Description
Exterior view of the Goetsch-Winckler house in Okemos, Michigan designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and completed in 1940, with carport in foreground. "It is a modest, one-story Usonian house with a strong horizontal emphasis due in part to the stepped eaves and extreme cantilever of the roof over the carport. The house is oriented east-southeast to west-northwest and its plan is arranged to provide maximum privacy as well as a free-flowing interplay of nature and building ... Constructed during the summer of 1940 at a cost of nearly $6,600, the Goetsch-Winckler House is a modest, one-story Usonian house that embodies trademark Frank Lloyd Wright design elements such as: organic relationship to the site, horizontal planes, cantilever roofs, and innovative construction techniques,"--Michigan Modern website.
