The Norman Lykes House, located in the Biltmore Area of Phoenix, Arizona, is a circular residence designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1959 and completed in 1967 by John Rattenbury of Taliesin Associated Architects. The two-story organic structure occupies 1⅓ acres on a mountain slope and comprises a circular main section, curved wing, and curved courtyard—one of only fourteen circular homes Wright designed and one of six in the Phoenix area. Its rose-tinted concrete facade features steel casement windows and geometric cutouts, while the 3,095-square-foot interior contains living spaces on the main level, an entertainment room in the basement, and three bedrooms upstairs. Originally built with five bedrooms, the house was renovated in the early 1990s to combine them into three after Linda Melton purchased it.
