Usonian house
Also called Usonian
Wright’s modest single-storey houses of 1936 onward: a masonry core, an open living space, floor heating, few materials and no attic or basement.
Rules that use the word
The Usonian house. Build the family house on one level on a heated concrete slab, on a planning grid, round a brick core of hearth and kitchen; wall it in wood towards the street and in glass towards the garden; roof it flat with deep eaves, and shelter the car in a carport instead of a garage.
