Manitoga-The Russel Wright Design Center
Manitoga-The Russel Wright Design Center Review
Nature and art blend seamlessly throughout the home, studio, and 75-acre grounds of mid-20th-century industrial designer Russel Wright. Boulders protrude through the ground floor of Dragon Rock, Wright's experimental home that was named a National Historic Landmark in 2006. It is built on a rock ledge and spans 11 levels; fist-size stones serve as door handles. Four miles of paths weave through a landscape that appears natural but is actually a studied design of native trees, rocks, mosses, and wildflowers. Daily 90-minute tours take in the buildings and woodlands (wear comfortable walking shoes).
