The Lindal Imagine Series
The Lindal Imagine Series consists of respectful modern translations of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian homes. Wright originally designed the Usonian house plans because of his desire to provide affordable custom residences to the middle class. He believed that beautiful architect-designed homes should be available to more than the wealthy, and that living in a beautiful home could positively influence the homeowners.
The compact linear plan of the Lindal Imagine Series Highland Park design is perfectly suited for any size lot, including a small urban infill.
The open floor plan of Mirror Lake is a spacious, livable home in just 1,256 square feet.
Frank Lloyd Wright’s final Usonian design; the Seth Peterson cottage, explored the concept of tiny homes long before it became popular in modern home design. Mirror Lake is a Lindal Imagine Series design inspired by the Seth Peterson Cottage.
There is a dramatic sequence of spaces in the Willoughby; progressing from the entry to the living room as the space opens up to reveal the great room and central fireplace.
The Lindal Imagine Series' Willoughby is translated from Penfield House, one of the few Usonian designs in Frank Lloyd Wright’s career designed for a tall client (6’8″). As such, it forced Wright to move away from the low ceiling heights that characterized many of his other Usonian designs.

The Lindal Imagine Series' Silverton design is the largest home in the Lindal Imagine Series , with four bedrooms and four baths. The design has a great room that extends into the landscape.
The Lindal Imagine Series' Silverton design is translated from the Gordon House, one of the last Usonian designs in Frank Lloyd Wright’s career and a wonderful expression of a two-story Usonian home.
The Lindal Imagine Series' Mesquite is designed in keeping with the classic Usonian layouts that circulate around a central core, creating a cozy space open to the landscape.
The circulation in the Mesquite concept is around the perimeter, minimizing any hallways and unusable spaces.
The Mesquite is a small one-bedroom design that can easily be modified to a two-bedroom layout.
The Lindal Imagine Series' Madison design 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.
Compact yet functional, the Lindal Imagine Series' Madison home is a Usonian design for today’s lifestyle, with both modern amenities and the original features that have stood the test of time.
Deep overhangs shade the Lindal Imagine Series Crystal Springs house from the summer sun and add to the horizontality of the design. Natural light enters from a wall of windows in the great room.
Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Bachman-Wilson home design, Lindal’s Crystal Springs home stacks two bedrooms above the kitchen/dining/utility core, giving the living room a generous double-height ceiling with a wall of glass that makes the home seem larger than its 2,490 square feet.
