Prairie Style Floor Plans

A true American style developed by a group of Chicago architects known collectively as the Prairie School led by Frank Lloyd Wright, Prairie style house plans use Japanese architecture, specifically the use of horizontal space, flowing interiors, hipped roofs with broad eaves, and long bands of windows creating geometric patterns. Prairie home designs integrate into the surrounding landscape; existing in harmony with nature. Prairie style homes are designed with masonry piers, a wide porch, a cantilevered floor, stone, wood trim, and/or board and batten. Prairie style home plans are the first American style taken seriously in Europe and still tends to be popular throughout the United States.
