These 14 freestanding or semi-freestanding villas show quite clearly the influence of Frank Lloyd Wright on Duiker's work. The horizontality of the overhanging roofs and long strips of fenestration, the chimney as key vertical element and the open internal organization all derive from Wright's Prairie Style. Most houses have since been altered.
