Love FLW’s prairie style, I think he has had the biggest influence on what I like in a home than any other designer.
Have never toured one, but studied his homes in detail back in my 20s.
I guess they are just borderline homes, but two of my favorite places that were actually residences at one point are:
San Simeon: it is very ornate which is typically not my style, but it really works here. And the vistas and surrounding countryside just set it off spectacularly. We love this place.
Versailles: I had expected to like the chateau (which I did), but what surprised me is how much of an impression the surrounding gardens left on me. Another thing that I think about often: the king’s bedroom was right off the grand hall which struck me as odd, except that he was bedridden alot so this facilitated conducting business when dignitaries visited. Additionally, he could get out of bed, walk across the grand hall, and look out the huge windows at the sweeping vistas across his kingdom. Standing there in person, I was taken back 300 years and was king if but for a second.
