Wrights houses were constructed with simple
building materials. Wood looked like wood, and
brick was the color of the clay it was made from.
The natural colors of the building materials
were never hidden under colored paint.

PRAIRIE STYLE
Wright believed the interior and exterior of a
home should go together as well as suiting the
people who would live in the house.
Prairie houses were did not have attics or
basements, which he thought of as storage places
for things that should be thrown away. Without a
basement to separate it from the earth, the
prairie house appeared to be planted in the
ground.
