HISTORY: This is one of Frank Lloyd Wright's early modern designs, of the type that he referred to as Usonian. This example is executed in brick and beautifully detailed wood. It seamlessly blends into the landscape, incorporating small level changes in the interior.
As a work of art these prints are worth purchasing in their own right. For those of you interested in building a historically inspired house, these plans offer an excellent starting point. The plan is ideally suited for a moderately sloping site but could be adapted to both flat and steep sloping sites. This house would be comfortable in a suburban or country setting. This spacious home has outside dimensions of approximately 58' x 70' plus terraces.
SHIPPING: Your drawings are shipped to you, rolled, not folded, in a Priority Mail tube. This listing includes architectural prints ONLY. Any photos shown in the description are for information only and are NOT included in your purchase. Thanks.
IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BUILD: These plans are not complete architectural drawings as might be required by your local permitting agency and do not contain all the structural, waterproofing and other details and information necessary for construction. But your local builder or architect should be able to adapt these drawings and add to them as necessary. What they do provide is accurate design information about a REAL historic house, not a pseudo-historic tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf
