It is difficult, if not impossible, to discuss modern American or international architecture without mentioning Frederick C. Robie House. The actual geography of the site itself helped determine Frank Lloyd Wrights design. Measuring 18 meters (60 ft.) by 55 meters (180 ft.), the corner lot was three times as long as it was wide. These

Dimensions led Wright to think of the home in terms of two long, narrow rectangles. When viewed from above, the two rectangles are easy to see; however, from the street, each blends into the other, forming what looks like a single, continuous horizontal structure. Robie House was one of the first residences to incorporate steel beams directly into its design. These strong beams in the ceilings & floors were necessary to create the cantilevered balconies, which appear to be suspended in mid-air.

The entire building fills Approx. 841.9 m 2 (9, 062 square ft.). The front door & main entrance were deliberately hidden on the northwest side of the building beneath an overhanging balcony in order to create a sense of privacy.
