Isabel Roberts House

The Isabel Roberts House displays horizontal lines, flat roofs with extended eaves, and bands of windows reflecting the American Midwest landscape design principles.

Frank Lloyd Wright designed this house in the early 1900s during the emergence of Prairie School architecture, marking a shift from classical European architectural styles.

The residence incorporates natural materials and built-in furniture elements that demonstrate the influence of the Arts and Crafts Movement on American residential architecture.

The house features open floor plans and large windows that maximize natural light, creating functional living spaces aligned with modern residential requirements.

Isabel Roberts, both the client and an architect herself, collaborated with Wright on the design, incorporating her own architectural expertise into the final structure.
