Few of the structures built by Frank Lloyd Wright during his historic career exemplify his relentless pursuit of beauty better than his Usonian houses. Wright created the Usonian design philosophy to demonstrate that a practical and affordable house can still be a beautiful one. He brought best-in-class architecture to the middle class when he built his first Usonian house at the age of 71.

Wright sought harmony between form and function, natural and artificial construction, and positive and negative space. The perforated panels that adorn the windows and skylights of these Usonian houses have become symbols of his unique design approach.
