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.

Exterior Details

Prairie homes are designed with hip roofs on each side; you won't see any gables on these home plans. Overhanging eaves are also a common feature, including low terraces and outreaching walls. Brick, stone and vinyl or wood siding are often used on the exterior, which may feature mixed materials such as brick and siding on the facade. Other common exterior features include:

• Vertical bands of windows
• Low chimneys
• Covered front entrances
• Covered back porches

Interior Details

The interior home plans have wide-open living areas with separate spaces for dining and relaxing. The great room is open to the kitchen; however, some home plans have dens that are located off the foyer and adjacent to the great room. A few plans have dedicated computer areas whereas others have breakfast nooks. Some common interior features include:

• Built-in shelves
• Wooden mantles and stone fireplaces
• Wood-trimmed windows
• A buffet area
