The building presented showcases a vivid example of the Prairie School architectural style, developed by Frank Lloyd Wright at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries. The facade is characterized by horizontal lines emphasizing the connection with the earth – a typical feature of this style. Note the expressive wide roof overhangs with their characteristic low pitch, creating a sense of shelter and protection.
The facade composition is built on the contrast of materials: the lower part is made of sandy-colored brickwork with horizontal light bands, while the upper part presents a combination of dark wood and light stucco. Windows are organized in horizontal rows with decorative elements typical for the Prairie style – geometric stained glass inserts create a warm glow in the evening.
The architectural volume of the building is asymmetrical, with protruding elements and various roof levels, which gives dynamism to the entire composition. The landscape design with neatly trimmed yellow chrysanthemums along the facade complements the architectural ensemble, emphasizing the horizontal lines of the building.
When designing your own house, you can use similar techniques: pronounced horizontal lines, wide roof overhangs, combination of different materials, carefully crafted window proportions, and integration of landscape design that emphasizes the architectural concept.
