Hmm, would I rather design a house inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie and Usonian styles with some Art Deco accents, or Tudor Revival with Dark Academia and Dieselpunk inspired interior? As a dieselpunk, I'm torn between something that was completely new in the 1930s and within those themes, and someone that is much more common within the setting and layered in the progression of styles.

The American Prairie Style (1900-1920) can be classified as a sub-style of the larger Arts and Crafts (“Craftsman”) style architecture. In fact, the Foursquare house is said to be the earliest manifestation of the Prairie Style at the turn of the 20th-century. The style is also known as Prairie School Architecture.The Prairie house is one of the truly vernacular American styles, such as the Stick Style, or the American Octagon. The name is a reference to the stereotypical image of the Midwest prairie: wide, flat, horizontal, uninterrupted expanses of land extending to the horizon.The early work of Frank Lloyd Wright, once he left the office of mentor Louis Sullivan, is in this style and he is the acknowledged master of the Prairie house. But some scholars attribute the genesis of this new organic and freer American architecture to Sullivan.

Unity Temple

Unity Temple in Oak Park, Illinois, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and constructed 1905-1908, is the only remaining public building from Wright's Prairie Style period. It is both a National Register of Historic Places and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Wright designed two separate high, skylit spaces—one for worship, Unity Temple, and one for the congregation’s social gatherings, Unity House—connected by a low, central entrance hall. The temple’s plan was a perfect square, creating a wonderful sense of unity and allowing up to 400 congregants to be within 40 feet of the pulpit. Surrounded on all four sides by depressed cloisters, the auditorium floor gives the visitor the sense that they are floating or on a mountaintop. This feeling imparts the space with a spiritual power that feels at once intimate and immense. Wright would later claim that building Unity Temple made him realize that the real heart of a building is its space, not its walls. https://franklloydwright.org/site/unity-temple/

The original budget for the building was $45,000, although its final cost was about $80,000. Constructed of poured-in-place concrete, the cost could be kept than other building methods, with the same forms repeated throughout the structure. The temple appeared starkly different from traditional churches, both in its construction and its lack of traditional bell tower, cruciform plan, or front entrance. In addition, the interior is illuminated by clerestory windows and skylights, its thick walls insulating the interior from street noise and creating an indirect, soft natural lighting.

I toured the building on a Saturday morning, with an audio recording,, captivated by its interior spaces. As in many Wright buildings, the entrance and transitional spaces featured low ceilings, before opening into the two public spaces, the sanctuary and Unity House, a social gathering space.

As I sat in the silence of the sanctuary, I marveled at the compact yet complicated space, arranged on several levels, and lit by clerestory windows and stained-glass skylights. It seemed about as perfect a space as I had ever been in. Earth tones on the walls and simple oak trim enhanced the organic, "natural" feel of the place.

After touring the temple and eating lunch, I wandered up Forest Avenue past several Wright-designed houses, and reached Wright's home and studio, which I had previously toured.
