Plan Description
PRAIRIE HOME 454-8. Featured on pages 164 and 172 of Sarah Susanka's
first book, The Not So Big House, the design for this PRAIRIE HOME was
inspired by traditional Japanese Architecture, the same source that
informed the work of Frank Lloyd Wright and the Arts & Crafts Movement
of the early 20th Century. Interestingly, when Sarah designed this house
she had not yet studied Prairie School design, though after the house
was published and a reporter noted the Prairie Style characteristics of
the house, she discovered that the work of Mr. Wright had much to teach
her beyond what she had already learned from Japanese Architecture. Many
of the hallmarks of Prairie School architecture are also features of
this house, from wide, low-pitched roofs with generous overhangs, to
horizontal siding and windows banded together - creating a house that
can live comfortably and easily in the twenty-first century and beyond.
On the interior, there is significant ceiling height variety, and many
continuous trim bands, creating a pattern that is a familiar trademark
of Prairie School design. \

A mirror-reversed set is a printed copy of your house, resulting in the same image you would see if you held the drawing up to a mirror. Everything, including the text, is backward in relation to the original design. These kinds of drawing are typically used to reorient an original plan more advantageously on a site, either because the homeowner prefers it that way or because of limitations of the site itself. Note: Mirror reverse sets are only available with a 5 copy or 8 copy set. With a Reproducible, PDF, or CAD set, you can print mirrored copies locally. In addition: 5 Copy set selected, should only allow 4 mirrored sets to be selected. 8 Copy set selected, should only allow 7 mirrored sets to be selected. |
