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. \ \ See Further Description Below

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.

*Alternate Foundations may take time to prepare.

*Options with a fee may take time to prepare. Please call to confirm.
