prairie style
Low-roofed American design
Prairie style is an architectural movement originating in the American Midwest around 1900, characterized by low horizontal lines, flat or hipped roofs with broad overhanging eaves, and integration with the surrounding landscape.
Frank Lloyd Wright was its foremost practitioner.
The style emphasizes open floor plans and natural materials: a prairie style home with bands of windows and earth-toned brick.
