Text description provided by the architects. Designed and built between 1908-1910, the Robie House for client Frederick C. Robie and his family was one of Wright s earlier projects. Influenced by the flat, expanisve prairie landscape of the American Midwest where he grew up, Wright s work redefined American housing with the Prairie style home.
According to Wright, The prairie has a beauty of its own and we should recognize and accentuate this natural beauty, its quiet level. Hence, gently sloping roofs, low proportions, quiet sky lines, supressed heavy-set chimneys and sheltering overhangs, low terraces and out-reaching walls sequestering private gardens. More on the Robie House after the break.
