Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Bachman-Wilson home design (and featured in the Wall Street Journal), Lindal’s Crystal Springs Usonian home style stacks two bedrooms above the kitchen/dining/utility core, giving the living room a generous double-height ceiling with a wall of glass on the view side that makes the home seem larger. The utility core allows for a varied circulation pattern and direct access to the kitchen from the entry. The upper mezzanine wraps around the hearth, overlooking the living room, and can be used as a study.
In modernizing this design, we moved the primary bedroom suite to the main floor and also tucked it into a private wing with access to the outdoors. Deep overhangs shade the house from the summer sun and add to the horizontality of the design. The varied roof elevations and balcony create a harmonious exterior. Plenty of natural light enters from a wall of windows in the great room.
