Architect- ๐ฑ๐๐๐๐ ๐ท๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ (FRANK LYOD WRIGHT)
Designed and built between 1908-1910, the Robie House for client Frederick C. Robieย
Wright's work redefined American housing with the Prairie style home.ย
According to Wright, "The prairie has a beauty of its own and we should recognize and accentuateย this natural beauty, its quiet level. Hence, gently sloping roofs, low proportions, quiet sky lines, supressed heavy-set chimneys and sheltering overhangs, low terraces and out-reaching walls sequestering private gardens."
The Robie House creates a clever arrangement of public and private spaces, slowly distancing itself from the street in a series of horizontal planes.
The entrance of the house is not clearly distinguishable at first glance due to the fact thatย Wright believed the procession towards the house should involve a journey.
The program of the house includes a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, a billiards room, four bedrooms, and a servant's wing which are defined while still flowing into one another.
The entire house is sheathed in Roman brick with yellow mortar, and only theย overhangs and the floating brick balcony have steelย beamsย for structural support.
We at lnEx DESIGNS strive to create a unique blend of character, feeling, and aura that compliments our clientโs vision and internal world.
