The Turkel House: Join us for an evening of architecture, music and design!

Please join our hosts and homeowners, Norm Silk and Dale Morgan, for a special evening celebrating architecture, landscape, and the enduring legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright.

Enjoy a lovely selection of hors d’oeuvres, hand-selected wines and beverages along with a silent auction. The Ben Dannug Trio will set the tone of this special evening for Deco Society members.

Guests will experience the home’s remarkable music room — a soaring central living space with 15-foot ceilings, pierced concrete blocks set with glass, polished concrete floors, and restored Philippine mahogany built-ins — along with a thoughtfully reimagined garden inspired by Wright’s belief that the garden was “the most important room of the house.”

Once an overgrown lot, the landscape has been transformed into an elegant extension of the home, with a sculpture courtyard, naturalized perennial gardens, Annabelle hydrangeas, a winding gravel drive, and a terrace with water feature that reflects Wright’s organic principles of bringing indoors and outdoors together.

We are pleased to welcome Richard Hass, who will join us for a thoughtful discussion on Wright’s ideas of “The Living City,” the relationship between city and suburb, and the continuing relevance of his work in Detroit’s urban landscape.

Join us for an intimate evening of design, dialogue, and discovery.

Tickets: $125 for members and $150 for non-members.

Proceeds from this event benefit the Detroit Area Art Deco Society’s scholarship program.
