TITLE: THE PRAIRIE HORIZON RESIDENCE.
This residential project is a masterful reinterpretation of the Prairie School architectural style, thoughtfully designed for a compact urban plot measuring 35 by 90 feet. The design maximizes space, light, and ventilation across three distinct exposures, creating a feeling of expansive living within an efficient footprint.
The home is organized over two primary levels, beginning with a grounded living space at the Ground Level that integrates daily life with practical function. It features a dedicated living room, a dining area flowing into a modern kitchen, a convenient bedroom, a shared washroom, and ample storage. The inclusion of three sheds creates valuable covered outdoor spaces, seamlessly extending the living area.
Ascending to the First Floor, the residence transitions into a private sanctuary. This level is dedicated to rest and family, featuring a second living room, a self-contained master bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and a shared washroom. Three strategically placed balconies further blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, offering private retreats and promoting natural cross-ventilation.
Architecturally, the home is distinguished by its advanced Prairie-style elements, including strong horizontal lines, unique window designs, and high ceilings throughout that enhance the sense of airy openness. The hybrid roof system a combination of a graceful hipped roof and a functional flat roof section for utilities presents a modern, streamlined silhouette.
This project represents a sophisticated fusion of timeless architectural principles with contemporary living needs, resulting in a efficient, comfortable, and visually striking family home.
