Prairie House
http://www.workshopapd.com/project/94?sort=position

These newly retired clients were looking to build a long-lasting, eco-friendly home that fit their lifestyle and budget. By implementing some of the owners’ existing items with fresh concepts and environmentally conscious strategies and material selections, workshop created a structure that exceeded all expectations. The building is oriented toward a large backyard and the interior was kept white to maximize light and flow and to support the owner’s art collection. Although one of a kind in this suburban residential neighborhood, the home does not clash with its surroundings. This house is striking in its simplicity and allows for comfortable living and entertaining, a request made by the owners at the beginning of design.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
Another view shows this house straddling the two approaches I presented here: It both roots itself with the wood cladding and stands out from the natural surroundings with the corrugated metal siding that is perpendicular to it. The rock garden is certainly a unique touch, something transplanted from elsewhere but nevertheless appropriate with the simple, modern forms.More regional modern architecture:Boston | Chicago | Austin | NYC | Seattle | Oregon | No. Calif. | San Francisco | L.A. | Coastal L.A.Next: More Inspiring ArchitectureModern vs. Contemporary: What's the Difference?
