This philosophy was exemplified in Fallingwater (1935), which has been called "the best all-time work of American architecture".

The American System-Built Homes were modest houses in a series designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright. They were developed between 1911 and 1917 to fulfill his interest in affordable housing but were sold commercially for just 14 months. The Wright archives include 973 drawings and hundreds of reference materials, the largest collection of any of single Wright project. Wright cancelled the project in July 1917 by successfully suing his partner Arthur Richards for payments due and didn't speak of the program again. The designs were standardized and modular, so customers could choose from one hundred and twenty nine models on seven floorplans and three roof styles. Most materials were prepared and organized at Arthur Richards' lumber yard, so there was less waste and specialized labor needed for construction. Milled and marked materials were delivered to the work site for cutting and assembly by a carpenter. Windows, doors and some cabinetry were built at the yard. Frames, shelves, trim and some fixtures were cut and assembled on site. Most wood parts had a part number and corresponding instructions and drawings for joining, fit and finish. Richards' yard also supplied plaster, concrete, paint and hardware.

Tan-y-Deri, also known as the Andrew T. Porter Home and the Jane and Andrew Porter Home, is a house in Wyoming, Iowa County, Wisconsin, United States. It was designed in 1907 by the architect Frank Lloyd Wright for his sister Jane Porter (1869–1953) and her family. Jane, her husband Andrew Porter (1858–1948), and their children James (1901–1912) and Anna (1905–1934) moved into the house by late January 1908. The home stands in a valley that was originally settled by the Lloyd Joneses, who were the family of Wright and his sister's mother. The Lloyd Joneses were originally from Wales and, as a result of this heritage, Wright chose a Welsh name for the Porter home: "tan-y-deri" is Welsh for "under the oaks".

Windfohr house (1949), also known as the "Crownfield" house.
