Pleasanton Prairie
The Pleasanton Prairie project is a clear homage to the principles of Prairie School architecture, heavily influenced by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. This custom residence features strong horizontal lines, low-pitched roofs with broad, deep overhangs, and a clear emphasis on integrating the structure with its landscape. The design utilizes a consistent and natural material palette, typically featuring plaster, stone, and stained wood, creating a grounded, earthy aesthetic.
The internal spaces are characterized by an open-plan layout centered around a prominent fireplace, with banded windows maximizing light while maintaining privacy. The design prioritizes internal flow and a sense of calm, structured elegance. This is a sophisticated example of regional architecture, translating the classic Prairie Style for modern living with a focus on craftsmanship, materiality, and harmoniously connecting the home to its immediate surroundings.
