Frank Lloyd Wright’s Sullivan Summer House – 1890. Wright’s architectural education consisted almost entirely of the years he spent working in the Chicago office of Louis Sullivan. Several of the residential commissions that came into that office landed on Wright’s desk while Sullivan remained focused on his seminal skyscraper designs. Sullivan was so confident in young Wright’s abilities that he turned over the design of his own summer house to the young man. What you see here is the result, a spacious, ground hugging, gable roofed design with a porch stretching its full length and either end anchored by chimneys. Sadly the home was completely destroyed during Hurricane Katrina. As a work of art these prints are worth purchasing in their own right. For those of you interested in building a historically inspired house, these plans offer an excellent starting point. Outside dimensions are approximately 57′ x 72′.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING TO BUILD: These plans are NOT complete architectural drawings as might be required by your local permitting agency and do not contain all the structural, waterproofing and other details and information necessary for construction. But your local builder or architect should be able to adapt these drawings and add to them as necessary. What they do provide is accurate design information about a REAL Modernist home, not a pseudo-Modern tract house as you will find in the house plan magazines on your supermarket shelf.
