Prairie Style — style reimagining

Style

Prairie Style

Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright, Vinci | Hamp Architects, John Eifler· no affiliation

Wright lineage Midwest — cantilevered eaves, art glass, oak ribbon trim, low horizon.

• Cantilevered eaves — minimum 4-foot overhang, broad and horizontal, casting deep shadow lines.
• Low-slope hipped or flat roof — never pitched gable, never composite shingle.
• Roman brick (long, thin proportions) at the base; horizontal oak banding above.
• Ribbon windows — long horizontal bands of casement windows with art-glass leaded panels.

Scope

Light remodel

New paint, siding, roof, and finishes — the structure stays put.

Replace the exterior materials in the chosen style while keeping every structural element exactly. Best for solid bones with dated finishes. This is what most renovations call 'a refresh.'

Typical cost

$150K–400K
