This expansive, two-story, 6,300-square-foot Traditional Prairie home, built by Thomas Sattler Homes, is located in The Preserve at Greenwood Village. A unique feature of the design is the combination of flat and extended roofing with multiple layers, creating an intriguing geometric silhouette characteristic of the Traditional Prairie style. The house incorporates a mix of materials, including stone and wood siding, adding texture and depth to its appearance. This design is as beautiful as the Colorado sunset behind it.

Traditional Prairie

Emerging from the Chicago area around the early 1900’s, the Prairie style movement of architecture was founded and popularized by Frank Lloyd Wright after he published building plans entitled “A House in a Prairie Town”. Drawing inspiration from the Arts & Crafts era, this style of architecture uses common modern elements such as wide overhangs, low or flat cantilevered roofs, groupings of vertically proportioned windows, and incorporated built-in handmade craftsmanship throughout. These homes were thought to be “married to the ground” and compliment the long, low landscape of the Midwest.
