It seems to me extremely dubious to be constructing buildings based on drawings by Wright as if these are actually Wright's works.
Art, not unlike raising children, ... may entail much sacrifice and periods of despair, but, with luck, the effort will produce something that outlives you.
Wright was notoriously ingenious about changing his designs in the process, and these drawings cannot be said to represent anything but one stage in the concept of a design by Wright.
