The American System-Built Houses, Model D101 is one of the designs Frank Lloyd Wright developed for the American System-Built Homes Company, a venture aimed at producing standardized, prefabricated houses in the early 1910s. Wright's goal was to make good design affordable to ordinary families by building houses from factory-cut parts that could be assembled on site quickly and cheaply. The effort is often seen as an early attempt at the mass-produced, modular housing that became common later in the century. Although the company struggled and few of these houses were built, the D101 shows Wright's core ideas of open interior space, horizontal lines and strong ties to the landscape, adapted to a system of repeatable components.
