The Hanna house is a milestone in Frank Lloyd Wright’s career and one of the acknowledged masterworks of 20th-century architecture. The Hannas tell how they came to commission Wright, how they received his ingenious yet provocative design based on a hexagonal pattern like a bee’s honeycomb and how it was built all within their means. In this reprint of the 1981 MIT edition they also tell what it meant to live and enjoy life in this unprecedented structure that was eventually given to Stanford University.

Paul R. Hanna is Lee L. Jacks Professor of Child Education Emeritus at Stanford and Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution.
Jean S. Hanna taught English for many years and coauthored and edited several widely used textbooks with her husband.
Dr. and Mrs. Hanna have described in a remarkably documented account, the conception, planning and construction of the Honeycomb House designed for them by my husband in 1936. The house that they so bravely built is a well-known innovation both in design and structure.” Olgivanna Lloyd Wright
The Hannas’ account of working with Wright, told from the clients’ perspective, offers a fascinating account of how the artist and the buyers worked together to create a masterpiece.” AB Bookman’s Weekly
