Prairie-style Hood River Accomodates a Sloped Lot

Featured House Plan of the Week, Prairie Style House Plan, Home Plan, Hood River 30-947

Bold stone-veneer columns frame the Hood River’s lofty entry. Built on a rear downhill slope, this home is larger than it looks, thanks to the daylight basement.

Its low-pitched hipped roof and widely overhanging eaves lends to the Prairie-style feel. Frank Lloyd Wright created the style in Chicago in the early 1900s.

High ceilings overarch the living spaces, from the entry through the center to the rear. Entry and foyer ceilings are 13 feet high, and the vaulted ceiling in the expansive great room soars to even heigher. Stacked windows, angling to a low-pitched central peak, fill most of the rear wall. The gas fireplace can be enjoyed in both the dining and great room.

 A drop in ceiling height indicates the transition between the great room and the kitchen and dining area. A curved work island/eating bar is at the kitchen’s center. Counters, cabinets and appliances are along the walls on two sides. A sliding glass door opens onto a covered deck.

This design has a passageway off of the great room that leads into a short hallway. The owners’ suite is at one end, storage and a utility room at the other. In the owners’ suite, a large walk-in closet is reached through the two-section bathroom.

The den just inside the front door is in an ideal location for a home office. A few steps further through the foyer, are the stairs down to the daylight basement. At the bottom of the stairs, is a large family room, where natural light streams in through wide windows at the rear, and sliding glass doors open onto a covered patio. 

Two bedrooms and a bathroom are down the hall.
