Frank Lloyd Wright‘s midcentury modern designs are back, and now you can own a piece of architectural history with Lindal Cedar Homes’ easy-to-assemble Usonian house kits. Lindal Cedar Homes, a Seattle-based company, partnered with the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation in 2018 to create the Lindal Imagine Series, which offers house kits inspired by Wright’s iconic Usonian homes. The concept has proven popular. According to Lindal Cedar Homes, they’ve sold ten Wright-inspired kits so far, with four already completed.

the lindal imagine series: nine housing types
Lindal Cedar Homes‘ Imagine Series carries the torch of Wright’s Usonian vision. Designed in the 1930s, Wright’s Usonian homes were a response to the economic hardship of the Great Depression. These homes emphasized affordability, quick construction, and a connection to nature. Common features included natural materials, open floor plans, and expansive overhanging roofs.
The company offers nine kit options ranging from compact 900-square-foot dwellings to sprawling 3,000-square-foot estates. Each design embodies Wright’s core principles, including open layouts and broad indoor-outdoor living spaces. For instance, The Madison, a two-bedroom, two-bathroom kit measuring 1,603 square feet, draws inspiration from Jacobs 1, the very first Usonian home designed by Wright.
