Blizzard, one of the company’s most popular colors, was installed as the kitchen countertop of the project. The home, which is engineered to be transportable via roadway, is an example of elegant and sustainable living in the desert. The one-bedroom, 600-square-foot prototype residence can be connected to utilities or rely on things such as rainwater harvesting, natural ventilation or solar orientation to reduce energy and water use. Taliesen Mod Fab™ was designed and built by graduate and undergraduate students at the school. Michael P. Johnson was one the faculty members guiding the project. The architect began his practice in Arizona in 1977. Johnson was a professor at the school from 1990 – 1997. “I choose CaesarStone for all of my projects,” said Johnson. I like solid colors without variation as well as the size the slabs of material come in.” Wright formally initiated the School of Architecture in 1932, when 23 apprentices came to live and learn at Taliesen. He purchased land in Scottsdale and, in 1937 began construction of a new kind of desert architecture at Taliesen West. After Wright’s death an architectural firm was incorporated to continue the practice and to mentor the apprentices.
