Robie House, Frank Lloyd Wright (1909)
              His stereotypical prairie house.                Horizontality and the streamlined brick flow encourges the building to float on the land. Insides open plan format, centred around the large hearth create a sensual place. Horizontality is again forced through the glass windows in the central living room.
