Join AIA Milwaukee and CRAN for an exclusive tour of a stunning Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired residence in Bay View.

This unique event offers an opportunity to explore a nearly completed custom home and learn about the design principles, construction strategies, and collaborative process that brought this remarkable project to life.
