Frank Lloyd Wright Home & Studio
Wright's Prairie style of architecure found its earliest expression right here in his own home. The strong geometrical forms, horizontal planes, and environmental harmony that characterize his work are seen in both his home (1889) and studio (1898), where he completed a quarter of his life's work. Wright used his residence as something of an architectural laboratory, as he experimented with design ideas that evolved into characteristic features of the Prarie style.
