Custom home with horizontal brick and big windows

MOUNT PLEASANT RESIDENCE

The architectural expression of this two-storey home acknowledges the owner’s admiration for the “Prairie Architecture” of Frank Lloyd Wright. The defining characteristics of this domestic architecture of the early 20th century include its horizontal lines, generous roof overhangs, shallow sloped hipped roofs, and uninterrupted expanses of perimeter windows.

From a landscape perspective, substantial “landscape walls” reinforce the horizontality of the home’s architecture while offering protection from inclement weather and visual privacy from passersby.
