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
