Description
A UNESCO World Heritage Site
This plan is inspired by Jacobs 1, the first Usonian home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built for Hebert and Katharine Jacobs in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1937.
In 2019, Jacobs 1 was added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in recognition of its seminal impact on the modern residential architectural landscape of U.S. in the 20th century. Jacobs 1 was added along with seven other other iconic Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, among them Fallingwater, the Guggenheim Museum, and Taliesin. A modest, one-story structure, Jacobs 1 nonetheless ushered in a new era of mid-century modern architectural design that was accessible to the booming middle class. The design of Jacobs 1 and other Usonian houses was largely responsible for the proliferation of ranch-style houses across the U.S. during the post-WWII period.
