The Walker House was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
It is a late example of a Usonian house and the only one overlooking a dramatic seascape. Usonian design elements included the use of natural and local materials, construction based on modular units and the integration of interior and exterior spaces opening out to views of the surrounding landscape.
The Walker House is integrated into its setting with strong horizontal emphasis, wide roof overhangs and large expanses of glass.
