Wright came to California as a landscape architect, trained by the Olmsted brothers and put to work at the San Diego World's Fair of 1915. In the mid-1910s, his father delegated many of the responsibilities for designing the Aline Barnsdall Hollyhock House in Hollywood, California, the first California project of the elder Wright, to him. (Lloyd Wright would later supervise the 1946 renovation of the Hollyhock House when it was converted into a USO facility.) In 1923 he served as his father's construction manager for four simultaneous, difficult Los Angeles-area projects: La Miniatura in Pasadena, the Storer House, the Ennis House, and the Freeman House.

He is also well known as the designer of the second and third shells at Hollywood Bowl. The original shell, built by a group known as the Allied Architects as part of the 1926 regrade of the Bowl, was considered unacceptable both visually and acoustically. Wright's 1927 shell had a pyramidal shape, and a design reminiscent of Southwest American Indian architecture. (According to Charles Moore, it was a leftover from Wright's sets for the silent film version of Robin Hood.) Its acoustics were generally regarded as the best of any shell in Bowl history, but its appearance was considered too avant garde for its time, or perhaps only ugly, and it was demolished at the end of the season. His 1928 shell had the now-familiar concentric ring motif, but it was made of wood, covered a 120-degree arc, and was designed to be easily dismantled and stored between seasons. It was left out in the rain after one season, and rotted, making way for the 1929 Allied Architects shell, which stood until the end of the 2003 season.
