Realtor.com

At the moment, there is only one Wright-designed home available in the country. Located in Central California, it’s listed for $4,250,000.

But if you’re interested in a home built by one of Wright’s students, you’re in luck. His students have spread out across the U.S. and created some swell dwellings.

We found five homes that were designed (or claim to have been done) by architects Wright mentored. See if you can spot some of Wright’s signature elements in these unusual abodes.

‘We’re Going Bigger Than Ever’: Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall Come Together for a Final ‘Flip or Flop’

HGTV

For those of you who thought you’d seen the last of Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall working together on “Flip or Flop,” surprise—they’re back!

These two have returned for one more episode, titled “Flip or Flop: The Final Flip,” where they renovate a four-bedroom, three-bathroom, 2200-square-foot house in Sunset Beach, CA. They’d bought this property way back in 2020 for $925,000, figuring they could spend $200,000 to renovate it, and then sell it for about $1.5 million.

But that was two years, a bitter breakup, and a few new reality shows and spouses ago.

While they congenially worked together on the flip itself, it was not lost on us that they didn’t appear together in the interviews and commentary on the project. They spoke separately about everything they learned on the show over the past 10 years.
