Prairie House Plans

Architectural design evolves naturally over time. Sometimes it's due to a specific need; other times it's to escape certain influences. Prairie-style architecture grew out of a need to separate from the European-style architecture that had dominated the States until the late 1890s. Frank Lloyd Wright is credited for the Prairie School movement, an architectural style that continues to be a popular choice among builders today.

Authentic Prairie Home Designs

Most prairie floor plans have an asymmetrical design with an open interior and long bands of windows. Some house plans feature multi-car garages with two separate doors, which may be arched depending on the style of the home's entrance. These architectural style home plans are available in both one- and two-story versions and may have as many as five bedrooms in some designs.

  • Low chimneys
  • Covered front entrances
  • Covered back porches
