Usonian

Usonian refers to a style of affordable, functional American homes designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1930s and 1940s. The term combines "United States" and "American" to emphasize a uniquely American architectural approach. Usonian homes focused on simplicity, efficient use of materials, open floor plans, flat roofs, and integration with the landscape. They aimed to provide good design at a lower cost, making stylish, well-designed homes accessible to more people. These homes often featured natural materials and built-in furniture, reflecting Wright’s philosophy of harmonizing architecture with everyday life.
