Horizon Vista Town house utilizes horizontal elements and earthy accents to bring the beauty of the prairie style’s gentle sloping lines and open spaces to life. By blending the long, linear lands of the prairie and the low setting sun on the horizon with essential architectural elements, this space emphasizes natural simplicity through the design’s clean, low lines and the incorporation of warm sunset colors and outdoor textures bringing some of nature inside.
