly -- note the knobby quality of the highly polished "bon-bons" vs the smooth glass of the entry, not to mention the strict geometry of the stairs (see esp'y the 3rd picture).
