    Default FLW's Ennis house

    An extremely famous design, which is also my favorite domestic design, it was used in the film Blade Runner, and was Angel's mansion in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

    Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis house:

    The design is based on ancient Mayan temples and along with other buildings by Frank Lloyd Wright, such as the A. D. German Warehouse in Wisconsin and Aline Barnsdall Hollyhock House in Hollywood, the Ennis House is sometimes referred to as an example of the Mayan Revival architecture. Its prominent detail is the relief ornamentation on its textile blocks, inspired by the symmetrical reliefs of Mayan buildings in Uxmal.

    Is the place still on the market? About a year ago they were selling it for $15 million.
