Prairie House Plan Features
Low Pitched Roof
Prairie style house plans were designed to blend in with the landscape which is why the exterior façade is often made up of light colored stucco, brick or concrete block accented with contrasting wood between stories. These handsome two-story homes with one story wings and/or heavy-columned porches combined wide overhanging eaves have a very low-to-the-ground horizontal appearance emphasizing their low-pitched roof.
Dramatic Expanses of Windows
Beneath their low, broad roofs, the homes are lit by a series of shimmering ribbon windows with small-diamond or rectangular shaped panes of leaded glass set in geometric patterns or are made of stained glass. Prairie style house plans range in design from square, L-shaped, T-shaped or Y-shaped sharing one commonality, open, airy rooms often divided by leaded glass panels adding to its Modern appeal.
