Wright returned to Los Angeles in 1956 to work for his father&rsquo;s studio but did not earn an architectural license until 1967, according to his biography on the Foundation&rsquo;s <a href="https://savewright.org/in-memoriam-eric-lloyd-wright/" target="_blank">Memoriam</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p>It was in Malibu in 1978 that Wright began his own practice, Eric Lloyd Wright &amp; Associates Architecture &amp; Planning. From there, his firm went on to become a fixture in the myriad restoration projects of his father and grandfather&rsquo;s original designs, including the <a href="https://archinect.com/news/tag/18984/ennis-house" target="_blank">Ennis House</a>, South Carolina&rsquo;s Auldbrass Plantation, and the Storer House in Los Angeles.&nbsp;</p> <figure><p><a href="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/79/7963087211129d84c50a152bd58b5f9c.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;enlarge=true&amp;w=1028" target="_blank"><img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/79/7963087211129d84c50a152bd58b5f9c.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&amp;enlarge=true&amp;w=514"></a></p><figcaption>The Ennis House.
