Deep overhangs, sweeping horizontal lines, and masonry chimney masses recall the Prairie Style, while the material selection and modulation of forms add a modern influence to the composition. The house steps down it's sloped half-acre site to create a full daylight basement with space for informal living spaces grouped to take advantage of the views to the south and west, while the more formal public spaces are located along the open motor court on the opposite side.
