About

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Michigan State University art professors Alma Goetsch and Kathrine Winckler, the Goetsch–Winckler house is Wright’s second Usonian home design and was the only structure built as part of a larger planned Usonian community in East Lansing, Michigan.

Situated atop a small hill in a quiet neighborhood, the house’s daring carport cantilever leads one alongside a series of French doors to the main entry. Inside, the home opens into an expansive studio-living space with a wall of windows that look across a wooded ravine.

This compact, single-story home embodies Wright’s signature Usonian principles, featuring an organic connection to the surrounding landscape, use of natural materials, accentuated use of horizontal lines, and open planning with simple massing, allowing this relatively small house feel incredibly spacious.

Often considered one of Wright’s most elegant Usonian homes in both form and function, the Goetsch–Winckler house is a quintessential example of Wright’s vision for decentralized, affordable, and harmonious American living—it was also reportedly his “favorite small house.”

Today, the home is more accessible than ever before. Free public tours are hosted monthly, and overnight stays are offered to architecture enthusiasts who want to experience Wright’s vision for Usonia more intimately.

Hi! We’re Nate and Austin, and we’re the careful caretakers of the Goetsch–Winckler house.

We realize just how fortunate we are to own this amazing home and, if you’ve met us, you know we love nothing more than sharing this incredible work of art with others. In just our first year of owning the home, we’ve given free tours to over 200 wonderful visitors!

Our goal is to continue sharing the Goetsch–Winckler House with the community through student art shows, college and grade school tours, en plein air painting, musical performances, book readings, more free tours, and other events that both inspire and educate thanks to Frank Lloyd Wright’s extraordinary marriage of art and architecture.

Offering stays at the home gives architecture enthusiasts (like you!) the opportunity to experience a rare slice of Wright’s vision for Usonia, while also financially supporting our larger vision. Your booking will directly contribute to keeping the costs for these events as low as possible while also helping subsidize the very real costs of preserving and restoring this unique structure.
