The design of these Prairie Style fence sections was inspired by the Arts & Crafts Movement. The abstract floral pattern echoes Frank Lloyd Wright styled clerestory windows surrounding the courtyard where the original fences are installed.

This fence owes as much to Frank Lloyd Wright's central ideas as it does to his design motifs. The colors of the natural slate, iridescent glass mosaic tile and copper insets, along with the rust finish, accord with his philosophy of "organic architecture," which maintains that structures should develop out of natural surroundings. The use of materials for their natural colors and textures, as well as for their structural characteristics is also characteristic of Wright's thinking. The staggered placement of the fence sections within the courtyard allows them to enclose and define the area while preserving a sense of spaciousness. A glass wall looks out from the living room of the house into the courtyard, making the outdoor living space an extension of the indoor space.

Designed to withstand the harsh winters of Northern Michigan, this fence should last hundreds of years with minimal maintenance.
