This modern prairie style 2-story home gallery and plans is provided by Architectural Designs.

In order to come up with the very specific design ideas, we create most designs with the assistance of state-of-the-art AI interior design software.

Square feet totals just over 5,000 among 3 floors of living space. The third floor is a tiny 152 square loft; most of the living space is allocated to the 2 floors. There are four bedrooms and bathrooms.

The jewel of this home is the 2-story great room with large floor-to-ceiling window. The 3-car garage is attached to the home and as you can see from the image below, the home backs onto a large green space.
