Today, the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust announced that John Ronan will design a new visitor and education center for Wright’s famed Oak Park home and studio. The expansion, which will add more than 20,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, will create a new arrival point for the public and allow the non-profit to increase its educational programming.
The Trust selected John Ronan from a group of all Chicago-based finalists including Krueck + Sexton, Pappageorge Haymes, Perkins + Will and Vinci Hamp Architects, citing his proposal’s “design simplicity, quiet presence within the site, and use of materials referencing the site and surrounding neighborhood,” said board chairman Bob Miller in a statement. “This is the most important initiative since the Trust’s founding and restoration of the home and studio. It will ensure that Wright’s legacy remains vital to future generations.”
