Frank Lloyd Wright was an architect who did commercial designs but focused on residential homes. He developed an "American" architecture but called his personal style of architecture "Prairie Style". Wright's color pallet was derived from indigenous plants within the Midwest. The exterior of his Prairie style designs had a hipped roof and strong horizontal profile. He used horizontal bricks, concrete slabs, and other materials to emphasize this design. His goal was integrate the house, material and landscape. The interior of his homes focused on the family. The fireplaces was always the center of the home. Other characteristics included built in furniture, stained glass windows and unique light fixtures. He would often design unique furniture and light fixtures for each of the homes he designed for the home owner.
