Fountainhead is a house at 306 Glenway Drive in Jackson, Mississippi, United States. Designed in the Usonian style by architect Frank Lloyd Wright for the family of the oil businessman J. Willis Hughes, it is arranged in a Y shape and is made of tidewater red cypress, copper, glass, and concrete. The floor plan is arranged around a grid of 30-60-90 triangles, which create a grid of rhombuses. The interior consists of a living-room wing facing northeast, a carport wing facing southeast, and a bedroom wing facing west toward a fountain.
