[MOC] Usonian Style House

[Lankygit]

I actually built his MOC towards the end of the summer, but I have only just found the time to document it. It is a small building built to the Usonian Style.

The Usonian Style House was first designed in mid thirties by American Architect Frank Llloyd Wright. They were designed to control costs during the economic depression, Wrights Usonian houses had no attics, no basements, little ornamentation and utilised open plan living.

I hope you like my attempt, more images on my Flickr.

Thats a nice little house. I really like the way you built the roof.

I think you did a great job. It looks lovely. My favourite details is the brick-built support at the entrance. Was it standard to have skylights in this type of buildings?

[Lankygit]

I am not sure if Skylights would have been included in such a building given the aim of keeping costs low. I added them to shed some light on the interior. It was definitely fun to build.

Wow! This is really cool!

Nice work, Particularly like the way the sloping roof looks. Trees a cracking effort too.

That's really nice!! I especially like the way you've used tiles on the roof and the design of the interior details/furniture suit the basic design idea behind the original. Also, I had no idea what Usonian style was until I read this so I've learnt something!!

Thanks for sharing!!!
