The Darwin D. Martin sits in a beautiful neighborhood called Parkside. As you make your way through Parkside, you pass hundreds of beautiful old homes. The Darwin D. Martin house is a radical deviation from the rest of the neighborhood, a neighborhood filled with Victorian and shingle style homes. The home is a perfect example of Frank Lloyd Wright’s prairie style; it’s characterized by low, horizontal lines that intend to blend the building in with its flat landscape.

Today, clients look for a very diverse range of amenities in their homes; fitness centers, wine cellars, home theaters, spas and even golf simulators. Of all the things that clients tend to look for, a conservatory is rarely on the top of the list, let alone on the list at all. Perhaps the idea of a home conservatory, or greenhouse, is an antiquated concept.
