The prairie home style was popularized by Frank Lloyd Wright in the early 1900s. This architectural form’s heyday lasted less than two decades and most homes of this style were built in the Midwest. Because of these factors ,there are very few prairie style homes in the Pacific Northwest which makes this home by the Kirkland home designers at Gelotte Hommas even more unique.
At first glance this home may not be as impressive as some, but that is by design. The short walls and horizontal lines of a prairie home are meant to evoke the simplistic beauty of the prairie landscape. An open floor plan and ample number of windows let in the light and views of nature. The goal of a prairie home is to be elegant, not ostentatious, while mimicking the colors and feeling of the landscape.
