Frank Lloyd Wright
1909
| This "Prairie style" house has overhanging cantilevered roofs which extend beyond the walls. The house is adjusted to the natural environment, though not as spectacularly as the Kaufmann House since its site is urban. Strip windows (in fact a wall of windows in the living room) open the rooms up to nature as well. | ||

Like the entrance to many of Wright's houses, this one is concealed--around to the back actually. One enters on the ground floor (with a low ceiling) and walks up a flight of stairs to the main living area. |
