Turkel House
Detroit, MI
About
This Open Day is presented in partnership with Oudolf Garden Detroit.
The Turkel House in Detroit is the largest example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s final architectural style, Usonian Automatic, designed in 1955. The house was purchased in 2006 by florists Norman Silk and Dale Morgan, who undertook much- needed restoration work on the house with a former Wright apprentice.
After completing an award-winning restoration of the house, Dale and Norman turned their attention to the garden.
They hired landscape architect Richard Hass, who took as his starting point Wright’s belief that the garden is the most important room of the house. Richard’s design, totaling approximately 1-1/2 acres, contains four separate areas—meadow, woods, sculpture courtyard, and a terrace.
