Prairie Style Home


Prairie Home Plans

The Prairie Style Home is truly and completely an American architectural style.

Created and most popularized by the works of Frank Lloyd Wright
, there are many more architects that have since brought us their own interpretation of the Prairie Style Home.

Mr. Wright believed that homes should be more open and less square, as well as melded into its surrounding environment.

Take a look at the famous "Fallingwater" as an excellent example of his combining a home within its surroundings:

For a great Prairie Home Style example, see: Fallingwater

In the beginning of the 20th century this style was flourishing and only a few short years later, this style began to evolve.



The Arts and Crafts movement brought ideas for both the American Four-Square and Craftsman style homes, which were both derivatives from the Prairie Style home.

If you are intrigued by this style, The Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture continues to give us brilliantly trained architects.

For more information about the school: Go to: http://www.taliesin.edu/

If you are wondering what type of furnishings go with this style of home, the "Mission" style furniture was designed specifically for the "Prairie Style" and goes suitably with all other related styles as well.
