prairie house
Grassland family home
A prairie house is a style of residential architecture developed in the early twentieth century, characterized by horizontal lines, low-pitched roofs, open floor plans, and integration with the surrounding landscape.
The style emerged in the American Midwest, most associated with Frank Lloyd Wright: The prairie house sat low against the flat terrain, its broad eaves echoing the horizon.
