Robert and Rae Levin House, Single-family residential architecture in Kalamazoo, United States.
The Robert and Rae Levin House features extensive glass work, textile blocks, and varied ceiling heights that create interconnected interior spaces.
Built in 1949, this residence became the first house constructed in Parkwyn Village, a planned community of Usonian houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
The Levin House emerged from a cooperative community initiative by Upjohn Company employees seeking residential designs without discrimination based on race or religion.
Local college students manufactured over 15,000 textile blocks on-site, incorporating specific patterns and cut-outs to allow natural light penetration.
The original circular lot design for the property changed to rectangular following Federal Housing Administration requirements, leading residents to create natural boundaries with trees.
