Sunset Hills Homes & Architecture

Known for having one of the highest concentrations of mid-century modern residential architecture in Madison, Sunset Hills includes several examples of homes by prominent area architects. Arguably the most sought-after homes in Sunset Hills are the ones built by renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright and his esteemed colleagues at Taliesen. The International Style and “Wright-inspired” homes of Sunset Hills were mostly built in the mid-fifties and 1960’s with the idea in mind that natural building materials would respect--and best preserve--the topography of the land. Sunset Hills residents proudly continue this tradition with thoughtful updates that preserve the integrity of their homes and the surrounding architecture in the neighborhood. The neighborhood is said to be a candidate for local, even national, historic heritage status.
