Abstract: Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie Style homes, designed across the United States, showcase his unique architectural approach. This study examines how Wright's designs interact with environmental conditions, focusing on privacy in eight Prairie Style homes. Detailed floor plans and architectural evaluations were analyzed using space syntax tools to assess spatial connections. The results show that Wright prioritized bedroom privacy, with lower integration values indicating seclusion. Public areas like living and dining spaces had higher integration values, promoting connectivity. The study confirms that bedrooms in Wright's Prairie Style homes are intentionally designed as private spaces, with some exceptions. These findings highlight the importance of layout morphology in creating private zones within open-plan layouts. This research sheds light on Wright's innovative approach to balancing privacy and openness in residential architecture.
