Preliminary Design Concept for a new Prairie Style Home
Location: Located on a quiet tree lined residential street in the center of town just steps from the Prairie Path, walking distance to Downtown Elmhurst City Centre, the Metra Train Station, Library, Parks, Museums, Shopping and Restaurants.
Description: Opportunity to work with West Studio in designing your dream home. Illustrated is an example for a home design that favors quality of space and design over quantity of space and sheer square footage.

- Four to five bedrooms and three to four bathrooms
- Formal or casual living/family and dining space.
- Gourmet kitchen with walk-in pantry, island and eating area.

- Front outdoor terrace and back yard patio.
- Convenient rear mud room entrance.
- Cantilevered porte-cochere.
- Two to three-car garage.
- One or more fireplaces.
- Abundance of built-in opportunities.

Prairie Architect - WEST STUDIO 
Your designs are beautiful, combining aspects of all the Prairie Pioneers; Wright, VanBergen, Griffin etc. We have plans to build our retirement home in the Prairie, Craftsman style in NC within the next few years on our lakefront lot. Would love to see some floor plans and more sketches if you have them Thanks for your cooperation and for carrying these classic and sadly dying designs into the present day. Kevin
